Folks, thank you all for your wellwishes, thoughts, and prayers. Somehow, I knew that she wouldn't pass at a later age... From the start, it was like she wasn't going to have that kind of luck, you know? I was lucky enough to finally get her OTJ after 5 years, but beyond that, I didn't know how, or what to do, other than to try and make her as comfortable as humanly possible. I don't ever regret taking care of her for as long as I did as she did give me tons of knowledge and tons of patience, and would do it all over again, but do things differently. I just hope not too soon, though. Both Blackie and I did acquire a lot of friends on here, though, and for that, we're both eternally grateful. Blackie is now sitting next to her daughter, Daisy, on the entertainment unit where I can see them both. I take comfort that she's with us... That they're both with us. I feel relief that she's no longer in pain, and yet feel sorrow that she's no longer with us. We have a lot of wonderful memories with her, and she'll always remain in our hearts, and our thoughts. She'll always live on.
Now, we have only Tiny, Groucho (brother and sister, and Blackie's remaining babies), and our adopted kitty, Aurora.
