In loving memory

My cat has been put to sleep due to a large tumor in his stomach.  We've had him for about 7 years.  I'll be missing him, but at least I won't have to worry about his white hair getting on my clothes.  There are still several strands of his hair all over some of my shirts and jackets.  As I peel one off and shake it off my hand, it orbits around me before latching back onto me.
I'm glad that he passed early on during my semester abroad; it'd be considerably worse if this happened right before I returned in January.
