Meri's Musings

I'll give you a haiku-less post tomorrow but for today, another one. stone tears coalesce cling somehow to an eyelid sorrow   spilling out 

I had to let my little Shadow go yesterday. Her kidneys were failing and she wasn't eating. I couldn't sit by and watch her starve. She was the sweetest cat you could ever imagine. She stole my heart as a tiny kitten when she climbed into my purse and told me that she'd adopted me. She was indifferent to catnip, learned to hold her ground when the dog wanted to play, was incredibly talkative and the most gentle of souls. Her green eyes were luminous. The orange stripe on her nose was her unique beauty mark. People always were amazed at how friendly and affectionate she was. She was the grande dame of kitties. I'll miss her.
