Saying Goodbye to an Old Friend

Yesterday our family said goodbye to a friend that has been with us for almost 18 years.

Companion to my older daughters since they were five, patient pillow for my youngest daughter when she was a toddler, one-time canvas for a purple marker that turned out not to be so washable after all, bed-hog, lap-warmer, bane of our dog’s existence, epitome of feline independence and hauteur…we’ll miss him greatly.

    I am so sorry. Sylvester will always be with you. I lost my boy of 21 yrs 6 yrs ago this August and I think of him every day. They are a blessing to have been in our lives. Again, I’m sorry.

      Thanks so much, Viki. The house is feeling pretty empty this morning…I’m sure it will for a long time.

    I’m so sorry Linda, losing a family member is hard. You’ll always remember him.

    I don’t know what to say, I’m crying already; lost mine 7 and 7 yrs ago and it still hurts…
