I'm sorry these sweet brothers are at the RB. When did they go?

It's a long story, one that I'm still embarrassed about. In 1987 my then BF and I broke up after adopting them 2 yrs earlier. Because we were living in his sister's house, I was the one to move out on my own into an apt that did not allow pets. My %^& X-BF promised me he would look after them, after all, they were indoor/outdoor cats and the house and yard were a purrfect spot for them to stay. I did have visiting rights.
Well, a year after the breakup, I heard through one of his relatives that he suddenly gave them away without telling me. Casper went to a home close by and OJ went to a home on Vancouver Island. Casper kept running away and was never found. OJ apparently lived for some years in his new home, then I lost touch with the people because they moved and did not give me their forwarding address. I tried to find them, but eventually gave up.
Because they were born in 1985 I can only assume they are both at the RB now and in my heart I pray they have forgiven me for abandoning them.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!
