Mom and Dad picked up Jasper's ashes last Monday (January 22). When they brought them home, they set the box on the floor to get a picture or two of us with him. They didn't anticipate our reaction.
Huggy Bear rested him head on the box that contains his ashes. This was completely unprompted and was so emotional. He really misses his brother.
Maggie and I paid our respects too.
Then Maggie rubbed her face against the corner to put her stink on the box.
The crematorium also make an impression of Jasper's paw. You can't really see it in the picture. I'll try to post a better one.
The house feels more empty, and Dad keeps stepping over the spot Jasper where would stretch out in the mornings like Jasper is there. Jasper is now resting in the bookshelf next to Fluffy, Mom's first cat. Thanks again for all the kind thoughts and words during this tough time. Jasper was Dad's first cat, and a great friend to all of us.

We are so glad Jasper is home, Josie. We bet your mom and especially your dad are at peace with his being back too. Our mom was especially touched with everybody's welcoming him--but we know it's the cat way.
We know it's still hard without him, so we will continue to keep all of you in our thoughts and purrs.
We’re so sorry. We know you all miss Jasper. Sending you all lots of comforting purrs.
I'm so glad your humans gave you all some closure. Purrs to you.
