80 Days of Blogging Challenge, Day 1!

1.Name something you lost or gave away that can never be replaced.

Something that I have lost or gave away that can never be replaced... hm. Well, that's an easy one. My cat Lucky. I "lost" her in September of 2010. She was 17 1/2 years old and my best friend. I still miss her every day and wish she could still be here to do the things we used to do together. Sometimes I find myself forgetting that she is gone and I'll think "oh I should go get Lucky so I can do this with her." and then it hits me she is gone. Or somebody will come through my cash with a toy that she particularly liked and I'm tempted to say "my cat LOVES that toy! I bet yours will too!" instead of "my cat really loved that toy when she was alive." I miss her soo much, but I know she is waiting for me at Rainbow Bridge, and someday I'll be able to hold her again.

To "Luke" (lucky)

I found this when I was going through a bunch of my old school work. I vividly remember drawing this in Grade one. Miss Carson's class. I was sitting in the back of the room, in the corner. This is how big of an impact my baby made on my life, that I would remember doing this simple little drawing. I even remember why I spelled her name wrong. I wanted to make it "different" than just the regular spelling of Lucky. I wanted it to be special, like she was.
