I am now ready to get a new friend for my cat Nelson. Despite still missing Sidney so incredibly much I have decided recently that it is time to help another poor animal in need as well as giving Nelson, who frankly looks bored out of his brains, a new cat friend to spend time with.

I went to a cat sanctuary near my this weekend and decided that it would be a fitting tribute to Sidney to help a cat that so many others have passed over. Though Eli is only nine months old his life has not been an easy one. He was hit by a car a few months back and his back left leg was badly broken. It has not set perfectly and though he can walk fairly well he will never be one hundred percent normal. The staff was jumping for joy, literally, when I said that I wanted him. I could not say no to him and I think that one of the reasons he is so incredibly sweet is due to his limitations. He seems to be the ultimate lap cat and absolutely adores human companionship.

He is scheduled to get his final x-rays this week and we can probably bring him home this weekend. I can't wait for him to come home and also for him to meet Nelson. Despite Nelson"s large Maine Coon size he is the most gentle cat that I have ever known, so I have little fear in regards to their future introduction. I'm sure that in a very short time Nelson will adore Eli.

I'm sure that all of the pain and longing I feel for Sidney will last for a very long time. It's very hard to say goodbye. It's much easier to say hello. Hello Eli.

My Beloved Sidney. I lost you one month ago today. The days have crawled by and the loss is felt the entire time. I don't have to tell you that I love you. You certainly know that. I will tell you how much I miss you, though. More than you can imagine.

I wonder if some day I will be able to remember you with only happiness. There has been so much sadness to this point. You are and will always be my little love. My love for you will not fade with time. You have changed me forever.

It is coming up on two weeks now that my best buddy had to be euthanized. I am a total mess. My wife is coping a little bit better than I am but the house seems quiet without Sidney Irving Grossberg, the best friend that I have ever had. He was only 12 and a half years old. I always thought that I'd have more time with him. It was not to be. We were so ridiculously close to him that it was often the butt of jokes from our friends. A replacement for the lack of our interest in having children, etc. I have had many cats in my life, but this little guy was different. I can't imagine "getting over" this as many people are starting to tell me to do, as if my grief is unnatural as he was not human.

The last two weeks all that I have done is tore our house apart looking for all of the pictures of him that I could find. To date I have around a hundred of them, but looking at them just makes me sad right now. I am scared of forgetting him so I've been writing down everything that I can possibly remember.

Our other cat Nelson, a big, goofy Maine Coon, is such a beta personality that he doesn't know what to do without Sid whipping him into shape. We really got him for Sid, and of course we love him too, but he is definitely not the love sponge that Sidney was.

Thank everyone for allowing me to share. And thanks for this site as it is one of the few places that have helped me to deal with my loss.
