Lost our beloved cat shortly after my own cancer journey and know what a difficult hole it is to fill. They’re such funny, lovely creatures. Wishing you well.

Oh, Martha, I'm so sorry about Omar.

It feels strange/disorienting to wish you a happy birthday after writing that, but I hope you are having a good day, bruised heart notwithstanding.

I’m so sorry for your loss, Martha. Our fur babies are family, I know the grief can feel impossible sometimes. Sending you comfort in it.

A beautiful reflection to sit with, even if a painful start. Thank you for sharing it with us. 🖤

Time is precious. I'm glad you had the years with Omar, and he was fortunate to have you too for all those years. Appreciating your loss, while celebrating the world still has YOU~ talented, soulful woman, you. I"m glad you were able to still celebrate another year on the planet.
