Gone, But Not Forgotten

It’s been some time since we last posted a message on the blog.  However, today is the day we lost Fluffy a year ago (April 15th).  I personally still think of her every day.  I know Michele misses her as well.  She had that much of an effect on our lives.  

We have rescued two cats since the last time we posted.  They are good boys, and we are trying our best to provide them a loving home.  Their names are Sebastian and Landry. Like everybody, they have their own personalities.  They are not like Fluffy.  I know I’m not always being fair to them, as I still have mixed feelings about bringing in any other animals so soon after losing Fluffy.  I know she would be okay with them being with us.  We often tell the boys about their big sister and how she would get along with them.

 It’s a Thai custom to leave out a dish of food for someone who has passed away.  I plan on doing that this evening for dinner.  Fluffy loved fish.  So, I’m preparing that as her meal tonight.  Any time I would make fish, she would smell it and be right next to me in the kitchen rubbing against my leg and meowing.  She always (and still does) pulled my heart string, and I would always give her some fish to eat for dinner. 

The pain still lingers on, but I try to think of the good thoughts and that seems to help and from time to time even brings a smile to my face.  It may have seemed silly at the time taking all those pictures of her, but I’m glad we did because it really helps to bring happy memories of her. I would not have changed that part. 

Today is a day of remembrance and should not be of sorrow (easier said than done).  Even though someone may not be among us physically, they will continue to live on as long as you remember them.  I will always love you, my daughter.
