I had him 18 1/2 years and was never sick a day in his life. I am single so he was my main source of love and affection even over the women I've had in my life. I have had several close family members die including my father. While I'm not comparing a human to an animal, I could never have imagined how much grief I had over losing Simon. I was hysterical saying good-bye to him. He was the most sweet, gentle cat I have ever scene. As painful as it has been, there is a certain peace I have because I know he is not far from me. I ended up at this site by googling "I miss Simon"...I hope this gives you comfort in that there are no coincidences and to know that your Simon is closer to you than you think...God Bless all our beautiful cat here and gone...<br />Mickynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18741888.post-5268680816066733982012-02-09T07:45:44.290-05:002012-02-09T07:45:44.290-05:00Thank you Lorraine, we still have 5 remaining but ...Thank you Lorraine, we still have 5 remaining but it is amazing how quiet it seems without Simon.vivienne strausshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07950873670326776362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18741888.post-42806223000525297022012-02-04T16:39:26.679-05:002012-02-04T16:39:26.679-05:00Do you still have a cat ? or was Simon the last of...Do you still have a cat ? or was Simon the last of your cats?<br />Animals are certainly brave!<br /><br />LorraineLorraine Young Potteryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13164878635292287338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18741888.post-80171658813572375112012-01-27T09:37:25.071-05:002012-01-27T09:37:25.071-05:00Thank you all for your heartfelt comments, they a...Thank you all for your heartfelt comments, they are truly appreciated.vivienne strausshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07950873670326776362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18741888.post-6117262361120578812012-01-25T20:58:52.445-05:002012-01-25T20:58:52.445-05:00It's clear just how much you loved Simon.

Vivienne was so kind to him and took care of him and anything he needed she was there for him. The last two years of his life he would sleep in her arms. He was a really great friend to us.matte stephenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18376673706558498066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18741888.post-91135138899400146192012-01-22T15:41:07.533-05:002012-01-22T15:41:07.533-05:00Vivienne, My heart goes out to you and Matte.

They are family members that truly become such a big part of our lives and what you said it true, that you realize it even more in their absence. Take care.
