[alejandro with the book]

Cat Heaven

*

the story behind it goes as follows:

i stumbled upon this book in the picture book section

of a public library i was visiting last year,

and

always had it in my mind because of how old

my cat, Dinah, was.

I sat on the floor, legs crossed,

turning the pages,

tearing, imagining reading this at a time when

i knew i'd no longer be able to squeeze her,

hold her,

hug her,

smooch her,

and it made me really sad.

*

that was about a year ago.

*

...and this is now.

now she is gone.

it happened one week ago, today,

and

thinking of it

still makes me sad as ever.

*

i miss her so much.

*

i bought this book this week, and

i open it when i need to let go of some of the pent-up emotions.

***

here's

some pages from it:

this page gets me every time:

{{tear, tear}}

***

to imagine her like this,

sitting on a cloud...

***

i recommend it to anyone who's lost the cat-love of their life.

it's a good gift along with a sympathy card to anyone you know who's lost the cat-love of their life.

there's also a Dog Heaven book, but i never read that one.
