I haven’t told a lot of ppl yet, but Kranberry Deborah Faison the Kat earned her wings Monday May 15th 2023
After a few months of ups and downs with diet changes and medication, my very impatient girl decided to barrel through her remaining 4 lives in 4 days. At only 6 years old, she was too young and too tired to put up with a lifetime of kidney issues, stomach troubles, finger feeding baby ham and medicines and needles. She told me she was ready and I listened.
My whole emotional well-being is intricately tied to her, and hers to me. She was my emotional support cat, my closest friend, the only one who saw my literal darkest and lowest moments. She’s the reason I’m alive and here today. I feel like a part of my body is missing, part of my mind and soul is gone. Some people will say ”it’s just a cat”, but I saw her life as no less valuable than my own.
My only solace right now is holding on to her last interaction with me. As I held her in my arms while the vet delivered the final injection, she opened her eyes and looked right at me. She transitioned while looking me right in my eyes. She told me she was ok and finally at peace, and that’s all I wanted for her. When animals and loved ones r sick, there comes a point where keeping them on this Earth to try and fix them is selfish. Not in a mean way. We hold on cuz we love them. But we have to let go and listen to them when they say “I’m tired. I’ve fought enough.”
Idk what I need or what more to say other than im not looking forward to adjusting to life without her physical presence. Still haven’t slept in my room, had my first full meal in 2 weeks last night, I still expect to see her walk up to me when I pull up to my house, I still ask her ”where did u put my ____ Kran?” when I lose my glasses or keys or the remote. But I know I will get through. I’m trying to hold on to the positive memories and the good times and truly see this as a celebration of her life. Thank u all for the love and support during this time. I feel blessed and loved
You will always be “Daddy’s pretty kitty” Kran. Have fun with Duke in heaven until we meet again one day bby girl 🙏🏾💙
I will be revamping her namesake business “Kran’sFarm” in the coming weeks. All for her. She would want to see me succeed. So I will
