This is extremely difficult to do, as well as I’m trying to do it without falling apart, however I can’t assurance that I won’t…
If you’ve been with MBB since the beginning, you understand that one of the cornerstones of the blog is Tabs, our — as well as I mean our as in all of us — our sweet, sassy kitty design extraordinaire.

There’s no simple method to tell you this, however my constant buddy for the last 12 years will soon be leaving this earth.
We got news from the vet last week that Tabs has terminal cancer, as well as that if we’re lucky, he’ll be with us for anywhere from three to six weeks.
Not even that is a guarantee, though. He might be right here for a day, two days… I just don’t know. as well as it’s been difficult to process all of this. On one hand, part of me wishes to say, “You sweet, wonderful cat. You came house to state goodbye to us as well as to let us have more time with you, as well as even as you’re on the kitty runway to heaven, you’re enabling me, El Hub, Connor as well as all of your fans to spend a bit additional time with you, as well as to try to fathom exactly how it’s going to be when you’re gone, just to enable us to like you a bit bit longer.”

I can’t believe that this feline who has taught me so many things about love, as well as the unconditional providing of love, is still mentor me things… exactly how to grieve as well as exactly how to mourn.
The complying with pics were taken today on our morning walk.
I checked out somewhere when that grief is a great deal like standing on the shore of the ocean when the tide is high as well as the waves pummel you over as well as over again. You don’t understand if you’re going to drown, as well as then when the tide goes out, occasionally, it’ll touch you as well as your toes. Then, when it’s truly far out however your feet are still wet, as well as you barely view it?
That’s what I’ve been feeling for the past few days. It alternates between the sense of dread of understanding that the home will be empty without him, however understanding exactly how it’ll feel, if that makes any type of sense…
I’m wondering exactly how our household will be — our household of four — exactly how it will be as a household of three, as well as wondering exactly how can I try to be happy or joyful when I feel this weight on my heart. as well as I feel foolish for not always paying as much interest to him as I should have, particularly over the last few years… I feel foolish when he seems to have a great day, as well as I see sparks of his old tabby self — a bit bit of cattitude, a great deal of love, as well as the part of me that wishes to hope, it says, “Oh, perhaps a miracle will happen. perhaps he’ll get better.” however I understand that’s not possible.
I understand that after he leaves us, that life will go on, however I don’t understand exactly how it’s going to feel.
I question if I’ll ever be as happy as I have been with him in my life. I understand that seems so dramatic, however he’s been my constant buddy daily for more than 12 years.
