With a touch of the Frisk

It's PO'Monday!

Celestial Paddy O'Malley was frisking around in February, 2014.

💔
Lost my Aunt to cancer on Sunday.
She loved cats, and when we talked on the phone, we'd share our adventures in catdom.

When I was a girl, at my great-grandmother's funeral, a person unfamiliar with the family asked my Aunt if I, who stood next to her, was her daughter.

A running joke from then on, she was 'Mom' on cards and letters.

She taught me a few swear words in Polish, and she had a lovely laugh.

Farewell Mom; your time on Earth is done.

  12. I'm saddened by your loss and feel your pain. ~hugs~ My 'mom' is failing; her biological daughter, my best friend since third grade, shared details this afternoon. :( And we all miss your sweet, silly boy. August 5 of 2014 was when our precious cat Luna passed away. Thank you for sharing your photographs and memories of Po'M.

  13. Oh, very sad, very sad indeed about your aunt. And to that blasted cancer. But if she loved cats, then it may be that she and the PO'M are keeping each other company. That would be nice.

    I learned a couple bad words in polish from one of my highschool teachers, who sort of was like a second Father to me..😀
