Earlier today, my cat died. She was an ancient thing, outlasting ice ages and dynasties gone by. I knew she wouldn’t make it through the winter, but that didn’t make it any easier. I wasn’t ready to see her go.
Faith was a close friend. The fuzzball saw me through some very tough roads. I’ll be feeling this loss for some time to come.

So sorry to hear that. Peace, comfort and strength to you. It’s never easy to lose such a close companion.
Thank you so much, Casz. Those words of encouragement mean a lot.
