I've been lighting the candle on Nikita's urn every day. Last night, when I blew it out, this is what the wick looked like.

You know....okay. This is the latent pagan in me coming out, and being as it's Candlemas (Imbolc) eve....

I think that wick does actually mean something. I think that she had no issues whatsoever with fire being her ultimate end. I mean - cats love heat, love to bask in the sun. I think the fire set her spirit free, let her form dissolve and fall away, and she leapt up, as the rabbits did in Watership Down, and rode the delicious waves of warmth up and up and up.

I think she saw your flame and blessed it, and I think that she will, in time, send you another cat to love and hold and keep dear.

I think that your grief is understandable and completely normal, but I don't think you should have any guilt.

Thank you. Thank you so much for those lovely words. I've read them over and over. Cried a few times, too. Shared them with my mother and brother.

Thank you <3

You're so welcome. I'm glad they're good words for you - i was a bit worried i might have overstepped or something.

But i meant every one of them.
