Eight Years

Posted By on January 16, 2012 at 1:31 pm

Today would have been Mycah’s eighth “Gotcha Day.”

We — the lads and I — have adapted to life here without her.

She was elderly, and her passing in November was somewhat expected, but when the end came I wasn’t even close to being ready for it.

I still miss her every day, quite a lot; it was the support of people on the net, especially the Cat Blogosphere, that buoyed me through that initial grief.

For that, I am truly grateful.
