Many years later she had to go to an assisted living place from May 2000 until May 2007 and Bingo was with her until he died March 2007. Mother passed away May 2007. My brothers and sisters and I were always concerned who would go first – Mother or Bingo – because neither wanted to be without the other. They were so bonded and loved each other so much. Unless you have interacted with such a beautiful creature the way we did in my family with Bingo, it can be difficult for some to understand the love and appreciation of one of God’s gifts to humans. All my family and friends who ever came to Mothers loved Bingo too. He was such a joy! And with the cat whistles he would give when you walked in the room, you knew you looked good to him whether you really did or not.

Thanks for the memories you brought back to me today.

Happy Thanksgiving
Beverly
