Hey, Just a somber follow-up to this
thread concerning my cat, Twila.
I would also like to reiterate and accent my thanks to my friends, aquantiences, and fellow forum dwellers here at Ironworks who lent their support and shared their thoughts.
From my Journal:
I am quite saddened to report that Twila's condition rapidly deteriorated over the weekend and earlier today we had to put her to rest.
She is one of my darling Angels here on Earth and beyond. She will forever have a place in my heart. Right now though my heart hurts that she has gone while still young. I foresee restless nights to come, so accustomed am I to her nestling up at my side and lulling me to sleep with her loud steady purr. She was truly a gentle beast who taught the lesson of love by being both approachable and giving of seemingly boundless affection.
Though I am deeply grieved, I am also relieved that her suffering has ended. It came quickly and, sparing the details, was quite intense. It was also very brief, thanks to our awesome Vet. He came to our home after hours and on short notice to perfom the task. Her moment of death was peaceful and in the company of her loved ones. We have arranged to have her cremated and plan to lay her remains in the Earth at a future time and place.
We also plan to adopt a new kitty in the near future.
May the tears of saddness that flow today, caused by unavoidable seperation, sow great joy for us to reap during our inevitable reunion in the fullness of life.
Take care and hug a loved one for me,
Scott
