How appropriate (for me, anyway!) that today’s Photo Friday prompt is “Family” – after all, this is my last day of work before a vacation that includes a much-anticipated cross-country visit from my parents and sister! That said, since I just shared my only recent-ish picture of the three of them in my “Eight Photos of Happiness” post a short time ago, I thought I’d head in a different direction for today’s prompt and feature the little family of cats we adopted – beautiful mama Grisabella and her two sweet kittens, Felix and Oscar.
Photo Friday: Family (Felix, Grisabella, Oscar)
This photo is rather bittersweet, as just over a year ago our dear Grisabella became very ill and we had to make the difficult decision to let her go – but I’m glad my memories of her live on through the many (many!) photos I took in the all-too-short time she was with us.
Happy Friday!
Got any exciting plans for the weekend?
Please share!

Have a wonderful vacation, Laurel.
It’s always so hard to let go of our pets since they are such an integral part of our family. A lovely picture of the three of them.

I’ve always adopted cats and dogs that needed homes. It’s heartbreaking when we lose them. I’m already seeing signs that Sam, my beagle mix, is going downhill. xoxox, Brenda

Oh, I’m so sorry to hear that, Brenda. It’s so difficult when that happens. 🙁

A couple of years ago, a co worker had to let her beloved dog go. Months later, she found two short videos on her phone of her playing with her dog that she had forgotten about. She shared them with me. It was so healing. I’m happy you have the pictures, and good memories, of your beloved cat. It does help.
