# Jaxon - A Grief Journal

Five years and eight months old.  
A part of my life from 11-22-2014 to 04-06-2020.

This is my git/markdown grief journal for my cat, my very best friend, Jaxon. It will probably be a lot of rambling, and
I have a feeling many English majors would be deeply offended.

But that's okay, because most of this will probably be typed through tears anyways.

> I am a kitty cat, this is my kitty fat, it goes *pat pat pat*

Jaxon was a ~~world~~ house-renowned drummer.

Maybe a little better of a photo, fairly soon after coming home.

## The End

The very last photo I have of Jaxon before he passed away in April of 2020.
He had become accustomed to sleeping right next to me, with his head on the pillow.

Maybe a better idea of his usual napping method.
