My cat Jellybean died yesterday. I had given her back over to my parents, and we thought putting her back on the thyroid medication might help, but my dad found her yesterday. At least we didn't have to make the decision to put her down, but we really thought she was doing better. She would have been 14 in September. She was the first cat that Joe ever liked and that led to us getting Thelonious. At least I got to see her the day before she died. She was all skin and bones in my arms.
I was in the grocery store with Joe's best friend Randy, picking out peppers for the dinner he's making us tonight, when my mom called me and told me. We ate the veggie soup I made for dinner, drank wine, and smoked cigars out on the deck.
There is so much sadness in the midst of so much happiness. It's incredible, this life.
