That made me cry.
I've only ever had one cat, but she was more a cat my mom found and let hang around outside our house. But this story hit me in a different way. I accidentally ran over a cat. It was the worst feeling in the world and having been on the other side of the situation I want to say I'm sorry for what happened. I know I wasn't the driver in this situation but hearing that someone's fluffy friend has been hit by a car brings me back to that country road.
But planting a tree along with Monroe sounds like a beautiful burial. I know, having to bury a pet at all is hard but at least now you'll have a reminder about Monroe and Elle.
