Kalvyn was my first adult relationship. He stuck by me through thick and thin-mostly thick. He was so patient with me and my second puberty. His love was never ending. He never met a strange lap. His purr was as loud as his heart was big. So many winter days he would lay on my lap and I would be warmed instantly. Beware in the computer room-he would find you and insist on helping with whatever you may be doing. Read the newspaper-not without his nudge. So many wonderful memories. It was so hard to say goodbye. I miss him so much and I still see him in my periphery and in my dreams. We all miss you. I love you Doodle Boy-Mommy
