022123 - Day two of the new normal and I am slowly accepting that this was the best decision for you, no matter how selfish I wanted to be. Please send down of few purrs and grooming licks for your brother, Quinn, as he is realizing his new normal without you. He keeps looking for you and I'm sure you miss him too, but for my sake, I hope he doesn't join you anytime soon. It sounds like you are meeting all kinds of new friends in the meadows by the Rainbow Bridge.

030123 - Just over a week now you have been absent from our lives. It's still hard to not see your little face over the back of the sofa, greeting me when I get home, but recently you visited me in my dreams and let me know that you are ok and no longer in pain.

082123 - Six months now and I still cry more days than not. Quinn still seems lonely and I try to spend as much of my time with him as I can. I crave snuggling with him as much as he seems to crave me snuggling him.

022024 - What a terrible anniversary this is. It has now been one year and I still struggle to see pictures of you without breaking down. I don't think I will ever quite be able to think of you without a few shed tears. Healing is a slow, continuous process. Love ya, Sammy Cat, now more than ever.
