Bing

24 August 2021: Said goodbye to Bing today. In the end, it was very peaceful. Kind of marveling at the timing--a day with no classes and no meetings. But then again, this cat did grow up in academia, so maybe this was his final gift to me. It is impossible to feel slighted after having him in my life for 19.5 years. Rather, I am profoundly grateful that all but one of those days were good ones for him. But I will miss him so much. He was a very good boy. That's all I can muster right now.
