Almost a year (11/24) since my black & white mama's kittyboy Toby died. It hurt...And people don't get it.
My fiance's sister had a stillborn child, and he was very angry at me when I didn't show the "right amount" of grief over the tragedy. "You cried more for your damn cat than for my sister's baby". I never knew your sister's baby.
Toby lived with me and loved me for almost twelve years. He was by my side (on my lap) me when no other human on the face of the earth would have anything to do with me. He saw me drunk, he saw me sober, he saw me sane and insane, and he loved me through all of it.
To my fiance's credit, when we found Toby dead, he was the one who cleaned him up, and wrapped him for me. We went out to a place by the pond, and he held me while we buried him. He understands, but he doesn't.
I'm just glad somebody does. Petloss gave me a place to share with others who do.
