You were never one to really complain only when you wanted to eat. Near the end that was never very often. Life could get so busy but you never complained or pushed your way in you were always there waiting for me. And no matter what you were always there for me.
I miss you my Russell-Kitty and my world won’t ever be the same. I still hear your sweet soft purr your tiny meow and feel your whiskers tickling my face. I’ll hold you forever in my memory because you were so much a part of my life. Through moves from one town to another and graduate school to further my career. Then through my bringing in a man to our home (and two more cats!) and then a baby! So many of the events of my life also include you. How grateful I am that you stayed with me for 18 years! And when you passed I was there. Not at work or asleep (as I had feared would happen) but home and not able to get to the vet on time. Thank you for the priviledge of being there at the end with you. You chose the best way for both of us.
Now you and Cinder are together again. I think of you both frolicking among the grass and trees she following you of course! You are both young healthy and free from pain. I’ll remember you both that way but miss you the most. You were always my baby there to keep a place in my heart and life open so that I could some day share it with others. And boy did you ever create a big space: one that has room for many people but will never be filled completely except maybe for memories of you.
I will love and
remember you always.
