I don't get on this site much anymore... losing Fuzz was unbearable and I still cry over his absence almost every single day.  He loved Christmas and laying under the Christmas tree (climbing and rearranging ornaments/garland in his pre cancer/younger years).  It was a holiday like no other-2020.   I felt the need to reach out to you all and send you belated holiday wishes and to let you all know that I am still so thankful for all of the words and encouragement you shared during my journey with Fuzz that began the summer of 2019. I also wanted to share a couple updates.  A couple weeks after Fuzz passed, I was put in contact with a local woman who rescues and rehabs neonatal and sick/abandoned kittens.  I reached out and was able to provide her with nearly 100 cans of kitten food and nutrient/supplement gels that I had left over from Fuzz. It felt good to provide for other felines in need through the spirit of my Fuzz-Worm!   

My family for the first time in my 45 years did not celebrate a Christmas this year due to the pandemic, nor were any gifts exchanged or purchased.  I did ask my father who is a talented woodworker to make me one gift - a turned wooden urn to hold Fuzz.  As a surprise for both he and I , I  had a pillow made from a photo I sent to a company so that Fuzz will be sitting on the couch with us forever! 

Finally,  It is funny how things work out that then a couple weeks after that I was basically put in a position to rescue a very tiny kitten and when she was handed over was told there was one more living under the house and I agreed that I would take it as soon as it was caught (that took the better part of a week).. so now after 1.5 weeks I have 2 new fluff balls who have adapted very nicely (both checked out pretty healthy at vet) and after week plus of isolation came into main part of house and made themselves right at home by sleeping in/on my bed (partaking in soooooo many toys both new and old) and keeping me on my toes for having 9 week old kittens again!  The spirit of Fuzz will hopefully shine through these little munchkins and it just so happened that when the first came home I stumbled upon 12 other cans of kitten food I had stashed upstairs in Fuzz's last days!  I did have to order a new shipment and Chewy arrived within a few days of the first kitten coming home.    They are grey and white siblings.. smaller of two is female and is first to arrive she was named Smudge (has  a smudge on her nose) and her brother who is long hair and feels like an angora bunny is named Mouse ( he would not come out from under that house!)   Attached are a couple photos including the pillow and urn for Fuzz (will be engraved and have final seal/finish applied) and the new little additions Smudge and Mouse
