In memory of Charles - Wordless Wednesday

Charles was my beautiful, loud, loving, one-of-a-kind, unforgettable Siamese cat. He had the most gregarious, out-there, demanding and hilarious personality you can imagine. Everyone who met him adored him. Everyone. Even cat-haters.

I was lucky enough to have him with me for 17 1/2 years. He was my first baby, my companion, my friend.

Part of my heart.

Part of our family.

June 2004. Watching over Katherine a few days after she arrived.

Katherine to me when she heard Charles was gone: Mommy, it's okay because now his body isn't hurting him anymore and he's with his brother. Charles will live in out hearts forever.
