Princess Nom Nom died. And it hurts.
-
I have been hiding and not posting like I should, but I am currently battling some health issues. I am also quite broke and sad over the death of my best friend, Princess Nom Nom.
You know for all my 19 to 30, I use cry over and over. I was so lonely. No one got me… and no one seemed to care. One of my biggest wishes was for a best friend. I didn’t know that friend would be a cat… but my goodness was I blessed. We spend many great years together. I am quite sad that it was cancer that took her. Though I am happy she is not in pain anymore.
I don’t really know who I am right now, without her. She was so entwined into my entire being. Whenever I met a hard obstacle {I use to say “Well I have to do this, cause I have a cat.” I am unsure now what the future holds for me. I just hope I can find purpose again. A reason for being.

Goodbye my sweetest, most beautiful, kindest friend I ever had. I loved you. More than I can express in words. You healed me, when I was so alone and afraid in the world. You stayed when others left… You always kept one eye on me no matter what was happening. Even through earthquakes! My goodness you were brave. You got through that broken leg, and you were there when I was in and out of hospital. You were just amazing. Without you I would be dead. You will forever be one of my best friends. Wait for me okay? I don’t know what’s next, but I know you will be there.
I love you, now and forever. I will keep your ashes close, please visit me in my dreams.
Love Matty
Soon I will fade
Just as I came
Then you will see
Just dust remains.You will be sad
Broken and mad
Cry till you sleep
Feel so weak.But time will tick
Healing you a bit
Then you will be
Just like meDust… That remains
-Second Poem.
Sweetest friend
To the end
Please wait for me
I will be there
I love you so
I just can’t go
But very soon
My jouneys through
And you and I
We will find
Each other again
In a different life.

Oh, Matty! I’m so sorry.
Dear Matty,
Sending you lots of love and strength at this very sad time. Princess Nom Nom was an amazing cat, beautiful and kind and thoughtful. She was so well looked after and loved by you and it showed. She was lucky to have you as her very best friend and caregiver too.
Let yourself grieve dear Matty, and remember Nom Nom with love and know you had unconditional love from her – as you gave to her. In time it will get easier. Maybe a long time after you might have room in your heart for another cat. But we all know that you have enormous love and it shone thru Nom Nom.
Take care sweet lady,

*biggest hugs* Cats really need to live twice as long as they can now. I know you’ll find purpose again but it will just take time.
