Thankful for knowing animals in my life. They have mostly passed. Even the wonderful lion Johari.
Still have the ashes for one cat on bookshelf for a scattering with my son, when he is ready.
Mindful that cat's death triggered the other massive losses in my life, and sent me into serious vulnerable spin in October last year.
Mindful to be careful of general forum sensitivities and whatever is discussed.
Not ready to get a "replacement" yet, despite being told to on a few fronts.
Very mindful of life and death needs, especially mammals.
