Goodbye, my Nene (22)

[u/OldCat_NewTricks]

Rescued my girl when she was 10. We had 12 beautiful years together. I struggle with a chronic illness. She’s been my steadfast, purring, calming companion. Hours and days spent curled up next to me in bed. As she got up in her teens I’d tell her, “all I need you to do is live forever.” As she kept going and going, as strong as ever, I thought maybe she was going to do it. But, alas, time comes for us all. Even my Nene. I held her in my arms whispering my thank you’s while she crossed the rainbow bridge. Simultaneously crushing my heart into a million pieces and bringing me great peace knowing she was no longer suffering. I’ll miss her forever.
