Dusty, friend from 2/4/92-10/5/08.
I’m posting this photo a few days late… because I’ve really been struggling with sadness. and I am crying right now as I look at this photo again. This is my darling cat Dusty. We had to suddenly, without any warning… say goodbye to our dear kitty on Sunday. I could never put into words what this means for our family… but we are all having a hard time dealing with the sudden loss of our last cat. Growing up, my sister and I have always had the same three cats…this is the first time in our entire lives that there are no cats in the house…we just said goodbye to our little girl, Lana in January and are definitely not over her being gone… so having our last childhood cat ripped away from us so quickly has been really wretched. I can’t even stand this photo…that represents the last few seconds of my friend’s life… and the end of my childhood… my three cats were the one thing that stayed constant throughout my 21 years… and now this chapter has come to an end. The house feels empty without her and our hearts even more so, as we mourn the loss of the other two cats once again while we think about her. No blog will do justice to tell the world about my three cats & how they were my best friends… but the will never leave my heart. Dusty joined our family when i was four years old… before i even started kindergarten & was my best friend until I turned 21. And it feels like a piece of me is missing… I will never be able to thank our Creator enough for the divine gift he gave us in these three reflections of his love, Our beautiful cats. <3

Your words are definitely piercing to my heart tonight, Cherylyn. I know your kitties were so very special to you and everyone else in your family. My heart hurts for all four of you. You have been in my thoughts alot these past few days. Your kitties are all so precious. Now they are all hanging out together.
I’m still praying for all of you.
LOVE!
