Goodbyes.
I'll probably post more this weekend and put up some photos, but for now just the basics:
My best friend and feline companion of 19 years died yesterday. Nina became my kitty in 1991, right after I finished college and has been with me ever since. She's moved with me to five states, made multiple car trips across the U.S., has seen relationships (and one marriage) come and go, and has been my furry little touchstone all my adult life. I feel her absence like a rip in my soul.
No home would ever have been complete without Nina in it and she has followed me everywhere I've gone these past nearly-20 years. I would like to think that this time she's gone on ahead without me for a bit so that everything will be all homey for me when I get there. I hope she's ripping holes in the sofas on the next plane of existance for me.
I love that cat. Love her more than almost anything and she has brought me more happiness than any other living creature ever has. I miss her to the point of pain.
Please send her your thoughts and wish her into a happy and peaceful place for me.
