Said Goodbye to a dear old friend
Today I had to say good bye, along with my children, to a very dear old friend. Flower was one of our fur children and she was 21 years old. She had been a part of our lives since my oldest daughter was only 4 years old. She loved the story of Bambi at that time so she named our new little kitten Flower.
We came home from vacation Monday to find her not eating. I knew in my heart it was her time but I just wasn't quite ready to let her go. This morning my one daughter woke me up telling me she thought it was time. I knew she was right. I called the vet and made an appointment for this afternoon. We all took time to hold her and say good-bye. I guess Flower wanted to go at home in the arms of those who loved her...as my youngest held her she took her last breath....we never made it to that vet appointment.
We have owned a lot of fur children in our lives as a family but Flower was the Queen of the house and she will be so sorely missed.
Flower...you most certainly lived a long life filled with so much love.
Flower in her favorite spot...warming herself on top of the register.
