As some of you may know, when X and I started dating, I got a cat. I named him Guido and he kept me company as X ignored me and ran around cheating on me. He also stayed with me while I labored in my room by myself before having Jillian. He let me pet him and didn't freak out as the contractions came. He was a good friend.
Guido died yesterday in his sleep. No one knows what happened. I am saddened by this, obviously, but also because I lost Guido in the divorce so I haven't seen him much over the past two years. He lived with X and because I could not stand being near X, I never saw Guido. When I went to X's house to get J or drop her off, I never stayed long enough to spend some time with Guido because of the awfulness of being around X. So I didn't get to say goodbye to my buddy.
So tonight, raise your glasses to my good buddy Guido. Even if you are that person who hates cats.

oh no!!! I'm that person who hates cats, most of them anyway, but I'm still sorry about this. :(( Guido looks like a pretty cool guy.
I'm so sorry to hear that the world is minus one cool cat. Farewell, sweet Guido.
