Today, October 14, is the 3rd Anniversary of the passing of our dear sweet Inka. She was the love of my life and Clooney's. Below I decided to share the pictures that show the special bond she and Clooney shared:
The next three pictures are the last and only pictures I had taken of her in the month or so before illness and cancer overtook her. It came on very quickly and unexpectedly as she had hidden it very well until she couldn't.
I think that grief is one of the most personal journeys we experience as feeling beings (animals included). I believe that we don't ever get over loss but rather weave it into the fabric of our being and existence from that moment onward. As Elizabeth Lesser has said, "grief is a demonstration of how deeply we have allowed another to touch us".

ReplyDeleteInka was a beautiful ladycat. We're sending comforting purrs to you as you remember Inka today.
ReplyDeleteThree years already? We remember when you lost sweet Inka like it was yesterday. Sending you purrs and hugs on this day and always, dear friends.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful tribute to your sweet Inka. Thinking of you sweet friend. Hugs and nose kisses from me and mine.
ReplyDeleteSweet girl, we know she feels your love at the bridge, and she's watching over you all.
ReplyDeletePurrs to you on this sad anniversary. My human understands what you said about grief; she still misses the cat before me, even though she has been gone for more than 10 years.
ReplyDeleteHey Cloon,
ReplyDeleteI feel you....my Mama is still counting her days without Tom, he passed on in March this year. You stay strong my friend... purrr...meow!
Aw, she looks like a sweet girl. We're sorry you had to lose her.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful tribute to Inka. We love those photos of her and Clooney. They definitely had a special bond.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful tribute!
ReplyDeleteA lovely and loving tribute. Your thoughts on grief are spot-on. You don't "get over" the losses, you merely adjust to the physical absence and keep plodding on.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it seem that the world should stop, though? I felt that way with both Chum's and especially Annie's passing. I remember thinking about that, that the world just keeps going, even when we "stop" in our hearts and minds.
It's odd how our presence on this planet can be so utterly meaningless and so utterly meaning-full, both at the same time.
Such a loving tribute. Love and hugs from all of us.
ReplyDeletePurrs and prayers to you on your sweet Inka's anniversary of departure. The photos of her and Mr. Clooney are so sweet and special. I can feel the strong bond and trust between them.
ReplyDeleteI love the quote by Elizabeth Lesser. So true. She touched your and Mr. Clooney's heart so deeply. She will be missed and loved forever. Hugs to you.
Each one's passing leaves a big hole in our hearts.
ReplyDeleteLove lasts forever
