My first "Baby"

Before this pregnancy, before even meeting my partner, I had a baby. A cat "baby".

Today, I had to say goodbye. Not because I wanted to, but beacuse I had to. My room in my small boarding house is too small, my partner is allergic to cats, and I'm too broke as my money focused on my necessities in my preparation to become a young mother.

Goodbyes can hurt, sacrifices can feel unfair. But I recognized I can no longer take care of him. Re-homing him to a family that will love him, is my way of showing him my last act of love. Where he'll never fight cats and get hurt, never be hungry, and never sleep in a messy small room.

See you next time, baby Chester
