Goodbye Jessi

 Today we said goodbye to our Jessi kitty. In 2009, I walked into the animal shelter looking for a female cat. I was a bit overwhelmed by how many were there. We had already picked out Jimmy the boy cat, so I asked them which was their favorite female cat. They handed me a little black cat who was about a year old. Instantly she began licking my face. I knew she was the one to take home. She loved people. She wanted to sit on you or next to you. Would follow you around the yard meowing for pets. She could snooze on the couch for hours at a time, but for some reason always wanted to go outside when it snowed. Jessi was the boys first pet. Jimmy didn't want to have much to do with the boys. Jessi would put up with them playing a bit rough and squeezing her a bit tight so she could get attention and pets. She was Jake's COVID buddy. She sat with him through all of his classes. He even wrote 2 comic books where she was the star. She caused a construction delay on day one of building our house. She saw new people in the yard. And like always, she had to go chase them down to make them say hello. She sat on the board they were trying to cut. She lived a long and full life and we knew the day was coming. This is the reason we wanted to let the boys get kittens. We knew this day was not far off and thought this may make it easier on them. Which it has been. Rest easy now Jessi. You and Jimmy are together again.

This years soccer season is a wrap. Jake's team really improved and learned how to play positions and work as a team.
