Good-bye, Sylvester, my friend...

Today, my oldest, dearest feline friend passed over the Rainbow Bridge.  She had been in failing health for a few weeks and I knew that it was getting time as she was giving me "those" signs.  Sylvester has always been a fighter, always.  She fought up to the last as her body failed her.  For the last two days she had refused to eat and today when I came home from work I fould that she had vomited blood several times, an area covering about 4 foot square.  She was miserable and so I called my Vet, who is also my employer, and told him that it was time.  Sylvester gave me the sign that she was done fighting.

She gave me many years of happiness, a warm lap, and someone to share my secrets and the last bite of my meal with.  I will miss her greatly. 

My husband, my parents, my sister and I went out to celebrate Sylvester's life.  Her favorite thing to do was eat so we went out for supper in her memory....

I love you, Sylvia.  I will be looking for you when it's my turn...
