Whole family had a drink to mourn our cat.
Told my son off for taking a sip before clinking the glasses.
Boy gonna learn today.
This is just. May her memory be a blessing ๐ฅ
Wife and I come from cultures where death and funerals are the most depressing things ever.
We're trying to change that.
Kids have divided her toys between them and will make ornaments from them.
youse guys are awesome ๐ฅฒ
I will learn from this
that's very good of you to honor your cat ๐

My parents taught me that pets are family, not animals.
Passing that sentiment along to my kids.
We had a good dinner banter session about the cat. Made inside jokes and had some reflection (not intentional, just flowed).
Everyone is in good grieving spirits.
