Sweet Little Chan Passed Away Last Friday..... Options

[JanEeee]

My darling kitten moved on to another experience early last Friday. She was such a sparkling personality, embracing life and so full of joy, it seems impossible that she is gone. She went quickly, so unexpectedly, only 5 months old.

I think one of the hardest things is that I was out of town the entire time she was sick. I could only manage a few phone calls, mostly it was by email that I learned of her serious condition. She left before I could return home.

Perhaps it was a blessing of sorts not to have to see her so frail and thin, so very sick. I feel very lucky that my cat care person did such a great job.

So hard to be back home without that bouncy little bundle of love, she would perch on my shoulder and refuse to switch to the usual lap sitting. I think she thought she was part parrot!

Miss her miss her miss her.

Lost another dear cat friend in 2008, Molly Malone, and then Mr X in 2009. Very hard to have to go through this again.

I am so glad that the holidays are over, I don't need to pretend that I am jolly and celebrating. I don't need to call out cheery greetings to friends and strangers alike, I don't need to bustle about to happy gatherings, to buy bright shiny packages, to decorate with holiday festivity and try to color my world in a brightness that is missing a very special someone.

How can a little ball of fuzz so small make such a difference? Her loss is acutely felt and her short time here much treasured.

There is no end to the joy she brought into my life so I try to remember her sweetness and sparkle and it eases my heart a bit.

I hope everyone has made it through the holiday season and is coping with the memory of a beloved friend that is no longer here.
