He was such an adorable boy. You can tell from the pictures that he had loads of personality.

Tolly left me, one year ago today. A year ago, I was in so much pain and shock, how I longed for a year to have passed, so the pain would be eased.
Well, that year passed. The pain is....easier, I guess. I miss him so, and just still sometimes cannot believe he's really gone. He stays close, in spirit, most of the time. I actually make it a day or two at a time without weeping, but most days I do still cry a little. I love you, my Tolly Sweet Pea.

Thank you Lauren.OH

Thanks you guys. I was very fortunate to have Tolly in my life for those 12 short years. Even with all the worry over him, I don't think I ever breathed an easy breath after his seizures started, I wouldn't trade a day of it. It was a wonderful journey, always an adventure, full of joy and love and laughter, and learning. He was so special, My Nurse Tolly, always fussing over anyone sick, be it me or one of the other cats, Tolly LOVED other cats, all other cats. I remember when Ootay got so old and frail, when she was very poorly Tolly would barely leave her side. I always knew when Ootay was feeling better, because Tolly would stop clinging to her so closely.
He never got to be old but.....he never had to suffer any of the illnesses and aches and pains that come with age either. That seems....right...really, since his whole life was a very big challenge. He took so many pills every single day for his entire life, and never complained or fussed or fought me. He had the painful FORL. He had to go the the vet so often, not just his own vet, but those long long drives to Cornell. He was always so sweet and accepting. I never heard him hiss, ever, in his whole life.
And...at the end..he was so so so glad to be going. He was so grateful to me, for releasing him to join his Beloved Bibbs and Beloved Ootay.
I should be celebrating his life, not grieving my loss, and I do.....I do celebrate his Gotcha Day still, even though he's not here in body, his spirit will never leave me.
I think about you every day, my dear own special Tolly Sweet Pea
Tolly in heaven with Bibbs and Ootay. (and all the other cats there, I KNOW he is in true heaven with so many other cats!)

This morning I caught Jennie enjoying the morning Sun Beam that hits the bed this time of year, and of course it made me think of my Tolly
and how much he loved that spring time morning Sun Beam.[VIDEO][/VIDEO]
Just for fun, here's Jennie this morning (click on pic to enlarge)

There are probably always going to be little things that remind us of our fur babies who have crossed the bridge. I hope Tolly has constant morning sunbeams where he is now.
Yes, I pray they all have everything they loved. The only thing they are waiting for is us. Bless all of you people for caring and loving so much. Our little angels are at peace now and all in their little spots of sun!
