My boy Bean ❤️🩹
I said goodbye to my sweet boy Bean two weeks ago on May 16th. He meant so much to me and I miss him more than words can fully describe. He’d been my best friend for 13 years almost to the day and was the most loyal and affectionate cat I’d ever met. Bean came into my life unexpectedly when I was 22 years old and has been through so much with me since. From university graduation to me starting my first big girl job, to then getting married and having a human baby (his brother), Bean was always a comforting constant. He loved his little brother who is only 16 months old and I am so sad they couldn’t make more memories together. Bean was diagnosed with cancer after a vet visit in mid April for a distended tummy. Although his diagnosis felt cruel and unfair, I am thankful that I was able to spend a month spoiling him and keeping him as comfortable as possible. I was also fortunate to have an at-home euthanasia appointment so my little baby could go peacefully in my arms without any added stress or suffering. Now that he’s gone, I feel an emptiness in my heart, like a piece of me is missing. I find myself looking for him all the time, not just physically but for signs he’s still with me. I read some of the stories about the sicknesses and passing away of other’s soul kitties in this sub and I feel every single word. They are not just *like* family, they are our family and they mean so much to us in so many ways. Saying goodbye is one of the hardest things we ever have to do 😪❤️🩹
I miss you my sweet cat-son, Beanie Angel. I’ll be seeing you in every lovely summer’s day…
