As some of you who have read my stories on other sites may know, there is an important character in My Girls Book two named Cire.  He is a cat, a Bengal to be exact.  His character was copied after my cat, also a Bengal.

The real Cire died Monday, 5/12/08.  He was eighteen years old, and had lived a long, happy life.  He finally succumbed to old age and kidney failure.  I knew the end was coming for several months, so I was not surprised.  That doesn't mean it was easy when it occured.

I still am surprised when I come home or get out of bed in the middle of the night and am not greeted by him.  After eighteen years, that is as it should be.   I will get used to it eventually.  He is in a lot less pain; it would be selfish of me to wish he were still here when he was suffering.
