Life is precious
In life, you just never know.
When my mother-in-law went into memory care during Fall 2016, we adopted her cat named Emmy. Since we already had an Emmy of our own that was a black cat, our new kitty became Gray Emmy. She was a great addition to the family - very affectionate and quiet. After my mother in law passed on in April 2017, Gray Emmy was a tangible reminder of her legacy to us.
I had no idea when I snapped this photo of Gray Emmy that it would become a very poignant image. Exactly two weeks after this photo was taken, we lost Gray Emmy. After a day of lethargy, we took her to the vet when she was laboring to breathe. Upon examination, they found that Grey Emmy had a massive tumor that was constricting her cardiac function. She passed away not long after she arrived at the vet's office.
It was quite a shock for us. Since my wife's late father picked out Gray Emmy at the shelter, we really are feeling her loss. Animals never lose their innocence, and so their passing hits very hard.
