“If there ever comes a day when we can’t be together, keep me in your heart, I’ll stay there forever.”-Winnie the Pooh 🌳 On July 10th, 2020, I lost my best friend. My baby boy. It still doesn’t feel quite real—like he’s out there waiting for me somewhere and I just haven’t come home yet, because he was my home. Christopher was my sidekick for half of my life, and he fought so, so hard to stay. He was the bravest, silliest, most loving boy in the world. He never stopped purring. He loved giving and receiving kisses. He was always ready to defend another cat in distress, even if he didn’t like them. Sebastian (his little brother) and I are heartbroken; our world is so much smaller, so much emptier without him. We should've had so much more time with him. Yesterday, we planted a tree from his ashes. A white dogwood. I’ve been spending my time working on a cat friendly garden to surround his tree, somewhere nice for Sebastian and I to sit when we visit him. I think he would’ve liked it. He deserved the world, and I wish I could’ve given it to him. I miss you so much, baby boy. You were my heart. I will love you forever. https://www.instagram.com/p/CC_VnuojQeD/?igshid=18dk1c9eiaeto
