The Box

Posted by bec in Family, Me, Myself and I | Tagged , , , | 12 Comments

Mum brought it home.

A small box, about 6″ x 4″ x 3″.

Heavier than it looks.

Wrapped so tightly and never to be opened.

Izzy came home today.

I’m sorry, I just don’t feel like talking today.

    I still have the ashes of my old cat, Olive, who died ten years ago. I still cry when I look at. I’m sorry.

    I’m so incredibly sorry, hon. I really, truly am.

    Our cat is at the end of the garden under a feline statue. I’ve been trying to think how old he got to. I’m pretty sure Izzy had a good few years on him.

    As I just comments on your “Gone” post from a couple weeks ago, I’m so sorry to hear. May the memories of your beloved feline last a life time.

    TMF! – Thanks. I just can’t talk about it.

    Selma – We are going to bury her in the back garden where she used to sleep. Currently sorting out a marker of some description. Keeping busy and hoping for a good day weatherwise.

    kapgar – Thank you. I really am so grateful.

    yorksdevil – A statue – that’s an idea. Been trying to think of something nice for the spot. Am so sorry for your lost.

    martymankins – They really will. Thank you.

    Hilly – Thank you. Virtual hugs and real ones are the things that are getting me through the days.

  8. bec says:

    TMF! – Thanks again, but I’m fine.

    I lost a very dear cat about 10 years ago. I still have *the box* on a shelf in my bedroom. I find it comforting and can’t bring myself to do anything else with it. I fully intend, in years to come, to have an entire shelf of boxes.
    *hugs* sweetie :o )

    Avitable – Thank you

    Penelope – I am finding it a little disconcerting at the moment but she will definitely be buried…
