Our cat, Ralph got sick this past Sunday evening. When we took him to the vet on Tuesday, he was very close to death and we had to make a decision of putting him through a surgery that he may not survive or letting him go. He was a wonderful cat, the best I have ever met in all the world. I am so saddened by his death. Maybe it's because he was just here, playing with us three days ago and now he's gone. Joel and I are pretty much taking turns crying and Hannah is finding things to stop herself from having to think about it too much. I know this may not make much sense. I'll probably read it again next week and think, "What was I thinking? I should really learn to self-edit" But I wanted to let you know that I probably will either not be around very much or here all the time in the next month and this mourning will probably be the reason why.
Did you ever have a book that you love so much because it's just right? That's Our Daily Question for me. It's a three-year journal to share with your significant other. How does that work? Well, each calendar date has a question and divided space to record your answer three times. There is a great mix of fun, serious, thought-provoking, and heartfelt questions. Generally, the only ones that we've skipped over have been the ones that talk about all the time. It's been nice to be able to pick it up with morning coffee and have a conversation ready to go. Some we've even used at the dinner table to have family discussions. It's a wonderful little keepsake, one that will have much more value when you finish with it than when you start. If you're looking for a special gift to give a newly married couple, yourself, or even a pair of love birds that have been married for over 20 years, this is a great choice. I received a copy of this book from Ink & W
Lovely post, I'm sure you're still missing Ralph deeply. I've still got an unpublished post from last October about our cat that I can't bring myself to finish. Big hugs for us all xoxox
