I saw this on postsecret – if you had a pet that you miss, feel welcome to post a tribute

I saw this on the postsecret blog and wanted to reply….

post secret

Neither.  On June 15, I lost my 15 year old Maine Coon to cancer and renal failure. He’d seen me through marriage breakdown, separation, and divorce. He saw me through being broke and alone and a single mom. He saw me through moving half way across the country, where I knew no one. When I cried or was sad or down, he would wrap his paws around my arm, or just sit with me and purr.  When I was happy, he’d prance beside me. Animals love so unconditionally. I miss him more than I miss a lot of people, too.

You probably won’t see this. But I had to reply anyway. Maybe it will touch someone, somewhere.  

To anyone else reading – if you had a pet that you miss, please feel welcome to post a tribute…
