With Great Sadness, Goodbye Dear Midnight

My heart is broken as I write this. Our dear Midnight is

now in heaven. This picture I took yesterday as she and I

sat in the sunshine (her favorite pastime).  She had the most 

gorgeous green eyes and beautiful shiny black fur. She 

was a true lady right to the end.

Midnight came to live with us one sunny summer day.

She wandered up on our deck and decided to stay.

 I might add that she was very, very pregnant at the

time. I took her in and kept her in and she blessed

us with nine (yes nine) kittens.Two gray, one tiger stripe,

two Siamese and four black. It was a zoo around here

for eight weeks and she was such a good mother to all

of them.We had them all neutered and put up for 

adoption, except for three who had won our hearts.

This was thirteen years ago. The vet figured she was  

fifteen now. She died of cancer. Surgery was not an option.

The three kittens we kept our waiting for her

as they have all passed away too. 

 So now I am having to help her buddy Teddy 

understand and help him deal with the loss of 

his pal.  He has stopped eating but the vet

says this happens.

All our pets are family and they all have

brought us great joy. Miss Midnight you

are in our hearts forever.

Thank you for choosing us 13 years ago.
