Good Morning!
I guess I should be posting in Grief, but if I can post about Sally (dog) in PZI, I assume it is okay to post about my feelings here...afterall, it is family, Right?!
The Vet School called yesterday and Kitty's ashes are ready for me to PICK UP! But, I am not ready yet-- as much as I want to complete this part of our journey, today is not the right day for me. I actually haven't cried this morning....YET! And, I know that life is for the living....so, I am starting a new chapter in my life. Kitty was my faithful companion for 16.5 years and now I must continue without her physical presence-- and she would want me too. Today, I am taking another step in that direction--- I am taking Chewy to the Beach for the Weekend with me-- his first trip! I have not been to the beach without Kitty since she was diagnosed, so it will be very different. I have to go buy Chewy a carrier-- I donated Kitty's to the Humane Society-- I couldn't bare to bring it home from the vet without her and Chewy had been using hers. Truly, she never needed it as she always rode in my lap or in the seat next to me.
My Heart Aches....and the hole is BIG, but I need to start moving forward.
Thanks so much for the support. I have developed some very special friendships here-- you are a very special group of people (crazy internet cat people..!!!)
I am not sure that I am totally back to being here, but I needed to be here this morning. For 17 months I started each day by posting here and it is hard to give up everything at once.
Wishing All Of You A Great Memorial Day Weekend from the Alley.....
PS....Don't worry to much about the numbers....just love your kitties!
