Good Bye to my friend Mood
Friday, March 14, 2008 | A Sad story
This morning I said good bye to my little fuzzy friend, we both cried all the way their and I wept all the way back. I got up this morning and he came through looking for me, he had not been eating so I thought he just needed some water, and the dish was empty. I filled it with fresh water but that wasn't it so I got a small plate and put some dry food in it as I know he would eat that but no. Ok well I had some wet food for him so I opened up a can and he ate about half of it. That was good as I don't think he had eaten in days, he did get to eat one last time. He jumped up on his favorite window and looked out  for a little while. I picked him up put him on my chest and petted him for about 25 minutes, we just sat quietly and I listened to him pur away for the last time. Then I put him in his carrier and we set off for the vet. As I said we both cried the whole way, but for different reasons. He cried because he hated being in the carrier and he hated being in the car. I cried because I know I would be returning home with out my constant companion who has been by my side for a very long time and especially the last 11 or so months. Sean was a great cat and the best I had ever had the pleasure of being around. He was loving, funny and a little strange. He loved to have his belly rubbed and would bury his head into my chest. He would sleep at my feet and just lately he would sleep on me which was not always comfortable for me but I didn't mind. No matter where I was when I was home he would be there with me constantly either on me or in range of sight. Now I am alone  and I have to deal with that once again I have to learn to move on and be happy with the memories I have. I was lucky to have him in my life and he will never be replaced in my heart. Some one said things like this remind us that we are capable of love and I do love Sean very much. He kept me going through some dark times and greeted me just about every day I came home. I will miss you buddy but I know your not suffering and your in a better place what ever that may be.

    I'm so sorry, I wish I could think of something to say to take your pain away.
    Sean and you were the best of friends. You were so fortunate to have each other for the time you did. Sean is in a good place...hang in there ....it's going to be lonely without him. No other cat can replace him, please think of getting another because it will help, I know you don't want the responsibility right now, but knowing you have to take care of another animal will keep you so busy it will help the pain a little. There is another cat out there who needs you as much as you need him. Not now but maybe in time you will think about it. HUGS
