Vanilla...my angel

My dearest Vanilla,

You came to us on a hot balmy night in August 2006. You were so tiny and vulnerable but full of mischief and love from the moment you came to this world. You loved everyone around you and befriended one and all, touched us with your warmth and generosity. Your adventures would often get you in a spot but then help was always at hand. Your playfulness made a ball the most versatile time pass. The mornings when you would fetch the newspaper for me at the break of the dawn will always be cherished by me. The nights when you curled up and booed at the light indicating it was time to sleep will always be remembered by us. Our trip to Binsar and Almorah together Sanju, Saurabh, Jina and myself will cherish for ever. You almost rolled me down with the sleeping bag that cold winter night and I wish you could do that again and again and again. In two and half years the love and affection that you showed to every one is remarkable. I feel blessed to have known you, to have been around to take care of you. I am sure you are spreading your magic yet again wherever you are now...with all my love. Thank you for everything sweetheart, you will be missed forever.
