We scattered Emma’s ashes today.
Today was the fourth anniversary of the day we met Emma, in the Humane Society of Yuma cat adoption wing. It was our first volunteer shift after Christmas 2016. Emma had come into the Humane Society as an “owner give up” on Christmas Eve.
That year we went to Palm Springs to celebrate New Year’s Eve, attending a New Year’s Eve buffet dinner and concert party at a casino with live music by Huey Lewis & The News. We discussed Emma while on that trip and decided that upon our return to Yuma we would offer to the Humane Society that we provide “foster” (temporary) care to Emma in our home. I believed that we would be providing her with palliative/hospice care, as her health at that time was so poor … and getting worse … that it seemed likely that she would soon die.
After our early walk and before having lunch today we scattered her ashes from the deck off our living room, standing on the corner of the deck where Emma loved to sit, watching the world go by. We scattered her ashes onto our vegetable garden, and strawberry garden, and the sloped rock garden that is our “front yard”. We have no snow yet, which facilitated the process.
Farewell, Emma. We loved you dearly !
