She entered our lives in 1993, a kitten bought from a local pet store in town.
My mother and I whisked into the pet store with anticipation because my mother had determined she was going to buy Alan a kitten. It was a day of blooming roses. I remember Alan was barefooted when we placed this tabby tri-colored ball of sweetness into his arms, almost twenty years ago.
"What greater gift than the love of a cat."
~Charles Dickens~
I have dreaded this day for some time. But even in my sadness I am extremely thankful she was a part of our lives for all these years.
I will miss her so.
