Thanks

Posted on April 3, 2003 in Cats Gratitude Grief

Thank you to everyone who responded so quickly to my news of Tracy’s death last night. And thank you to those who will offer their comfort. I’m not so down on the world as I was after Ambrose’s death. This was almost a beautiful experience. I carefully lifted her from the floor of the hall and took her into the office. We spent the last two hours of her life together as I chatted with people online.

She just stopped breathing. Her breath had been so faint that I watched her for several minutes to be sure. The pumping of the chest ended. I kissed her on the head and told the people I was chatting with that she had passed.

Tracy has died, but I still live. Virginia Mew will need to be fed in the morning. I will share the bed with Lynn. Again, thank you.
