People? Yeah, that's a fact. No bonus points, though; all you have to do is watch the evening news. But, I digress.
The Facebook Memories hit me like a big kick in the guts this morning: it was 2 years ago today that we said good-bye to the best "good boy." Rufus was a truly unique feline... and we've had some pretty great felines.
I knew this would be coming up; I guess I just wasn't expecting it to be so soon...
I could go on and on, talking about the many wonderful attributes of this big furry boy, but I will just say: I miss the light that this boy spread. People who weren't "cat people" would come up to meet him while we were out walking. He never had a bad day, even at the end.
And, the end came too soon. We only had 5 years with Rufus, but they were joyous years, and he left us with so many great memories. I miss this boy every day; there are reminders of him in our home. The memories make us smile. But, this day, my heart hurts.
You were a very good boy, Rufus.

Big feline dittos. RIP, Rufus. We first met him shortly after you adopted him when he was still skinny from his previous life. We were visiting Alice's parents, also now both departed.
I remember the visit, Earl. Rufus liked everybody and always thought anyone who came around was there to see him. Which was often the case.
