Dearest Casey,
15 years just didn’t seem quite long enough. It seems like yesterday that I brought you home as a tiny kitten. And now you are gone. Forever.
I have been struggling to find the right words to say through the tears and grief since your passing. Honestly, where do I begin. There are just too many memories to count.
Your love of food, especially chicken cutlets and powdered sugar jelly munchkins, triumphed all else. Your love of the warm sun and light breeze on a cool day. Your p**p, which you loved to not cover up so the whole house would smell. Your endless meows and soft purrs. And oh how you drooled when getting scritches. And that doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface.
You were there for a lot of milestones in my life, my first full-time job, college graduation, and most recently, my wedding. You loved everyone you met, but your bond with Joe was unlike any other. These memories, along with so many others, I hope will never fade for that is all I have left now.
It’s only fitting that I publish this post today for today is the day I chose as your “birth” day. You would have turned 15 today and oh how bittersweet it is. While you didn’t officially make it to 15, you made it to your 15th year and that my love is one hell of an achievement for a cat.
I will be forever grateful for all those who helped you (and us) through your battles over the years. Without the support we had, I don’t think you would have ever made it this far.
You fought a valiant battle the last several months, my sweet Kissles. But your wings were finally ready at the rainbow bridge and it was time for us to part ways. You might be gone but your presence here is still very real.
You will forever be in my heart. Always. Until we meet again... . 2003-2018 😿💔
Love and purrs,
Your Mom
