Dear Opal, what a beautiful American shorthair girl you are. Your coat with those dilute calico patches looks so soft, and your face with those beautiful eyes is so sweet. Nobody could ever guess your age. Those glasses are very becoming!
I am so very sorry for your mom's loss of her daughter. You were right by her side to comfort her. You are caring, sweet and you have the loudest purr.
Opal, you are such a special girl and a wonderful companion, and I wish you and your mom a great day full of celebration. Enjoy your golden years.
