Last week was a tough week.
After 14 years with Josie, it was time to say good-bye.
A gut wrenching decision that had to be made after months of prolonging the inevitable.
Josie will be remembered as a fighter, a spunky, feisty cat that at the end, became the most loving animal, especially to the children.
She adored Tessa and every time Tessa would cry, she would locate her in the house and sit by her until she was finished. A heartwarming gesture to observe and one that we will remember.
While Josie certainly had her moments, she taught us a lot - lessons on patience, on enduring hard times, on not taking moments for granted.
The children handled the situation well, but Noah still asks for her and the other night, just before he drifted off to sleep, he looked me in the eye and said, "Mom, I know what we can do. We must find a wishing well and make a wish that Josie comes back to us." My eyes filled with tears and though I commended his brilliant idea, I then had to go onto explain that unfortunately that is not how the process works.
Josie Lyn - May 2001 - June 2015
