I'm super sad to announce the passing of Shaun's kitty, Bastian.
Bastian was a stray that ended up at Shaun's house many years ago. Of course, my sweet husbang took him in. In Bastian's eyes, Shaun could do no wrong. Bastian always wanted to be held - but only by Shaun; he would come and stand on his back feet and stretch up tall to ask to be held. It was so precious to watch.
Shaun held him until he passed. I got a video call of a stunned faced-Shaun, still holding Bastian like a baby. He broke down crying while trying to let me know what had happened. He thinks it was a stroke of some sort or acute kidney failure or something. I will spare you all the details.
I'm really sad. Bastian has been a part of my life for as long as he was part of Shaun's - though he made it clear who he preferred. The bond between those two was special and wonderful to see. My heart breaks at the loss of our boy and also for Shaun; I'm stuck here in Cincinnati and am not home to comfort him. Neither of us saw this coming and there was no way for me to be there. I feel lost and sad, and I'd really like to go home.
