Hello, friends. Paisley crossed the rainbow bridge today, where I'm certain her momma, Jo, was waiting on the other side for her. I have to believe in their reunion because otherwise I'm basically falling apart. She was an absolute sweetheart of a kitty and I'm thankful she made a pitstop at our home on her journies.
My kitty boy, Pepé, is definitely confused right now of where she is/went. He just planted roots on the shirt I wore today when taking her to the vet. Today has been difficult. I'm so glad her pain is over- her kidney disease was so progressive and they did not anticipate that she would come out of this very well, if at all. The choice, although very very difficult, was the most unselfish one I could have made. I'm so glad she got to spend at least some time feeling well and loved in her past few months. Her story broke my heart. My head could spin a million scenarios on how I could have helped her more but I'm really trying to make peace that she is no longer ill and is in a place where she can see her momma again. 🐈⬛🧇
While at the vet, I noticed that their walls had adorable art framed of a little black kitty with bright green eyes. In each frame, the kitty was standing/hiding or climbing in some scenario. One was in a flower garden. One was in front of a house under a window, one by a vase of flowers...you get the gist. I found myself envisioning Paisley moving through each of those scenes on her way to meet us in our garage that night. Oddly, it made me feel better, too, just thinking of her finally being able to tell her mom about all of her little adventures, some scary I'm sure, and the nice lady that helped her along the way. ❤️
Thank you so much for your love and support and well wishes for Paisley.
