My dearest L: it is indeed a season of endings. My Rascal crossed the rainbow bridge this morning before we made it home. I prayed for that last night - that if he was in too much pain to wait for us to get home, that God take him sooner. He was such a sweet cat, I will miss him for a very long time. I'm so glad we have one more session left so I can talk about this a little bit too, before we say goodbye.
