Last January 30, 2019 we lost Nori and her struggle with Parkinson's Disease ended. Since then I've sold our house and moved to Virginia to be nearer to Renee and the grandkids.
Perhaps it's fitting that yesterday I found Sassy, our cat, dead. I lie. Sassy was never our cat but really was bonded with Nori. A rescue cat she was at least over 18 years old. Sassy has been seriously unhappy since 2015 when Nori was in hospital and then rehab relearning to walk and missing from home for seven weeks. Then 2016 I had a triple bypass and Nori stayed with Renee while I recouped. Then 2017 we adopted Moppet, small dog to entertain Nori... Sassy was pissed! Then Nori took ill end of November 2018 and never recovered. The final insult was moving us to Virginia in 2019.
It's been a hard year.
Nori, I miss you!
