Our young man Will passed on yesterday at almost 16 years old.
The Husband and Lester found this little 2-lb kitten out under one of the apple trees back in 2008, a whole year before we started building the house. I was vacuuming and cleaning up the Dump when they showed up at the door with a bag full of apples and a tiny hungry kitty.
As we were ready to get back on the road to New Jersey, we didn't really have anything to feed him, so I gave him a piece of leftover chicken from the cooler. He thanked me by biting my finger.
Will travelled from NY to NJ and back to NY again when we moved in 2010. He was a companion to Lester, Dave, Sophie, Woody, Monkey and Cyrus—in that order—I think.
Monkey and Will spent the most time together and were probably bonded the most, although Monkey had to divide his time between Will and his buddy Woody.
The Monkey is missing both of his boys almost as much as we are.
