Friday, Feb 13th – Let’s Say Lucky

15 years. That’s how old Mac was when he died last Friday.

Bad luck on Friday the 13th? No, all that knew him know that he went to heaven; this was his lucky day.

He lived a happy life. Loyal and loving. Tolerant and tough. Smiley and snuggly.

He was my cat; my dog with 9 lives.
He was my baby; from infant to elderly, my kid.
He was my friend; my companion through the best and the worst.

There’s no one to step on when I turn around, there’s no one wanting to play fetch, there’s no one using the water bowl on my bed. There’s no one to clean-up the spills from the table, there’s no one wagging his tail when I come home, there’s no one sleeping under my covers.

Being human, it’s hard to say goodbye, but it was his time. It was peaceful. He was and is lucky.
