In April 2016, I happened to meet a black and white cat named Kylo. With a black smudge on his otherwise pink nose, he was a small kitten with such an adorable meow. I ended up adopting him from the shelter, and my life changed for the better.

Over the following months, Kylo became my best friend. When I wrote articles as Features Editor for the University Echo, he would nap nearby as I typed away. Every time I came home, he would greet me by rubbing his face against my chin (or by jumping on my back). No matter what happened in my life, from graduation to heartbreak and the start of the Covid-19 nightmare, he was always there for me.

Three years have gone by since he passed away. I still feel all the love he gave me.

I love you always, Kylo.
