Gone But Not Forgotten

Six years ago during the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic, I had to put my furbaby, Pookie. Of all the cats I’ve had, he lived the longest by about 15 years.

While I was fortunate enough not to lose any friends or immediate family to Covid, losing a loved one, even a pet, can hurt. At the time, Pookie had been with me more than a third of my life. He was a great cat who would lie next to me when I slept and get up with me when I went to work each morning.

Two years ago, I lost BeeBee (the grey one in the above photo) at this same time so it hits harder when something bad happens on the same date. I only have one inside cat, Skitty, left and she’s 13 and counting.

Hug your furbabies a little closer this evening.

I'm an award winning journalist and photographer who covered dozens of homicides and even interviewed President Jimmy Carter on multiple occasions. A back injury in 2011 and other family medical emergencies sidelined my journalism career. But now, I'm doing my own thing, focusing on movies (one of my favorite topics), current events and politics (another favorite topic) and just anything I feel needs to be posted. Thank you for reading.
