One life enters, one life leaves
(guest post by Adam)
While we were here in the hospital, our wee grey cat, Lightning, came to the end of a several-week decline. She’s had great innings, as the Brits say, and her slow-down over the last little while has been slowly breaking our hearts, even as we’ve been focusing ourselves more and more on the little person snoozing in the bassinet next to us, here.
We’re getting ready to head home soon, knowing that we’ll have to deal with both the emotional and physical traces Lightning left behind. She was an excellent friend, and I’m only sorry we couldn’t devote more to her passing. Despite the huge changes coming to us, we’re going to miss her something fierce.
