Remembering Grace

 I love this photo of Gracie. The color in her eyes is her natural eye color. All I did was remove the black and white from that section of the photograph.
 This was from the first series of photos I took of Gracie. You can see how young she was. Just a kitten still. She'd only been here a few short weeks in August of 2005.
I never published this picture. But every fall and winter when the space heater came out this was Gracie's go to spot. She loved to lie right up against it and she was always super warm. I will always remember this fondly.
 Just look at those whiskers.
 She loved being out on the porch in the sun on the platform.

 Our final Christmas. Just last December.

 Today marks six months that Gracie left us for the Bridge. It's hard to think of her as being gone. We miss her so so much. Today and tomorrow are very solemn around here. Too much sadness all at once.

    Your photo of Gracie by the space heater has the head peep misty-eyed remembering Cyrano, one of our cats who came before. He used to do that, too.

  12. I am very aware of my cats' mortality; I don't want to feel their loss, but I don't want to go before them and leave them with uncertain care. There is no preparation for such pain as comes with loss.

    Grace was a true presence in your lives and made them what they are, and what they will be, just as any loved one does. She was a gift.
