Goodbye Simon


On Sunday night around 6:15, our little gray cat, Simon, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. Our hearts are broken and we feel very helpless as we don't know why you were taken from us, but we know that this is a part of life; just not one we expected or were emotionally ready to deal with quite so soon. So, after nearly seven wonderful years we bid Simon farewell. We love you and think of you often and our house won't ever be the same now that you're gone.
We'll miss you waking us up in the morning by ramming yourself into our bedroom door because you wish to be fed. We'll miss you following us into the bathroom just because you wanted to be around us and saw the perfect opportunity for some lap time. We'll miss your attempts at cuddling up next to Jackie because you knew how precious he is to us and wanted to know him, too. Mostly, though, we'll miss your playful, loving spirit that has kept us so warm and happy for all this time.
Goodbye, Simon.
