Happy Tiger Lily Day! 😍💔❤️‍🩹

(Tiger Lily) Remembering this little nugget 22 years after the world was first blessed with her presence. 🎉🎁🎂 She joined my herd six weeks (and one day) later, and she started working at Touchstone Gallery about six weeks after her sixth birthday. 🎉🎁🎂 Here are her gallery cat birthday portraits from 18 all the way back to seven. 🎉🎁🎂 I miss her daily! Those were amazing 18-3/4 years; she was such a character! Sweet and sass. 😄 The joy of these memories is worth all the heartache. 💔❤️‍🩹
