        I met Callie when she came to my back door of my apartment I was living at in 2016 she came to me 3 days before my grandson’s birthday my grandson passed away and 2014. Callie was with me for 8 years. Callie was a calico kitty she was very friendly and loving.

          How touching it must have been for you, Sally – to have Callie come to you, to bring you joy, love and comfort. Callie had a loving, long life with you, and we can never have them long enough, but don’t you feel your life was enriched by having Callie with you? Now the hard part – the emptiness of your home, and missing her. I encourage you to come to our group Thursday the 15th – I think you will find great support and understanding, and you can share with us. Toni

              Sally, When I said goodbye to my girl I was happy for her release and relief. She was old and unwell. However, the second I walked in my home, I was devastated – she wasn’t there and would not be again. The emptiness of our surroundings and changes to our daily routines is hard and takes time to adjust to. You will, Sally. I will never recommend getting another pet until you’re ready, but much to my surprise, ten days later I took in a one year old kitty whose mother was in hospital, and he really filled my world. (He went back to her three months later and broke my heart again, but he pulled me back into the lovely, loving world.) Take your time, be kind to yourself knowing the wonderful life you shared qith Callie, and one day you will find smiles before tears with her memory. (HUGS) Toni
