Volume 24: Remembering Wootie

Hello fellow Accomplice!

Remembering Hawthorne (June 2001-March 19, 2019) is what this time is for, is what this newsletter is for. The dear Wootie passed away at home this week, and the days are filled with such sadness, but such joy also! He was such a sweetheart, it’s impossible not to gather all the memories left behind, gather them smiling the whole time.

Please check out his, the latest, entry in our Animal Accomplice page to get a gander at how this boy lived his almost 18 years with our family. Yeh, yeh, yeh—I couldn’t pick just one photo, so there’s a spectacular slide show honoring him.

And check out the following audiobooks as they are special to the memory of The Woo. They all celebrate the wonderful relationships we have with our animals.

Be by my side, Wootie, and I’ll see you real soon!

So here we are, ending with the beginning (and wasn’t Wootie an adorable kitten, all sickly and in need of a home?). I guess this is how Life is, how it should be.

Thank you so much for letting me share a bit of my life with Hawthorne. He was a dear boy and is missed oh so terribly.

Until next time where, barring heartbreaking disasters, we’ll be back to business as usual. And until next time, I do believe Woo will still be with me!

Have a loving week!

Your Accomplice, Gillian
