Hey little guy. I'm sad to report that today was not a happy one. It started off nice enough--we went to the gym/Kids Zone, followed by a little shopping and pizza from Costco for lunch. For a while now, our last cat, Tabitha, has not been doing so well. We were hoping she just had a cold or something, but it wasn't. After finishing our lunch, I went down to check on Tabitha (we had put her in daddy's desk chair in the basement, since that is one of her favorite spots). She wasn't breathing anymore :( I came up and told daddy, which you overheard, and both of you came down to check her, too. We all confirmed that she had indeed passed away. You cried so hard, it was heartbreaking. You picked her up, held her to you like you always do, and hugged her goodbye. You also put her in the box daddy brought down to take her away in. I think you may have handled it better due to having dealt with Phantom passing away back in August. Unlike that time, you chose against going along to see Tabitha off (we had her cremated, like Phantom); you had already hugged her and said goodbye, which I thought was very mature of you to realize.
To help comfort you, I suggested we go to Toys R Us and see if we could find you a stuffed animal cat to remember her by. The only stuffed animal cat you have currently is one that you got Christmas 2016 of Grumpy Cat, so that really wouldn't do. Happily, we found a perfect one--it's black with a white beard/throat and white paws, much like Tabitha. You named her Flower and kept her by you much of the rest of the day :) Love you lots ~mommy
p.s. We got confirmation today that we will be moving to the new house (provided no other snags turn up) on the 30th!!!
