Mel would walk down the hill and break in every couple weeks just make sure she was alright. As much as she annoyed him , I know he’s gonna miss her too. Flo and I slept together every night and spent so many days on the Lazy boy or in the little studio with her coming in and out while I did my work. She did this thing where she would ‘make biscuits’ with her claws on my chest before we went to sleep and it hurt so much but she wanted to do it so much I let her. I have permanent Flo scars on the center of my chest. They still red. That about says it , actually. I miss you and im so sorry I cant be there to say goodbye. I know you could tell it was my voice saying your name the way only I did earlier. “FLOOOOOOOOW” We’ll put you right by your favorite tree. In your favorite yard. By your house. It will always be your house. Rest long and good you beautiful weirdo. Thank you for bringing us such joy over the years. Credits: Cherie and I cried on the phone last August when we thought we were gonna lose her. But Cherie, you helped bring her back to life. Thank you Cherie. Andra and Ev, the care you are putting in to this process touches me so deeply. Dan and Bez for the trip to the shelter that day. Kyle for being my guiding light in life back then and for encouraging me to do something , to invite something into my life that I could take care of, not just take care of me. Enjoy some of the best of all these pictures ive saved over the years.
