In Memoriam – Charlie, Nominee for Best Cat Ever

Today has been among the hardest of my life.

Charlie moved in with me in January of 2001. He was about 2 years old. Fifteen years later – today – I had to lay him to rest.

Made himself right at home.

The wings Charlie got when he flew from Kansas to Florida to live with me. I hope they fly him to a wonderful place now.
