I AM STILL SAD
I am still so sad about having to put our Sam cat down yesterday. I know she was very old and was just not doing well. She was 18 and she was just at the end of her line. She’s in a much better place right now.
Still it was very hard coming home to our house and not having her meet me at the door fussing because she was hungry. She would fuss and give you that look only Sam could give you as if to say, “Where have you been? I have been hungry for a while here and you were not here to feed me. So get to it now!? I
I missed having to move her out of the tub, where she slept and rested, so we could take a shower. I missed just being able to pick her up and hug her. I just missed her. I still miss her this morning and I am still very sad.
She was a big part of our family. She was only a cat, but we loved her so very much. My wife is very, very sad. Sam was the girl cat she had before the wife and I met. So she was with my wife even before we were an item. This was the last link my wife had to her single life, life with her family before we met and just something that had been in her life for a long, long time.
Her brother’s and sister’s miss her too. You can tell. My little female Lab, Casey, ran to the bedroom when we let her in yesterday. She knew Sam was gone for sure. All of our animals are a bit down. We’ll just pay extra attention to them and make sure they know how much they are loved.
So once again, goodbye my Sam. We will always love you.
