Mourning My void is dying and I’m sad

Post image

Just that. She’s fifteen, has cancer, I’ve had her for thirteen years and I’m devastated. I wanted to share her with everyone, as she’s brought me so much joy and I’m going to miss her terribly. I started palliative care this week, and she just took a turn for the worse. Her name is Mortimer. It’s cheesy, but she’s my best friend.

It’s a few year old, but that’s my favorite picture of her.

It's always incredibly difficult to watch as their sweet lives take on different paths.

I had my wonderful void for about 18 years. She was a timid little kitten, and I grew up with her alongside her and her sassy orange sister. I've lost both of them now, but I still miss them in all their silly antics.

I hope you get as much time with her as possible. You've got all the love from this corner of the internet. 🧡
