Our cat passed yesterday after what was a very long and painful night for all of us. Today is the first day without her and we miss her very much. We are comforted knowing that she had a good life and is now at peace. She is pictured here sleeping on my wife's legs as she would most mornings. At night she would sleep on mine as I watched podcasts or read. We had a wonderful 16 years together. I am very grateful for that. Edit: I will try to answer all of your comments personally but know that if I don't I do appreciate them and things are very raw for me right now. PS.This has been very helpful for me, thank you all.
