One Month, Remembering Chester Options

[Chester'sMom]

It has been one month since my wonderful cat Chester's life ended too soon. Chester got hit by a car on October 7th while I was away at college. He was my baby, my angel, and I don't think I realized how much he truly meant to me, until he was gone. Chester was about a year and three months old, I had him for a little over a year. He was this skinny orange cat with a huge heart. He probably turned me into a bit of an orange cat snob. Chester was friendly, goofy, and wild. You could hold Chester like a baby and he would stretch out and start purring. Chester used to kill creatures and then kindly leave paws and the head for us in our garage. There were so many little things that Chester did, that made him unique. Like how he always would try to scratch our couch but as soon as you try to reprimand him, he just looked up and started purring. Or how when he was in one of his wild moods I could pick him up and he would calm down and just melt into me. When my neighbors were having a garage sale my friend had to come give us Chester because he was trying to socialize with the buyers. We used to have put Chester up when we would go on walks because he would try to follow us across the road. I loved Chester; some people think animals don't care as much about as we do them, but there is no doubt in my mind that Chester loved me just as much as I loved him. It doesn't feel like I have lost my cat, it feels like I have lost my baby. I am getting better, but typing about him like this still makes me cry. I miss Chester so much, but I can't do anything about it, but accept it. I just wish I had had gotten to say good bye. I love you Chester and I will see you again one day.

Thank you so much, both you for of your words. They mean a lot. I have always been emotional and it really is nice to know that people understand what I am going through and care. I know that Chester will be with me forever and I am really grateful for my wonderful year that I had with him. Times with him were some of the best of my life.
