[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 621842, member: 13542"] Thanks JKF and SS. Man, no matter how old your kids get when you hear them in that kind of place, that deep, deep hurt, it does something to your heart that is indescribable. Well SS, I think my daughter and this roommate have "issues" which I don't know anything about. I presume that note was some cruel payback for some real or imagined wrong he feels was done to him, I really don't know. My SO immediately texted the roommate and we found out the cat is at a local vet. I called and they were very kind and told me she passed away there, they actually didn't put her down. I can have her cremated or pick her up tomorrow and bury her. I'll wait to find out what my daughter wants to do and I'll handle that for her. I don't mind that, her cat has been a distant relative of mine as well, so I feel I want to make sure she has a decent closure to her life. I was thinking about this and this cat is the last living thing left from my daughter's former life with her husband. In fact, I think the cat is the last 'anything' leftover from that time in her life. I think for that reason alone, the cat had extraordinary significance to my daughter.........this cat has been by her side for 20 years, through thick and thin...........it's been a rough journey for my daughter and the cat has been the one constant. My daughter is a bit of a hoarder and has enormous difficulty letting go of anything.......she has so much stuff it's remarkable and she continues adding to it all the time. Once her husband died, she just couldn't release anything, including the real grief she felt, it's been covered in anger and bitterness since then. The shock of that phone call from her has dissipated a little, it was so hard to listen to her cry like that and not be able to physically comfort her. If you all could continue sending good thoughts and prayers to us, I would so appreciate it. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
