Rest in peace my little friend

[epinoid]

Ian was put to sleep this morning at 10:15.

I am going to miss you, my little friend. Give my love to those who have gone before you.

I know that I've been posting to my own journal about it, but I wanted to comment here, too, just how special a kitty Ian was.

I'll be here for you, hon, for whatever you need, as you grieve. Just as I know you'll be there for me. ;_;

Thanks Sweetie. Your comfort is helping more than you realize. I know you are heart broken too. Sharing pain makes it more bearable. Sharing the memories of Ian and his wonderfulness helps us keep perspective on all of the good times over the last 14 years.

I'm sorry it had to go this way.

Thanks Dave

With your love of animals and menagerie you must have gone through losing a special friend a number of times. Something tells me it never gets any better.

Ian had a very good life and I need to grieve and remember all the joy he brought us.

Thank you Oggie.

I appreciate your support especially considering your Dad. You have been going through something much harder and I don't know if I would have the strength you have to have every day.

I saw a gold finch yesterday about an hour after Ian died. It made me think Ian sent it to check on us and say hi. It is the first gold finch I had seen in our yard in the 10 years we have been here.

Thank you.

Every time I turn around I get an echo of him. I have lots of regrets I didn't manage to take more photos of him. Luckily my memories of him are strong - they hurt right now but will bring me joy later.

Hugs to you...I know how this feels...

Thanks Jim.

I had him for four years before we bought our house. He is part of who we are and everywhere we turn there is an echo or memory from him.

Hugs
