One of my dearest girl-friends, Catherine, and her beautiful family surprised
me with Willow Tree's 'Love My Cat' for my birthday this year.
Catherine always manages to find the most timely, gorgeous presents
and it shouldn't surprise me. We live a few hours drive apart and
only tend to catch up a couple of times a year, however we are so in tune
with each other, it's amazing. When we do meet we pick up right where
we left off last. I love Catherine dearly.
Anyway,
I had been thinking
a lot recently
about
our divine, ginger cat, Oscar, who passed away five years ago from
complications around Cat Aids. I treasured him so and miss
the special bond we shared. Still
to this day, tears instantly flow when I think of that dreadful,
heartbreaking day I had to let him go. Even as I write this, I am
crying. I just adored Oscar
and
continue to do so. He will forever remain in my heart.
So,
of course, when I unwrapped my lovely birthday present from
Cath,
it was just perfect … and I cried – again! Not
only is the Willow Tree's
Love My Cat
special because of my Oscar, but since he departed, two more fluff
balls have found a new mum
in me, both needing a good home. I guess I'm what you call a crazy
cat lady. I love all animals, but cats are my absolute
precious
favorites.
I love my gift ...
