Janelle was my dearest and best friend ever! My heart aches every day that she is no longer with us but I am sure that she is happy
to be with her Lord and all of those who she guided through their passing. She was an amazing woman and touched so many lives. God Bless You!!!!

This eulogy Trish, is moving and leaves my heart breaking with yours. I brought the current cat into my life with the expectation and even agreement that she would in all likely hood someday…break my heart.

Such times remind me of an excerpt from a Mary Oliver poem, In Blackwater Woods:

To live in this world

you must be able
to do three things:
to love what is mortal;
to hold it

against your bones knowing
your own life depends on it;
and, when the time comes to let it go,
to let it go.

Sorry for your loss.

The room-mate had two cats that I cohabited with for all but maybe 2 of their 12 and 14 years. The first one showed signs of weakness in jumping as well as a loss of balance and he put Slash to sleep earlier than he wanted to …out of concern for her ever-frequent falls. Feeling bad for Slash he kept Puff alive for what was probably longer than she should have been …she was in constant pain and was lifted/coddled throughout her last year.

Fast-forward about three years and I STILL see a certain shadow or object off to the side and for a brief instant think it’s one of them. That feeling will most likely never go away.

Sorry to hear about the cats, Trish. I’ve enjoyed the updates about them through your blog. Thank you, for sharing from your heart. The quote was especially nice.

When it’s time, I feel the right felines will once again wander your way…
