I picked up Honey's ashes yesterday. She really is gone... the reality of that hit me yesterday as soon as I put my hands on the jar that she is in. A couple of the nurses that had worked with her at my vet office where I picked her up gave me their condolences, and said things like; "I'm so sorry about Honey. She was such a sweet cat." Not only was that nice, but it's true. She was the most sweet and affectionate cat I've ever met. It's not fair that she's gone. I'm a fucking basket-case right now. I'm so fucking angry. Depressed. Drained. I've talked to so many doctors who say that there could have been a cure for Feline Leukemia by now, but usually when people find out that their cat has it, they put them down right away. So, there has been no incentive for researchers to find a cure.
I broke down last night. I was so upset that the room was spinning. A lot of you may not understand how I feel, as most of the world is far too unattached to animals. To me, it's kind of like I just lost one of my daughters.
Honey

I will always remember.
