Goodbye, my black haired girl
I am the father of boys. Of this, I am quite happy. The only girl I've really had consistently in my life is my wonderful wife, Tracey.
Well, I had another, until today.
On Rosh Hashannah, 1992, Tracey found our little cat Sipsey. She was a black cat, stumpy, loud and a lovings-slut. I loved her. She was sweet, she was demanding, she was playful in her own way and she had almost no grace.
She was a part of our lives from that day in 1992 until today. She had grown sick over the last few days, and today we let her go. It was unfair for her to have to life any longer as she struggled to eat and move. I just didn't want to let her go, but we did. Sadly.
Sipsey was sweet. As sweet as a little girl gets.
I will miss this girl, the only one who has been a constant for me for so many years. We will all miss her in this house.
