farewell, dear friend

tx_hive_queen's black tortoiseshell cat, Zeppa, first came into her life about fourteen years ago, at a little apartment off of Anderson Lane. She appeared at the doorstep one day, walked right in, and declared herself at home. I first got to know her when tx_hive_queen and I became lovers and then partners almost ten years ago.

I know it's rough, even when you have time see it coming and to come to terms with it, but it at least sounds like about the most peaceful of all possible passings. Hugs to you both.

thank you.
Yes, it was as peaceful as we could have hoped for, and it will be a little while processing it all. We have no regrets, is the sum of what I can say.

This is a horrible time for old cats. You have my sympathies. I hope she gets to see Omaha in the New Arrivals section of wherever-it-is.

thank you. I'm sure they can enjoy the time together. The best part of finally being allowed to chase, hunt, and eat all the birds she wants is that they're immortal, so you get to keep chasing them.

Omaha's tale was a fine one. *hugs* back, old friend.

I share your sorrow and loss. Trooni went over the Rainbow Bridge just a few hours before Zeppa. http://cabin77.livejournal.com/93754.html Trooni loved kitties so maybe they are friends over there.

Please know that you guys are in my thoughts.

I'm sure that they are. Thank you, and I'm sorry that you have had this loss as well, so suddenly. We were lucky to see this coming a mile off.
These are times, as I've said to my lovely wife before, of intense emotions, and you get to choose which emotion that is. I forget and remember that frequently.

I think I'm moving out of the shock of it all and through the grief right now. We didn't have time to prepare for this so the shock kind of numbed me for a day or so. I look forward to being able to move on to the part when I remember the good times. Should happen within a day or so.
