He saved my life.
When I lost my son at birth in 2003, Mikey was just a kitten.
I didnt realize then, the role he would play in my life.
Mikey became my reason for everything, my reason for just getting out of bed.
Losing a baby at birth is devastating and many women face a life of depression after going through something like this but that didnt happen in my own experience because Mikey helped me find my way.
From the first moments arriving home with no baby in my arms and finding Mikey all curled up asleep in my sons bassinet, he was a comfort to me.
Making sure my arms did not stay empty on that first night home and for the next 18 years made a difference, I wasn't alone, he was always by my side.
Mikey was born deaf and I knew it from the time he was born. After my son died, I really spent a huge amount of time researching feline deafness and trying to figure out how I would care for this kitten.
Before I knew it Mikey and I had embarked on our own journey, a journey based on love and friendship.
Mikey died on February 21, 2021, He was 18 years old.
For as long as I am still alive in this place, I will tell his story, it was our story.
He may not have been tall enough for me to lean on but he always held me up.
This is Mikey, he was my best friend…
