Happy Motter’s Day. [image]

It amazes me that this picture turns up again and again on my Tumblr.  The first time I saw it was almost 4 years ago.

Just a typical Friday night around here.

This…

I’ve succumbed… It better be worth it.

Clear the roads this weekend.

I hope you’re going to eat hotdogs in that car!!!!  I want pics of you in your Frankfurter eating a Frankfurter!!

Made me smile…

So this morning Becks the cat, with a little bit of help from the vet, died peacefully in my arms.  

She had been with me for so many years that I can honestly say I can’t remember what life was like without her.  Tonight is the first night in 14 years that I have spent in this house without her snuggled up close by me and it feels incredibly odd not to have her here.  She would always be close at hand in the evenings, either curled up right beside me, in whatever chair I was sitting in, or sat very close so she could see where I was. 

At night, if she did start off going to bed with my daughter, I would always be woken at some point in the night by her coming in to me.  She would wake me up in the mornings with a nudge of her head or her sitting on my chest to tell me it was time for her to be fed. 

She was never a “foot of the bed” kind of cat either… she would have to be either right up under my chin or taking pride of place on the pillow next to mine.

With my daughter leaving home late last year it was, without a doubt, my lovely little cat that kept me sane.  Making me feel missed when I would leave for work and making me feel welcome when I got home from work.  I know deep down this affection was also driven greatly by her stomach and desire for me to just get a move on and feed her when I got home from work but it was always nice to have her waiting for me, meowing and purring up a crescendo until her food bowl was filled.

The next few weeks are going to be very very strange as I get used to her not being around. 

I make no apology for the million and one pictures of her that I’ll post in due course.

This picture is going in a frame somewhere in the house.
