Just a cat? I don't think so.

By now you will have realised that my family - both the furry kind and the non furry kind - are very important to me.

The furry kind of family has been pretty important to me over my life. When I have been alone, they have given me a reason to get up in the morning.

Last year I lost Twinkle and it broke my heart. Today I have had to take Penzance to the vet. He has not eaten for three days and is now in a lot of pain. They are doing x-rays etc to see what it is, but it appears he has something wrong with his stomach.

I am currently in tears in my room. Twinkle and Penzance have helped me, in their own furry ways, through a lot of tough times. It was hard to say good bye to Twinkle, I don't want to say goodbye to Penne. 

So I wait for news and hope for the best.

A beautiful blend of child and teenager!

Today I washed some of her baby clothes that I found so I can store them and it took me right back to when my whole clothes line had tiny little outfits on it. This year, she everything has changed and I am in so much grief for the loss of some of the old routines, it hurts!!  She is still my little button and I see that side of her when she is unsure or overwhelmed. I need to manage my patience through these growing phases, as my sister said "give her space and grace". She is the kindest, funniest and sweetest girl and I love her so much that it honestly hurts. I hope she knows that. She seems to have all my worst moments front of mind that I wonder at times if she sees ...
