oldmangrumpus came by last night after work. We reminisced about Merl a little bit, then went to dinner at Stell's for burger-y things. It was comforting to have company.
I want to thank everyone for your support these last two weeks. I'm so blessed to have friends like you all. I want to thank especially Mr. Grumpus,
ironymaiden,
markbourne,
e_bourne, AEH, and
herself_nyc for support above and beyond the call.
The doorbell just rang. A messenger brought a beautiful arrangement of white daisies from the Cat Clinic of Seattle, which cared for Merlin and still cares for Spanky.
I should be receiving Merlin's ashes in about two weeks. My plan is to spread them from the balcony here since he enjoyed sitting out there, walking along the railing, and watching the birds and squirrels and trees.
I want to post a little bit of biography about Merlin within the next day or so. I want to scan and share a couple of photos that not many people have seen. It's way to share him one last time.
