The day was February 27th, 2021

I remember this day like it was yesterday

It was a very typical and average day

I went through the whole day like everything was normal

Little did I know it wasn’t

I had a soccer game in the morning  

Then I went to my friends house later on

Once I got home from my friends house the mood was off

My mom was crying

My dad was at work

I remained quiet and kept to myself 

I stood in my living room alone and confused 

My mom walked in and told me the news

My 17 year old cat was dead

I walked in to the kitchen where my siblings were

I felt the glass of the dishes shatter around me

Tears began to drip down my face as I see my cat 

Everything that I ever thought came to question

How did this happen?

Was she sick? 

All remained unanswered

Nobody knew how to act

Nobody knew how to feel 

It was such a hard day 

For everyone 

We thought of all the memories 

The years and years of them 

Gomez was always there for all of them

From the family parties to moving houses

From birthdays to holidays

She was there for it all 

Now it's all just memories
