Spinning for Fiona
Each year I dedicate my ride to a special animal in my life that motivates me to do this event. This year our family lost our wonderful cat, Fiona. She was quite frankly, the nicest cat we have ever had and absolutely our daughter's best friend.
To say Fiona was an exceptional cat would be an understatement. She was a constant positive presence in all of our lives. She was there for happy times, sad times and always there when we needed her. She was the first cat our daughter, Estelle, ever knew and they had a special bond. I have no doubt that Estelle learned to be gentle, show empathy, feel companionship and most importantly experienced joy with Fiona's presence in her early life. Fiona may now be gone, but I know for sure that the early experiences Estelle had with her will live on for a lifetime in the lessons of kindness she learned from Fiona. I will certainly miss her gentle purr, close "talking", constant desire to stick her nose in my coffee and just her warm and constant companionship. I know she helped my wife through much of her transition in life from college to adulthood and I'm eternally grateful for the friendship she provided to her. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't miss her and occassionally I find subconsciously myself looking for her when I sit down to watch tv. That space on the couch has a void for sure, but she will forever have a space filled in our hearts.
