Went out with my son this morning to walk him to the bus stop at the bottom of our driveway, and there was one of the stray cats dead. Just right there in our driveway. I don't know what happened. Usually cats wander off when they're ill. Of all the strays that have been around (that I haven't taken in) since I've been here, I've never seen one dead. They've all left. Cats are my thing, so I'm really upset. I came inside and have been crying off and on since my son left on the bus. My husband stopped by from work and is burying him now. I've been depressed anyway as my son has gone back to school and have been coping with strong feelings of loneliness. I didn't fare well after our fire with being left alone all day long. My son being home for the summer helped a lot, but here we are again. Also just being flooded with memories of last fall before our fire when things were good. The slant of light is giving that fall feel that I usually love but now find hard to bear.
