Smith Family Weblog

We said goodbye to our sweet kitty last night, and it was terribly sad for all of us.

She was part of our family for more than 15 years. She was what made us a family when we brought her home on our first wedding anniversary. She survived three moves, three kids, and one of two cancer diagnoses. She destroyed the carpet, drank only from the sink and wouldn’t think twice about clawing your eyelid if you fell sleep while petting her at night.

The kids are tearful, Bryan’s bereft and I fail to see how I’ll ever adjust to what seems like a very empty house.

We are so grateful for the calls and words of kindness during the past day. Thank you for your understanding, and for realizing just how much we loved her.
