How do you stop your heart breaking?

For the last few weeks I have been watching my beautiful 16 year old Bella cat wasting away and getting more and more frail.

My girl has seen me through some of the toughest times in my life.
She has been by my side when no one else was.
She has been around longer than my husband.

My heart breaks to see her struggle.
It breaks to see her shed weight and look unwell.

She still greets me with a purr and a meow. She still jumps up on the bed or beckons me to pick her up and put her beside me on the bed.

Some people will say........ it is just a cat.
No she is not.
Bella is my fur child, my friend, the most loving girl you could ask for.

I am hoping that this is just a blip in the road and that she will pick up and live a longer healthy life with me.
If her time is up........ then go well my baby......
