Bye Bye Bubba
Our cat, Bubba, died yesterday evening. My sister-in-law (a vet) thinks he probably had a blood clot because it happened so quickly. From the time I noticed that he was having difficulty, to when Chris came in to be with him, to his death, was less than five minutes. He was chronically ill and had some heart issues, not to mention that he was around 15 years old, so his death was not unexpected. But that doesn’t mean we are any less sad about it.
Delaney was a bit confused yesterday when we explained that Bubba was dead and that we were taking him to the vet (for cremation). She asked for a “new Bubba” and is obsessed with “Daddy pick up Bubba.” She said, “He’s sleeping” and talked a lot about him being in the box. But her preschool teacher said she didn’t bring it up this morning at preschool, so I think as long as we don’t talk much about it to her, she won’t be reminded.
So today we are remembering Bubba and reminding ourselves that he is no longer with us.
