Sorrow is an undeniable part of life. But I believe that it is part of being human.
I am very sad today. We had to put down our oldest cat, Carter. He was my little buddy. It’s crazy to think he has been around for nearly 1/3 of my life.
He was an incredibly sweet cat.
But pets rarely outlive us, so today I am experiencing sadness at the loss. Walking into a house that is still full, but feels as though there is a hole, because there is.
We gave Carter a great life. He was always our “special" kitty - a little more high maintenance than a stereotypical cat, but we loved him.
But the sadness I feel today is vastly outweighed by the feelings like in this picture.
Feelings from the 11 and a half years Carter was a part of our family. These are the memories I will hold on to. Not the sadness of today.
So, rest in peace, Carter. I miss you, my little buddy. I love you. I am so sorry about today, but I am so grateful you were a part of my life.
