I'm in Facebook chat conversation with my wonderful sister Lynn. We're all handling Mum's departure from our lives in different ways...tho' really there's no point in getting into details.
I was reminded of the time back when we were children, when Lynn's first cat Fluffy died. Lynn was so upset and hurting that she wrote the news opinion commentator of a local TV station--and he responded by reading some of her letter on air and expressing his condolensces to her for everybody.
On a whim I did a websearch for the name of the cat and the name of the TV station together:
THIS is what came up.
The Circle of Life is a very real thing. Sometimes the next world is Heaven or Paradise, and maybe we don't see loved ones again. Or maybe we just come back to this one, in a form that befits us better and fated to find love and happiness. You know love can endure--and you know it will!--one of Mum's favorite songs from Crosby, Stills and Nash.
