Thankful Tuesday

Before I lose track of this pic, I want to show it...

 

After Ayla went OTB, I received flowers from the vet.  I mentioned that before.  But I also received 2 cards and wanted to show them with the flowers...

I'm not a big card-sender.  But I sure appreciated those.  And on this one-month Remembrance Day, the thoughts and comments from all of you then mattered to me too.  

It is past time to build Ayla's Memorial box...  I need to do some sad woodworking and digging.  She can't stay in the freezer forever...

And my grateful acknowledgement to the uncredited person who created this "free" image.  I will never know who you are, but that is Ayla to all intents and purposes...

Ayla, I miss you every day.  Your personal windowsill spot seems so empty without you there.  No cat talks to me as much as you did.  No cat sits under the bedroom chair as you did.  And you always meowed to me when I brought your foodbowl into the bedroom (so I would know where you were).  And then I would wait for you to decide where you wanted to eat...

The previous Mews were here when I was working and gone 12 hours a day.  So they saw me only a few waking hours of the day.  You were the first in my life to be with me when I was around 24/7/365 from arrival to the end.  I learned so much more of cats by that.

She was the very definition of catlike grace and beauty...

You were and are my Princess forever and ever.
