Bringing Up-to-Date Part 2

A few weeks after Asa’s passing I received an email from Jonathan Rosenberg, Founder and Executive Director of Tabby’s Place (www.tabbysplace.org). He told me that he and his staff had placed a brick in your honor in their Memorial Path, and went on to say, “Asa’s brick is near the entrance of the walkway and is the only engraved brick in Section 10 (closest to the entrance). It’s nice to think Asa sitting watch (literally) “behind the cats” at Tabby’s Place.”

The walkway leads to Cherney’s Garden, which was developed to commemorate a cat who expired of cancer.

I have placed a photo of the brick in Asa’s online Memorial Guest Book.  As background: I first became aware of Tabby’s Place from some longtime forum members at my About.com site. Jonathan put a ton of his own funds into developing what is the nicest sanctuary for cats in the country, in honor of his beloved Tabby, who passed on many years ago. I have supported Tabby’s place financially over the years in the form of sponsorship of their special needs cats,  and requested donations to that sanctuary in Asa’s obituary.

Today marks four months since my sweetheart left my life in the physical sense. Of course, he also holds a place in my heart. But life and the living must go on as is the way of the Universe.  I am very fortunate to have a loving family and a huge support group of folks I may never meet IRL, as we say.

Although I could be considered by some as “old as dirt” as we also say, I am still evolving. I feel like one of the many water globes I’ve received recently on Facebook. Someday soon, the bubbles will settle and a new me will emerge.  This blog will also evolve. Although I’ll still post about Cats and Llamas, the “Stuff” will assume a new focus.
