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.

kapgar – Thank you. I really am so grateful.

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.

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