Today is the one year anniversary of Indigo’s death.  Time is amazing in regards to the grief process, that is for sure.  I would love it if he were still living here, physically, with us.  He was truly one of the sweetest cats I have ever met, and this is saying a lot.  But I do feel his presence in my life still and appreciate thinking of him on a regular basis.  His death was a real shock last year.  I thought about him all day on Thanksgiving this year too as it was that day last year that we realized he had stopped eating.  We spent the entire holiday weekend making decisions around what to do or not to do for him and watching him die.  It was horribly sad.  This year, it was nice to ‘mark’ it as his holiday and talk about him fondly.
