Ebony came into my life after I got out of the Navy.
I am actually his third owner as he was originally my sisters who he rescued himself by just walking into her apartment and going "I live here now"
My mom took him in after my sister and he lived with my grandpa and her.
I moved into my mom's house after I got out of the Navy and I took him after we had to move.
He live with me since then and was my one constant thing that got me through my days. I honestly don't think I would be on this Earth if it weren't for him.
His last days were spent with warmth and love and today he chose to crawl into my lap and pass away.
EDIT: I just want to thank everyone for you outpouring of support and love, it truly, truly helped.
Oh how privileged you are. So many kitties want to be alone at the end but Ebony knew you were his Person and his safety. What a beautiful story. I know it is awful to lose your heart's love, and I hope a day will come when you remember the end with gratitude and warmth, the same warmth with which you tell Ebony's story. My heart goes out to you. Ebony is an angel.
This is beautifully written and moving. I lost my best friend (a dog, not a kitty) almost exactly 20 years ago. Didn’t think I needed to hear/read this, but I did. Thank you.
