A year ago today

My 15-year-old cat Penelope died last October 17. We were together for 14 wonderful years.

I posted a memorial here and received many supportive replies.

The grief has faded but I still miss her and sometimes feel sad when she comes to mind.

In memory of my sweet Penelope, 2007-October 17, 2022.

My 17 year old "baby" died June 2, 2020 and the grief is just as bad now.
