Wise words from dearest Nelle:
Losing Molly is such a day-to-day transforming experience. More than our spouse, more than our children, more than our friends, it's those pets that we talk to and watch and cuddle and feed everyday. Molly leaves a very big hole in your life.
Thanks to everyone for your words of kindness and understanding. It meant so much to me, for not only am I missing little Molly Mable, I am surprised at just how sad I am ... especially really early in the morning.
Thank you to:
Heidi, Karen, Jean, Mary, Richard, Mark, Brenda, Adriana, Joy, Ainelivia, Mo'a, Clouds
P.S. I passed on all your messages to Ada Mae who seems to be searching for Molly in every corner of the place.
David,
What a beautiful piece. Thank you so much for sharing it with me here. My dear Molly, who was with me only seven years or so, is still in my heart. I remember her constantly and miss her strange, loving, joyful, grumpy presence.

We had to put our darling cat to sleep, she was 19 years old.I felt so bad the next morning that I had to write something down. just to mark her loss.I emailed it to my wife, calling it 'Some Words for Us"
Our darling little Annabelle
our hearts are broken
You had to leave us, that was the deal.
We wouldn’t let you suffer
We would suffer instead.
The hollow in our heart is you little cat
We can’t stop the tears when we remember
all the joy you gave.
No more greetings in the morning
No more can we feel your warm fur, or
have you sitting close by.
We loved you and you loved us
for all of your life, that’s our only consolation.
I don’t know why we cry so much
for such a small little cat
We just loved you so much our darling little Annabelle.
