In memory of M - 10 years later

Nov 26, 2015 is a day I will not forget.

If you've been reading this far, you would have remembered I wrote an entire post about M back in 2015 around this time to commemorate my first cat. 

I just can't believe it's been 10 years already. It almost felt like it was yesterday.

So many things have happened in 10 years, which I wish he was still around to see and celebrate my milestones. It's hard to forget your first pet. 

While I was in the kitchen today, there's that particular spot on the floor that I still remember he would spend his last few hours struggling to breathe, just laying there helpless, with tears in his eyes. And it made me sad. But knowing that his soul is now free and that he's no longer suffering, it helps to put all this anxiety at ease. 

Over the years, I had collected a few charms from Pandora to commemorate him, along with my own family charms. It took a while, but the charm bracelet was finally done, and I do plan to wear it in remembrance of him. 

Now that we have 2 additional cats since 2018, they have definitely occupied time and making new memories. But I'll never forget M. Because of M, I am still able to love those around me.

Thank you M. Thank you for growing up with me, for the great memories, for the love. I hope you are having fun up there with your friends on rainbow bridge.
