I will always remember Violet like she is in this photo: Sitting on something soft, enjoying pets from the people who love her. We said goodbye to her this morning. She was very weak, her breathing was labored, the light was gone from he eyes. It was her time.
Bob was with me this morning at the vet. As we left, I was crying.
“Mom, I’m sad too. I have an idea. I will save up my allowance and buy a new cat and you can name her Violet.”
And then I cried more, this time from the sweetness.
Peaceful travels, Violet June Rosenberg.
So sorry for your loss of sweet Violet. 7 years ago we said goodbye to our cat, Mr Ed who was nearing his twentieth birthday and was battling squamous cell carcinoma. It was Easter Sunday and I remember it like it was yesterday. Know that little Violet is in a better place and you did the kindest, most unselfish thing you could do.
Be Well,
El
