Dede, I know I'm a nut burger with special sauce...but I still see Mama Kitty standing at the door looking at me with her sweet self. She sits by me on the porch like she always did. It's been a few months - I still cry. I don't think anyone could convince me that those dear ones don't have a soul and a spirit. They care about us. They live on in our hearts...and on a clear day - you can see them.
Please annoy Chi and give him a big hug from Auntie beth :0) more hugs and love to you, elizabeth in alabama, phelix, tori, tiffany, othello, antonio, lexie, and shakiti On 6/30/07, dede hicken <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Thanks Cassandra. No problem with the crying. I let Ki's brother Chi out into the main house today. He is running around and being obnoxious. I keep grabbing him to hug, and he gets annoyed!! They are almost alike except Ki had more white on his front paws and a white muzzle...both beautiful tabby boys with white feet. I don't know for certain either, but logically, if you believe all things have spirit, it makes sense that they live on as we will. that is a comforting thought about now.
