Wednesday

The day that I found my very first kitty, Diamond Eyes, dead on the highway still seems like yesterday. I was eight years old. More than sixty years ago and I can still see her beautiful long grey coat and her bewitching eyes in my mind.

Nothing prepares us.

Be kind to yourself, MIButterfly. We love you.
