In memory of Eddie

Rest peacefully Eddie, my beautiful boy. I brought Eddie home from Crawley, Reigate & District Cats Protection 9 years ago, with his brother Billy. Older boys who had been overlooked for a while but who filled my heart and my home with so much love! I never thought they'd be with me this long but I'm so glad they were and that they both lived to the ripe old age of 17.5 years old. It's only been 4 months since I lost Billy and now I've lost Eddie too. I'm devastated. My beautiful boys are gone and the house feels so empty without them. Eddie was such an angel. He came to me scared of everything but we quickly bonded and he found safety and comfort here and came out of his anxious shell. I'll miss his little quirks, shouting at me to come and cuddle on the sofa, or stealing my spot the second I got up! Sunbathing on the top of the shed or following the sun around the lounge. The way he looked like a little bouncer in his tux. Or those big eyes always looking at us with curiosity and love. These boys showed me that no matter your past, you still deserve and are capable of love, maybe even more so. Love you forever Eddie ❤️
