Two Years

Today marks the two year anniversary of the passing of my sweet kitty Tiger. She was the world to me and her passing was one of the hardest things I had to go through. I have already talked about this on the blog so I won't do so again but I wanted to share something that always makes me think of her:

About a year ago I was having a pretty hard day and I was in the middle of cleaning the house, more specifically I was cleaning the bathroom where you litter box used to be (I know real sweet) anyway I just started missing her and all the comfort that she brought to me when I was feeling sad, when all of a sudden this James Taylor song come on my ipod and I had to just sit and listen and cry. Now whenever it plays I think of her or whenever I am having a hard day I can play it and it is like she is right there with me.

So here are the lyrics to the James Taylor song in honor of the best feline friend a person could have:

You've Got A Friend lyrics

When your down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, whoa nothing is going right.
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest nights.
You just call out my name,
And you know where ever I am
I'll come running, oh yeah baby
To see you again.

Winter, spring , summer, or fall,
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You've got a freind.

If the sky above you
should turn dark and full of clouds
and that old north wind should begin to blow
Keep your head together and call my name out loud
And soon I will be knocking upon your door.
You just call out my name and you know where ever I am
I'll come running to see you again.

Winter, Spring, summer or fall
All you got to do is call
And I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hey, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend?
People can be so cold.
They'll hurt you and desert you.
Well they'll take your soul if you let them.
Oh yeah, but don't you let them.
You just call out my name and you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again.
Oh babe, don't you know that,

Winter Spring summer or fall,
Hey now, all you've got to do is call.
Lord, I'll be there, yes I will.
You've got a friend.
You've got a friend.
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend.
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend.
You've got a friend.

I miss you Tig.

Update

I know I haven't posted anything in a long time but Mason broke my camera so I have been waiting until I had some more pictures to post but it doesn't look like it is happening anytime soon so I just wanted to take a short minute and do a recap of what has happen to us the past few months.

The move into my sisters house went very well and the boys got along really well, although Mason was the mastermind in getting both of them in trouble a lot of the time. I was also very blessed in landing a job within the first three weeks after the move. Not only is it a salaried position, it came with 4 weeks paid vacation which will really come in handy when Mason has his surgeries in a few years.

And the big news is that I found my own apartment in Greenwich. It is a one bedroom but I think it is a perfect size for just Mason and I. Also we are right across the street from a park so we go over there almost every day after dinner and on the weekends.

Last weekend I went to IKEA and finally got a futon for me and a bed for Mason. It is so nice to finally be off the air mattresses but it is a little sad that I am thirty and just got my first futon but you have to start somewhere, and it may come in handy down the road when I have people come and visit me.

Also my little niece Maeve was born on July 16. She is happy and healthy and the sweetest baby anyone could ask for.

So that is all the big news. Thing have been settling down here nicely, and I feel so grateful the the wonderful opportunity and people that have come into my life the last few months.
