When I see the above picture of Abby I can see just how sick she was, although I couldn't at the time. I was too far into being blinded by love and fear, and above all else saving her. Sadly, one week later she succumbed to myriad of things that were making her battle a lost cause.
I had to change a few things around to be able to look into the corner where this chair sits to be able to deal with it and remembering how Abby loved it so.
To trick my mind's eye I put this small black and white kitty I had, which I had gotten back in 2007 that purrs to mimic the view of sleeping cat. Yes, it was a trick of the mind. Because it was so awful to look and see no amber eyes looking back at me. For just the briefest moment if you looked very quickly you thought there was a real cat sleeping there, it was enough for a short period of time.
Now of course I have the most darling fluff of softness and light who has found that she too likes sleeping there.
And so it shall past from Abby to Annabelle with no doubt in my mind an Angel watching over her and me.

Today our Dad is going in for shoulder surgery we could sure use your purrs and I'm sure Mom will update as she knows more. Thank you for keeping us in your prayers.
