This is the time of year to remember what has happened, and to look forward to the future. First, let me thank the local 757furry group for accepting me. I had never said how much love and openness I have been shown. I knew before I joined the group, I would be old enough to be the father to most anyone in the group. Even with this, I was accepted and most quickly figured out I was just like them. Then a wonderful thing happened, we got a new member, and he eventually became my mate. I had not really been looking for a mate, it just happened. Our group encouraged us in this, this has been great.

My mate, where do I begin? I do not say it has been all idealistic or perfect. We work together through all things. This truly has made us a pair. I love him so very much. He has brought me much joy and pleasure.

What about the future? I plan to be with Pat as long as I can. Being furry is a way of life for me. He has this same concept. Life right now seems difficult, so many problems at the same time. Pat manages to always makes me happy, regardless of the circumstances.

I love you Pat. My mate, my love, my kitty.
