In Memoriam

Hello, All;

On the day of the 6th of February, a voice finally went silent - one whose current lack of presence is even more deafening than whenshe could be in the house.

She was a literal member of the family when we found her, adopted her, and proceeded to give her the best 20 years of her life that she could ever have. Those 20 years were special to me, for I was blessed by spending that much time with her.

She was always open, always had time to hear our troubles, and always was willing to offer comfort to us; she was never too busy or pushed us away when she was up and about.

I still find traces of her even now, and memories still surface as a result: her favorite foods, her old toys, her favorite places to sleep... It was always a comfort to see her around the house, willing to help in her own special way.

Sadly, time overcomes all things, and is not merciful in its tireless march.

She was put to sleep on the 6th, freeing her of her aches and pains.

She was the best feline friend anyone could ask for.
