there is integrity in honesty.
i moved the majority of my material life home this past weekend. i became ridiculously sick, which i believe was rest-induced.
there are things that i cannot speak of, prayers that leave me more sad than i have ever been, yet with a control i do not ask for, i do not care for, i cry for one thing. her name was laura, and she was my cat. she lived for eighteen full and spoiled years. i loved her more than most people. she died on sunday, april 20, 2008. and as we carried her down to the treeline to dig a small grave, my dad made quite the statement: "we should mark the grave 'laura-cat'...so people don't think we are doing weird things with the kids." oh, the tact and compassion in his voice.
so we will miss you, laura. no more cat-nip christmas stockings or summer cat-napping on the deck. you were such a lady.
