Just a few months after saying goodbye to my childhood dog Bella, we had to say goodbye to my family’s cat Hazel today. My parents and I adopted her and Poppy (her sister) as kittens when I was in high school, and she quickly became bonded to me, always looking to sit in my lap or lay on top of me.

A photo of my brown tabby cat Hazel laying in a sunny cozy pile of white sheets and a pink duvet cover. She has light green eyes and has a relaxed expression.

living above a family-owned mexican restaurant is both a blessing and a curse. blessing because their food is incredible and it’s right downstairs, curse because, well, it’s right downstairs and smells amazing when I should be cooking my own food 😭
