part of me feels like i wrote this post already… then i realize i am just remembering last years. Then as i go through photos in iphoto… looking for one for this post, it really hits home how long watcher has been gone, and how much i have expierenced and how much has changed.
you see.. there was a time when everything that happened in my life he was there. I got in a fight with my parents, he was there…. i was going to “run away from home” he was bundled up in my jacket with me… trekking through the woods…. camping during the summers, he was there on a kitty harness…. i first good cry over a boy… yep he was there… each and every semester i came home from college… he anxiously awaited my return… all the places i had moved… all the major relationships i had been in… you guessed it, he had to step aside and “share” me…..
so it is still foreign to think of all the things i have experienced without him…. this year a lone has been a BIG year of changes…..
i just hope he realizes how much i miss him, and the friendship we had 🙂 xoxo
everytime you write about watcher, i cry.
i cry even more now that i can really relate, since ollie’s passing. i still can’t believe it’s been almost two years.
as i wait to be approved for adoption of my new little ginger boy, i’ve been thinking of ollie more than ever. how lucky will i be if i get to spend another 16 years with a new feline friend – one who will see me through so much. maybe marriage. maybe babies. i am looking forward to starting this new chapter, but will never forget the best furry friend a girl could have.
So sweet. They really steal our hearts don’t they? How wonderful that you have so many memories of him.
You were both so lucky to have each other. It’s the memories that help sustain you through difficult times. And know that he’s with you. Always. Remember that!

Awww…hugs to you Jenn.
I know how it feels to lose a pet. It isn’t easy. Have you ever seen the poem: Rainbow Bridge. If not, I can email it to you along with another poem about loss of a cat. I hope your new job in RI is going well and the commute isn’t too bad. If you ever get a chance, how about a class up in Albany, NY. I am sure Melissa Hoopes of Stampassion would be willing to host you even though she doesn’t have a physical store any more. She does use the classroom of a local pottery store for classes. Missing your Amuse classes. Not sure I like their new way of doing things or the selection of stamps. I hope they will still offer the printable calendar.
He knows. Your memories and love in your heart are him reminding you that he remembers. xo
He knows:) xoxo
HUGS, Jenn.
