Today, I went to MY vet to get Advantage for new kitten. Still had time before I had to be at son's school so headed up to other local vet, that had treated Hubert, who was nice enough to allow me to make payments on my debt, granted the current financial situation. So I wrote them a check. I was told I wouldn't get his ashes back for 4 weeks. Today was 2 weeks. They handed me the ashes. I thought I would be ready, but I was not. At all. I lost it. I must have been quite a sight walking into my son's school for voluntary lunch/recess duty, with my cheek swelled (due to tooth being pulled) and my eyes red and puffy. So Hubert is home. Gosh I miss him. I still listen for his bell to jingle, and miss his incessant purring and licking. Thanks for letting me share -- I just needed to do this.
