Goodbye, my dear old friend. For the past 17 years, you greeted me every day when I got home from work with a big meow to say, "Where the hell have you been all day?" You stayed by my side every second whether I was on the porch smoking a joint or sleeping or sitting on the toilet or crying or laughing hysterically. Sometimes all simultaneously. If I could express how much I'll miss you, I would... but it's impossible. The joy you brought into my life is immeasurable, and only people who have loved a cat would understand the loss... the empty space next to me. There will forever be a Russell-shaped hole in my heart.

Russell with me in March, being a cuddle-slut as usual.
