![Gold Star Critiquer/Gold Star Workshop Editor/Gold Note Writer [C: 435 W: 90 N: 567]](http://i1.treklens.com/misc/g-g-g.gif) (2560) | in memory of Rosy.. a little black cat with a huge heart of gold..
..she was the mother of our 2 other girls Ellie & Babs, and the grandmother of our 2 boys Licorice & Treacle.. who's beautiful mother Polly was lost to us in 1992 and was Rosy's first born kitten..
3 years ago today my wonderful girl who had been a faithful friend and companion since i was 8 years old passed away in my arms after many years of bringing so much joy into the lives of all who knew or met her and truly, along with my other beautiful kitties, saving me on a daily basis when ravaged by illness and heartbreak their sweetness and companionship were the only sparks of joy in my life... that i would literally have been lost to despair without... i could write paragraphs about this and about what a special person Rosy was... like how she would always know when i was crying wherever she was and would come running to be near me and give me kisses and cuddles to dry my tears... but the stories are endless and the space i have to write them is not... but i just want to say that i was truly blessed to know and grow up with her and all her and all my sweet babies... so this post is to remember my golden Rose...
she was truly brave and fearless with the true spirit of a kitten till the end... she had recurring breast cancer tumors removed twice as well as a tumor in her thyroid and she also had to have an eye removed when it was damaged... she was my one eyed pirate queen :-) but when the breast cancer returned once again, at 17 years of age with already so many painful operations we didn't want her to be cut open again... she deserved to spend her remaining time at home with those she loved and loved her so deeply... so when finally the tumors on her little tummy got to a point where they were poisoning her body we called the vet who came to our house to put her to rest... i was so glad it could be done this way... so she could be with me where she felt safe and happy... so i held her in my arms as they gave her an injection and ended her suffering... it was one of the most awful and painful experiences i've ever had but at the same time i was so grateful i could be there with her till the end... i still think of her and all my kitties in england every day and love and miss them so deeply... so this is for them all... i'll never forget my babies...
it's hard to remember all the details of creating this as i was hardly conscious from strong sleeping pills at the time and rather hallucinogenic! i guess the inspiration was stronger than my drousy brain and blurred vision and i did it on auto-pilot.. but if you'd like any more details just ask and i'd be happy to give what i know.. there's no more space here.. i've posted both the original photo and another version i did as workshops.. i really like that version too and might post it individually another time.. but for Rosy it had to be golden ^_^
hugs to all :-)
