I received this thoughtful bracelet in September 2018 right after our first cat, Data, passed away, and immediately put it on and said I would stop wearing it when it broke.
It never broke! I’ve had it on since then! For four and a half years!
I finally decided yesterday was the day to take it off. It had looked ratty for years, and I was wearing those three other bracelets with it… and it just didn’t look good!
I also took off the white one in the photo. My snis got one for me and one for her in Santa Monica, California in September and the bracelet was missing beads and pretty worn (my snis had already taken hers off months ago!).
So all that to say… it’s the end of me wearing my Data bracelet! I would love to get a tattoo to memorialize him. Someday!
What a sweet thing to remember your kitty!
It was!!!
This is so sweet! I’m glad your Data bracelet held up so well over the years. Also, I don’t think I realized that Dutch and Data passed away within 6 months of each other. 2018, what a year.
I hope you get that tattoo! My Dutch tattoo is so precious to me.
OMG! I didn’t make that connection either! It was a hard year. We also had Snow Sr pass away in early 2019 and it was just so hard!
I will some day for sure!!! I love your Dutch tattoo (and all your ink!).
