In Memory of Christy, who has crossed the Rainbow Bridge
There’s one more silky head
You’ve petted gone for good
One more meow that now
Will never sound again
Your heart is aching
And your tears flow freely
But I promise that your
Heart will heal again
So let not your sorrow
Cancel out the joy you shared
And know that all the gifts
Of love you gave her
In the end will be repaid
Born in a small, Illinois log cabin . . . No, that won’t work. The pampered only child of incredibly wealthy parents . . . No, that won’t fly either. Raised by French nuns after her aristocratic parents were beheaded . . . No, that’s been done! Got it: An East Coast transplant to the Pacific Northwest, this notoriously late bloomer began her new life with a new career as a writer and blogger. She has taken to both the new location and the career move like a duck to water. Writing is a new adventure, and our intrepid risk-taker is diving in, feeling right at home and making new friends. Reached for comment, she replied, “Okay, I wrote my bio, now may I Please go out and play?” We expect great, or perhaps merely more coherent, things from this writer. (Okay, that’s a wrap. What a wacko!)

I am sorry to hear your family has suffered a loss of a dear family member. They leave a hole in our hearts when they depart. We try to fill the emptiness with memories of our adventures together.

Yes, Frank, and some of them leave Big gaping holes. But Christy had a good life after her rescue. She was well loved. Thank you for your kind words.

I looked at it after I posted it, and it looks a little like a sympathy card, doesn’t it? I certainly feel sympathetic. Glad my guys are only 7.
