Some of you may have been wondering where Iâd been recently as I pretty much took an extended leave of absence from the cattery.
Back in October we received the devastating news that my dadâs cancer was back and this time there was nothing they could do to help him.
I really struggled with it, some days I could barely drag myself out of bed other days I just couldnât put a brave face on for people.
I was already grieving for a future that didnât have my father in it.
Sadly on Friday my dad passed away, at home and peacefully.
I know many of you knew him and thought highly of him. He always had a smile on his face and liked a natter.
I would like to thank my amazing staff Kim, Bob, Nia, and Harri for helping me out so much and just getting on with things without me having to worry.
Special thanks go to my husband Chris for the constant support and providing his shoulder for a good cry on, and my fantastic right-hand woman Amy who has gone above and beyond for me and without whom I wouldnât have been able to spend these last few months with my dad. I could relax knowing all the cats and customers were in safe hands.
I may be away for a little while longer as I come to terms with things, but I hope to see you all soon.
I do wish all my fantastic customers, old and new, a Merry Christmas. Love to you all, Kelli x
