Sympathy

Well, I made this card last week and little did I know, I actually made it for myself.  My buddy, Colfax, didn't make it.  He passed away on Saturday night.  We always considered him our "first born" and it is so hard to imagine him not around.  I'm trying really hard to not focus on how much I miss him but on how much love we shared.  I have always had cats but he was THE cat.  I'm so used to to turning to him for comfort when I'm sad and it's hard not having his soft fur to cry into at the moment.   I know it will get easier and slowly the sadness will be replaced by the fondness of my memories but that's hard to realize right now.  Thank you for all the prayers and thoughts.  I really appreciate it.  So now, for my sweet Colfax, a card.

    So sorry for your loss - Colfax's markings are beautiful - looks like your lovely sympathy card mirrors those lines! We have two Russian Blue sister cats - they definitely have personalities and become part of the family!
