Blogoversary

C.2010

Abby is sitting on the back of my chair.

I just like this photo.

Today,

12 years ago

that little black and white cat

inspired me to document

her life.

This blog began solely for 

the purpose of doing just

that.

***

I didn't know much about blogging

in those days. In fact I only

knew of a handful of bloggers,

some who are still blogging today.

Most of the 'old-timers'

have left for a lot of different

reasons.

***

I often found it understandable,

but sad that when the cat passed,

the person would stop blogging.

You form attachments and it's

hard to feel that loss.

***

It never occurred to me when I started

blogging Abby's life, that I would

lose her. I know, shake your head,

I understand. But it became apparent

after those first few losses of other

cat friends that one day it would happen 

to me....and it did in 2013.

***

I lost her and my world for that 

reason and many others

has never been the same.

But, I am so very lucky

that girl came into my life,

and even though I miss her

so deeply, everyday, I am 

grateful.

So grateful.

***

So today I celebrate the reason

for the creation of this blog

and 12 years of blogging.

Even though the blog

has transitioned from it's 

original muse it still continues on

in her voice.

It helps so much to keep her 

memories alive and also 

to create new ones.

Thank you all for joining 

in her ride.
