Daily Photo: Once You Were a Stranger

Once you were a stranger who filled my hand.
Now you are a memory who fills my heart.
Remembering Lucy.

She was here, and so quickly gone.
Also read Lucy.
For my first annual presentation at Pet Memorial Sunday I told the story of my loss and redemption.
You can also read Mimi’s perspective on all this.

Love you Lucy! I hope you will better in heaven! I know how you feel when lost someone so inportant but… We have to move on and Lucy will stay in our heart forever.
Dianna, she is still with us with her mom and her four wonderful kittens born the year after Lucy. I wish her mom hadn’t still been outside and having more kittens, but I’m glad I could take them all in. Thanks for visiting.
Lovely picture and verse.
Aptly describes how we feel about pets that have gone.
Nancy and the kitties
Nancy, yes, no matter the age.
