another piece of my heart is gone
It's with a heavy heart I tell you that our sweet Stella quietly passed away last night.
She came to live with us in the summer of 2007.
She staggered onto a job site our son Lance was working at, starving,dehydrated, flea bitten and very pregnant.
According to Lance, she literally fell down in front of him.
When he offered her water she drank an entire bottle.
He brought her back to the farm and we slowly nursed her back to health. She was suffering from extreme malnutrition and as a result, lost the kittens, but with love, a lot of food and a safe place to live, she bloomed into a lovely girl..
She was always quiet and unassuming, but had a very charming personality,especially when the other cats weren't around.
I always felt a bit bad about that....she would have been a great "only" cat.
She was always "low man on the totem pole" in the pecking order around here.
But we always did our best to protect her and make sure she was okay.
We figure she was about 16 yrs. old.
Rest in peace my sweet girl.
I'll miss your face peering out at me from the dry sink, or seeing you sprawled out on the dining room windowsill in the sunshine.
You're forever in my heart.
