I do not know who this person was
But
If it is okay I would like to hear some of the good stuff he/she/they did

He's my husband's fursona. My husband passed away on the 20th of February.

And he did the best he could to make me feel better and laugh. I deal with a lot of mental health issues and he made it his mission to ease my suffering.

If I was really messed up, he tried even harder. He won people over with his humor, charm and wit, myself included.

While we chose not to have kids, he loves our 3 cats very much and helped me take care of them.

All he ever wanted was to hang out with me, play video games and listen to music and just enjoy our time together. He was always in a hurry to come back to me from work or errands or anything that took time away from being with me and the cats.

He was so sweet with them. They all loved him very much. He got such pleasure watching them play or playing with them himself.

He was always easy to amuse, even though he also suffered mental health issues as well.

And while I won't go into how he passed on, know he didn't suffer nor was it a suicide or murder. It was however, very sudden and unexpected. He was going to be 37 in May.

Ah.
So he was your bedrock and kind to animals? And he was a trusted and safe person to live with?
Sounds like a good person. Would have liked to have met him.
And he died at the age of 36? Darn, he was only one year older than me.

My grandmother passed away back in 2020. She knew of my furry side, even the 18+ side. She just laughed and said "Boy, this household has seen titties before." She was a big bedrock in my life. I too have mental problems due to prolonged depression and long-term unemployment.

I, uh, don't know if crafts are your strong points, but I try to mantain her memory in some ways. Every time I cook liver, I try and recall her words and expressions because she taught me to enjoy liver foods. Did your husband have a favourite food that he used to make?
Was he good with his hands around workbenches? I believe it's the little things that survive even after us that keep memories alive.

And, uh, sorry for rambling

Its very much ok that you're talking. I don't mind at all. I don't think it's a ramble.

But yeah, that's a good way to put it; my bedrock.

I'm so sorry to hear you lost your grandma. It sounds like you just adored her. And I'm happy she was someone you could share your furry side with. It's always fun to find someone that interested in you.

My husband took a keen interest in my art. I'm the one who draws but... He was an inspiration. We would bounce ideas off each other or he'd have an idea and ask me to make it. When I drew things like this, presents for him, he was always so happy.

He was a pretty creative cook. Not so much into crafting but he was good with computers. He was attracted to me in high school and we bonded over our common interests, like technology. Back then I was more competitive, so if he knew something I didn't or had a smarter idea for a solution to a problem, I'd get jealous. I don't think he ever noticed. I outgrew that mentality of course, and it's kinda funny to me now that I took it so hard back then.

I maintain his memory the best I think with my artwork and in gaming. He was a very big gamer. And I am too. We were extremely similar people.

The pain of loss may be migitated by the knowledge that you knew him, I hope. I wish I could help in these trying times.

It's just good to know you're still around. Thank you.

I am trying to be there to help my friends.

A beautiful piece of art, Catt. I know Flickie would love it. A gift that stands as a memorial of what was and what, in many ways, still is. Would that I could have met him, myself, but I have always enjoyed the bits you've shared with me. May he rest in peace, and may you be reunited again when the time is right. And until then, keep making your beautiful art.

It's all I can do.

Thank you so much.
