Hey everyone!
Those of you, who are part of the Discord server already know that I had to cancel yesterdays matches due to unexpected circumstances. Today I'll have to say goodbye to a beloved pet, my Dad's cat who's been a huge part of my childhood. Leon is a very special tom cat, he's been at home at two families, my Dad and his neighbor right next door to him, after Leon's original family unexpectedly moved and abandoned him. Since then, our little neighborhood and my Dad's place have been his home for a little over 20 years.

It feels strange to say goodbye. It's not only saying goodbye to a cat that's really dear to my heart, I'm also saying goodbye to a time he represents to me. He was always there, whenever I visited my Dad on the weekends as a kid. He connected me and my Dad, who, like MANY Dads, was completely against owning a pet until Leon came around. I think letting go will be even harder for him, even if he doesn't show it. I'm glad we get to say goodbye to him together.

With that being said, thank you all so much for your condolences and your support. You've been incredibly understanding of me having to cancel Mondays matches and I really appreciate how encouraging you all have been to take as much time as I need to grieve.
I don't know how I'm going to be after visiting Leon one last time, it might be that I'll have to cancel a battle I had planned for Wednesday too. I will let you guys know this evening how I'm feeling, personally I think I'd be ready to get some distraction on Thursday again, but only time will tell. 

If Leon would have been a part of my day to day life the past couple of years, then I'd surely need weeks to properly grieve, like I did after my last dear cat Topsie died, but I think in Leon's case it will be easier to let go. He's been living a long and good life. 

Thank you for your well-wishes and I'll see you all soon. I'm ready to say goodbye now.
-Eleanor
