She's gone

It's been 9 days since she died. For me she went too soon.
We still aren't sure why.
I miss her as do the rest. 
We keep expecting she will pop out of an empty box or from behind the TV.
I missed her terribly this week when I came home sick.
No warm cuddles or loud purring to lull me to sleep. 
I am sad that I never mastered capturing her harlequin suit of fur
in paint or sketch or photograph - she was so gorgeous, 
but those last moments together are etched on my heart.


 
 
She was a good cat and good friend.

  6. Thank you all for your heartfelt words and understanding.Frizzy was very friendly and I am sure she has met up with Dickerage. From their high perch I am sure they can see that Stich is sitting on my desk not a foot away. This would have been unheard of before our loss. Is he comforting me or I him? Perhaps he heard of my needs and is standing at the ready? It is unusual behavior for him.
