Saying goodbye to a member of our family


We had a very sad weekend as our oldest kitty Teeds passed away.He has been a member of our family for 20 years and will be sadly missed.We adopted him into our family when my son was 8 and I was 28 and it seems like he has been with us forever as my son will be turning 28,the same age as I was when we got him.Above is a photo of Teeds when he was younger and in his prime.It broke my heart to see him go but he didn't suffer,and I thanked god for that.He was a sweet and gentle soul and we will miss him dearly.

  3. I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my eldest kitty at the beginning of the year and they leave such a gap in your life. Remember the good times and all he meant to you and also that he had an amazing life with you.

  6. I'm so sorry for your loss. I know exactly how you feel as we recently had to say goodbye to our girl, Misty. After 25 years with me, my heart was broken when I had to let her go.
    Teeds knew you had to let him go. It does get easier. I promise.
    Hugs,
    Michelle
