I haven't been here long enough to have known Mimi when she was well, but your small photo of her allowed me to see what a calm beauty she was. It's such a shock when they leave so suddenly and with no sickness-related decline; you want an illness to fight to make you feel that you did everything you possibly could, but in Mimi's case her old age caught up with her very suddenly. You did, of course, do everything you possibly could to give her a wonderful life and that's what you need to focus on, even though all your feelings are focused on loss at this time.

It was great when Jen posted photos of Lucas for those of us who are new, and I hope you will feel like posting some of Mimi in her prime, when you are up to it.
