Our baby

Meet Rusty. He is of the two kittens my wife and I found last night on our walk. We weren't expecting to come back from our walk and double the amount of cats we have in our home, but we couldn't leave these two little guys outside on their own. I blame @isaria for this because of all of her cat talk and all of the cats she has rescued lately.

Why did we name him Rusty?

Rusty was the nickname of my best friend Scott that had passed away over two years ago now. When I was giving the kitten a bath last night, my daughter and I were talking about names for him and she suggested naming him Rusty in memory of Scott. Scott was like an uncle to her and she really took it hard when he passed.

This was a picture I took of him when we went to Florida together to speak at a Military Veterans conference. Scott was a Marine that had been injured in a IED blast and suffered from some pretty bad injuries from it for the remaining time he had left in his life. He is one of the few people that I have shared my whole story with and that really knows me.

Now my daughter and I have our own little Rusty to remind us of him.
