You are my familar, like a blanket that I wrap around myself to cover these old furry bones in warmth and comfort. I am safe in your arms and I know you will never leave me for long. When you are gone, I think only of you and when we can be together again. In this way, you are my life. I cling to every word you say. I watch for your approval and I am destroyed when I disappoint you. Your smile is my joy... your sadness is my enemy and I try to vanquish it from your eyes and face. I protect you and seek shelter behind you when I am afraid.
Am I perfect... no... I am only what you have made me to be. I am your child, your creation, nothing more than the sum of what you've put into me and what I've learned from you. I have your humor, I understand your commands, I know your moods and emotions. In some ways, we are connected with a link unlike you will ever have with another human. That is because I am not selfish and would never put myself above you. You are my leader, my pack, my family. A smile from you is all the approval I need and your stern voice is all the punishment I can stand.
All I ask in return for this endless and limitless devotion and love is that you remember me. Do not forget the bond we have and the trust I have given you. All I ask is your time, your affection, a bit of food and water and the unenviable task of making you happy. Never turn your back on my love, never abandon me and never forget what you mean to me. Losing you would be more than my heart could take. Just love me, old friend... just love me and we will be together forever.
