Morgan left us today. For those that don't know, the last four months we have worked with the vets to extend the quality of her life. We knew it was borrowed time, but I couldn't say goodbye. After 14 years, nearly 15, she grew up with me. She was a part of my entire adult life. Many people helped, commissioners, friends, we did everything to get her the best vet care money could buy and it worked. She lived and lived well, she was happy, she was playful, she slept beside me each night and I savored every day that she was here with our little family. It meant everything that she was still here, that she was going to be with us.

Today my lady noticed that she hadn't come for her wet food and found her curled up in her bed as if she were fast asleep. She wasn't. Morgan passed away quietly. At home. In her bed. In her sleep. She passed away in the best way a cat can, after spending a morning curled up against me and loving me. After 14 years of being together, we parted ways with one last long goodbye that lasted many months. Good night, Morgan, thank you for a lifetime of happiness together.
