BASIL.

His litter box has been taken to the basement.

His food and water bowls are back in the cupboard.

The unopened tins of his food have been donated to the Humane Society.

His meds, and there were many of them, were properly disposed of.

All that remains is his aura which exists in every nook and cranny of this house.

And in every single pore of our beings.

He gave us untold amounts of joy, laughter and love.

He left us with wonderful memories and seemingly endless tears.

He was loved.  So very loved.  And, his death is so very hard on us.

Oh, we say: “If only we could…..”.

But, of course, we know we can’t.
