One Week
Every week in the past Saturday, I mentioned my ultimate goodbye to my candy Katie Lady. It took me just a few days to realize the braveness and energy to learn via all the attractive feedback associates left on our weblog and on Fb. I used to be scared to learn them. Lacking her a lot, I puzzled if I’d miss her much more. However after I began studying, I spotted how a lot my candy little woman meant to so many individuals. Individuals who’ve been following us for the reason that starting “shoelace incident” to those who only recently stumbled onto us.

I’ve by no means actually written about severe subjects like vitamin, well being, coaching, and so on… It is at all times been about smiles and enjoyable, with some occasional heartfelt knowledge sprinkled in when Katie tried to elucidate the that means of affection, life, and loss to Waffles. I hadn’t realized what a distinction the foolish conversations between two cats had made within the lives of our associates and readers.  And the way the photographs enabled them to grow to be a part of so many households aside from our personal. 

Realizing that somebody began their day with Katie, and due to that it was a superb day, means absolutely the world to me. That her cheeky knowledge and sarcastic wit wiped somebody’s unhappiness away is without doubt one of the best items of my life.

I assume what I am attempting to say is thanks. Thanks for loving Katie. Thanks for loving Waffles. Thanks for loving me. I’ve learn via each single remark right here and on Fb and have all of them saved with my many recollections of Katie. I do not ever need to overlook a single one. You all have made this heartbreaking loss bearable. I’ve felt your love and luxury wrapped round me like a comfortable blanket.  

I have been holding Katie’s particular issues shut, the place I can see them, contact them, and bear in mind her. Her inexperienced frog that Gloman gave her 12 years in the past. Her purple MOM coronary heart she carried round in her mouth. Our photograph from her very first night time with us that I later utilized in our first weblog header. And my favourite, the purple ribbon and Comfortable Anniversary tag she was sporting when Gloman introduced her residence to me. 

Eternally missed.

Eternally beloved.
