Happy Birthday Mauman

April 29, 2026

My dearest Maui, 

Did I think about you today? Yes.

Did I think about you yesterday? Yes.

And the day before that? Yes.

I miss you, boy. I will hug you in my heart today, and tomorrow. And yesterday.

I love you, I love you, I love you

your human for forever

I miss Harry

 That really about sums it up.

I miss you, Yerrr.

I love you, Maui Onion

 …

I miss you, Harry

 I will never forget you. I will always love you. I miss you.

Happy Birthday, Maui

My dearest Maui

I think of you every day, or at least a couple times a week… at least. No less than that, though, my jealous boy. 

I will always remember how you hated other cats. It was pretty amazing to what extreme you hated other cats. I guess I describe it as even unusual for territorial cat behavior. Except for that one time. 

When I looked out my window and saw the scraggly long-haired matted pitiful thing looking at me with its piercing eyes, I called it demon because it looked like a demon staring at me.

That was the only cat you ever allowed to be within a mile of you without eviscerating it. I remember how you let him into the house and let him eat your food while you stood guard.

You were really such an aware, dear soul, Maui. I miss you so much.

I miss your powerful nuzzles and how loyal you were to me and how you loved people so much. The way you loved people and the way you hated cats was a mystery to me. 

I’m really looking forward to one day seeing you in heaven.

Happy birthday, my beloved boy. I sure love you.

I love you. I love you. And I love you.

I love you,

your human who loves you always

My Maui Onion

Happy Birthday, boy. I remember this day. 

And then when you came home, too. And all the joy I felt. So much joy that you were back in my arms that I watched you wander around until 4am. I miss you, boy.

I love you, Maui.
