We lost our 19-year-old cat back in 2014 - she was my first cat ever (couldn't have one as a kid) and it just tore us to pieces.
We have friends that adopt another pet almost immediately after losing one, but I had to wait until my heart could separate missing her from missing having a cat. Once that happened and the longing for another got strong enough, we adopted two from the local Humane Society, almost 3 years ago now. They're wonderful and quirky in their own ways, and my love for them doesn't diminish my "first love" at all.
I still cry when I see pictures of her, though. I think that's permanent, since I cry at the drop of a hat. Me and John Boehner.
