Larissa went over the Rainbow Bridge this past Saturday. The cancer was very aggressive, and she had begun making it clear, we'd chosen the right time.
Despite the pain, and her usual tortitude, she was super affectionate, it was a gift to have her "hugs and kisses". I told her so often that she was my "huggy-kissy" girl in her 11 year life, that it came true (she used to hate to be held, would be sweet but distant and turn into a whirling dervish of a tortie a minute later).
Larissa was my "lumpkin-curl", a silly, saucy bits of a gorgeous seal tortie lynx point with white Curl...last kitten sired by my beloved Christopher
, my youngest Curl, who I thought would be with us for years to come.
We miss you sweetheart, please give special headbumps to your grandmother Merv (you were the only other cat who was as elegant as her), your silly bumble-curl grandpa josh, your dad Chris....and Patrick, Tyler...too many of you are gone. I will see you again, in a blink of your eyes, it will be my time, and I promise many, many kisses, chin skritches, and tummy rubs.
