I miss my bitchy annoying one-eyed cat.
A year has gone by since Aretha checked out. I still can’t believe it’s been a year already. It still amazes me how much she comes up in conversation regarding Andiamo. Past crew and guests still love to rehash their favorite Aretha stories when we talk. I find myself always bringing up a funny anecdote about Aretha with our new passengers and guests. It’s never forced, it just comes naturally.
I also find it crazy that I miss her as much as I do. She’s a cat for cryin’ out loud. But for so long she was part of the boat’s “atmosphere” that I still find it hard to imagine she’s not around anymore.
