I am more tearful at work.

His absence is so profound.

I miss my Charlie cat so much.

I was 22 when he came into my life. 37 when I lost him.

I loved him more than I ever loved anything or anyone. He was my best friend in the world. I meant that when I said that. Get another cat? How? How could I give another cat what I gave Charlie?
Live the rest of my life without cats? How can I do that?

I feel like the rest of my life I will be falling asleep holding his blanket and wishing he would come back to life, bawling my eyes out.

I miss my best friend 😭😭😭

So, I thought I would share something I enjoyed seeing the film in theaters.

When they got to the part of the movie where they introduced number of the beast and played the spoken word intro… the entire theater audibly recited the whole thing word for word.

It was absolutely brilliant.

Anyone experience anything similar?

And my world is still destroyed.

I adopted Charlie The Cat when I was 22. I am going to be 38 this year. I never spent a night without him in the home I own.

He was a purrfect bobtail tuxedo cat. My best friend in the world.

He got kidney disease in August. He did okay for a while. But he got sick again. I will spare you the details but I know I made the call at the right time… I promised him I wouldn’t let him suffer and his last moment in my home was purring in his sunspot.

But god my life is so sad now. I miss him so terribly. I miss his purrs on my chest every night. I miss him greeting me with meows and purrs when I got home.

It is like life is in 2-dimensions now. There is no joy. Only occasional respites from crippling sadness.

I pay tribute to him, often. Sometimes talking, sometimes crying, holding his blanket.

God I just miss him so much. Charlie was the love of my life. He taught me how to love.
