Yesterday was a sad day in my life, as I lost my cat who has been a part of our lives for 13 years. She and her brother came into our home when we were married for a year and just bought our first house. The two kitten were 2 cute, tumbling over each other, and they could both fit in my husbands hand. We called them our four legged children until we had a human child.
My cat has been sick for a year, very skinny and had become a picky eater, mostly due to intermittent nausea. Over the year, I have going through the photo boxes finding those photos when she was young and vibrant. I will be scanning those photos and creating a memorial book for her. I suppose it will also include her brother who died of cancer last year.
On that same day, a friend lost her dog of 19 years, and another friend lost their cat of 15 years the week before. There are so many people in this world where their animals have become a part of their family and when they are gone, they grieve. Perhaps at time they hide their grief. They need not. I can't wait to finish my book, so I can share with my son the kitten photos, the funny stories and the love with share with our dear cat.
