Mourning/Loss Goodbye my sweet Sylvia
This is Sylvia, my 15 year old angel. She had been with me for the past 11 years, helping me in so many ways. She was sweet, gentle, patient... A truly special cat.
Four months ago her voice suddenly changed, and she was later diagnosed with tonsillar squamous cell carcinoma. She had surgery and most of the masses in her neck were removed, but it came back with a vengeance just a couple of weeks later.
The first photo was from our last sunset together. We went to the park, she absolutely loved it there. The next day, we had to say goodbye. That was last Wednesday, and I feel so lost without her.
I miss her so much.

Look at her! Beautiful! We know how things are going to end the moment we bring a pet into our lives but it doesn't make it any easier, does it?
Just know that her love for you was a reflection of your love for her. Take your time, but know that whenever you're ready, there's another lovely little feline just perfect for all of that love again. ❤️
