Willie, Willie, Willie....


...our beloved cat.



Jed & I adopted this adorable himalayan cat from Mom, before we were even married, and we both grew quite attached to him. He always insisted on cuddling up on my head each night, making Jed a bit jealous......but once babies started coming, Willie counted on Jed for his much deserved attention! The kids all loved him too, especially Anna, and he would always put up with so much from them....then run and hide under a bed for a break. Unfortunately, we found out in Sept. that he had some bad tumors growing. He did well for a while, but on Jan. 2nd the dreaded day had come...we had to put Willie to sleep. It was a sad, sad day for all of us.....it was especially heart-breaking to see the kids so upset. But long after the kids were over their sadness, Jed and I still found ourselves sobbing like babies.

We miss you, Willie!!!!!

What a great collage of Willie. I would have been balling putting that together. Heck, I was balling reading it. He sure will be missed!! We love you Willie, Willie, Willie.
