jb - hi. Yours and your dad's Lucy sounds like my dad's Nugget that he left me. He is always running up and grabbing my hand and trying to pick a fight to get me to play rough with him. Sometimes he plays too hard and really scratches me bad. Hey - I've been meaning to ask you - are you getting your appetite back? Have you been able to eat lately? I hope your appetite is coming back. I wouldn't want you to get sick.
i thk tjt 1 woz 2005 but she still runs arond like a ktten probely wrar a kitten out beleve ot or not she still loos the same havent got mush batery power left on my pc lap top so ill hav to go and charge up now shes on atack mode after my hand and 1 time my dad saiied she had her pars over the chair my dad last vyer had me in stitches he saied u wood thnk she woz tarking o yover the garding fense and she has jumpet on tip of me and nocket the keyd a bit funny
Is that a recent picture - she doesn't look 12. Of course, cats have much longer life spans than dogs. I'd always had dogs till my dad got these cats and then left Nugget to me (Samson died before my dad did - he thought he left Samson to me too, because I never told my dad Sam died). My mother-in-laws cats lived to be 19 and 20 and a neighbor of mine had a cat live to be over 20. So, I guess 12 for a cat is only middle aged.
thannk u storyas beleve it or not she cum from a rescue senterr 12 yrs ago wen she woz just 9 or 10 monthhs old
jb - Loopy Lucy is so beautiful. As far as looks - my favorite is a solid black cat. They are so beautiful. My friend rescues cats. She has some feral cats in her parking lot right now that are so wild it would take a lot to tame them, but she feeds them. There is one in that group that looks just like your Lucy, and I want him so badly. But, I can't even get close to him. Because I feed them sometimes for her, he will walk a circle around me when I'm there like he is greeting me, but he will not let me touch him. Your Lucy is a beautiful girl. You know, when my dad first brought Samson and Nugget home, I never thought grey tabby cats were pretty. I couldn't imagine I would ever love him. But, I very quickly grew to love him more than any other cat I'd ever had and probably ever will have. Now, I think grey tabby cats are pretty awesome too. But, I know if I got another grey tabby cat that it's personality would be nothing like my Sam's, so what's the point. So, I guess now I think the prettiest cats are solid black and grey tabby. Your Lucy is most certainly a beautiful cat.

jb - I believe that your dad is waiting on this side of the gate for you - that is why he can do things like pop balloons to give you messages. It is funny - you go that life insurance letter. My dad has been dead just around a year, and I got a letter from his doctor a couple of days ago reminding me of his appointment. Suddenly, I was back a couple of years ago and taking him to that doctor once when he was scared that the test would mean he would have to have this surgery that had been very hard on him again, and I was trying to explain to him how it was just a test and he didn't need to be scared. I was back in that moment, and my heart just broke all over again. It seems cruel for people to still send him mail, because it hurts so bad to receive it and be pulled back into those memories.
Crystal - I know how you feel. It has been just about a year since I lost my dad and there are still days when all I can do is cry. And, I've always had to be the strong one in the family too, so I know how you feel. Toward the end, I was the only one who was really there for my dad. My heart and stomach felt like they were being ripped out of my body it hurt so bad to watch him die. All I wanted to do was hide my head in the sand until it was over. I couldn't do that though. Every one else had their head hid in the sand, so I had to keep going no matter what. It was the hardest thing I ever did in my life. I went through the same thing when my mom was dying.
Christianlee - I am sorry June is so hard for you. I know how you feel. My mom died in December, and i now hate December. I hate Christmas, because my mom loved it so much, and she can't be here for it. But, I have to do Christmas for the kids in the family. And, I hate April, because that is when my dad died. They say April showers bring May flowers. To me those April showers now mean tears. I know how you feel about hating June. I think that is a very normal way to feel.
