I’m with MoMo

In Memory of Morimoto

They say time heals all wounds.
They lied.

Time did not dull the sharp edges
of your farewell.

Love did.

The love of you hiding under the bed
too scared to say hello.

The love of your bravado of being
a tough guy in front of your big brother.

The love of your hearty appetite
and endless cheer.

The love of your silky soft fur
and soulful eyes.

The love of your warm hugs
and purrs.

I saw a flock of birds the other day,
swooping lazily back and forth.

Waving hello
and good-bye.

A Tribute to Morimoto
Mo was only with Emeril and me for a short time. While I hoped to have many years with Mo, our time together was full of love and great memories. In his honor, we celebrated I’m with MoMo week. Please enjoy some of our favorite memories of Mo.

I’ve kept a secret from you. For a short time I was a mommy to two beautiful boys.

Mo loved food. Cat food. Human food. He wasn’t particular. He proved that to me when he ate some butter, wrapper and all.

Mo was a friendly cat, but he lacked in manners at times, particularly when he licked the frosting off the cupcakes I made for a friend.

We love and miss you, Mo. Until we meet again – I’m with MoMo.
