Hi Indy,

Your story of Sophie touched me deeply. There will always be saddness when our beloved fur babies go.

She came into your life for obvious reasons, to give you company, to chase away the lonliness, to love you unconditionally, to give you happiness. She did this for 14 wonderful years and in return you gave her a wonderful warm and loving home.

14 years is a respectable long life for a kitty. She did quite well. Life is strange sometimes. You didn't go on your ride and instead spent the time with Sophie. The final days and hours. You returned her kindness and love for all these years by being next to her and she left earth knowing that you were at her side for eternity. She will always have that memory. And you were able to say your final good bye. You did the right thing.

peace be with you and Sophie,

Sincerely,
smilingcat
