52 Snapshots of Life Photo Challenge: Week 26 – Father

This has been a sad week for me. On our way home from England, for my husband’s son’s wedding, we got news upon landing that my sweet 14-year-old kitty, Isabel, was gravely ill. It was sudden; she’d been fine the day before, when I spoke with the pet sitter. That morning, after we’d already taken off, she’d taken ill, was rushed to the vet and was in critical condition by the time I landed. Granted, she was a senior and did have intestinal lymphoma, which was being managed well for the last year and a half by an experimental drug called LTCI. But, the whirlwind of events upon learning the news to when we had to let her go was so quick, I had no time to emotionally process it. So, for this week’s 52 Snapshots of Life Photo Challenge, the theme is Father, but I’d like to celebrate Isabel. She was a beautiful, sweet and gentle soul. As of Wednesday, June 24th at 7:30pm, she joined the angels flying free in the universe.

About a year or so ago, my friend and uber photographer, April Anderson of ImagineEye, did a photo session for me with the babies. Here are a couple of pics of Isabel I love, from that shoot.
