I've been missing Violet more lately since her passing over three months ago, I think because the busyness and distractions of summer and a very busy September are done, and my dad has returned home to Utah after being here since mid-July, so my house is quieter and back to normal again. But it's still a new normal for me, without Violet gone and with John now away on his mission. I've been missing my sweet girl a lot lately. While my sister's cat Romeo can't replace Violet, he certainly helps ease the ache and the hole in my life and home that she left behind.
He's a bookish cat; just my type! 😄
He's also a cuddler, but it has to be on his terms. He doesn't let me manhandle him the way I was able to with Brody and Bentwood.
Sometimes when I'm working at my desk, he'll jump up into my lap. Violet used to lie on the floor right next to my chair. I liked being able to reach down and pet her while I worked, and her presence was comforting and peaceful. Romeo has kind of stepped in for that. I'm thankful for the comfort and company he's been providing me with. I continue to feel that I'm being watched out over in ways big and small, and I feel very blessed because of it. 🤍
