Gentle SPECTRUMS

I am not doing reading challenges. Our dear Mom went to Heaven in January 2020. Son cat Spirit in January 2021, Daughter cat Marigold in June 2021, Son cat McCartney in March 2022 all crossed over naturally. Our dear Dad joined them in August 2024. Five times grief needs to be worked through.

Photos

Here is one of the last photographs of <b>Lover</b> and I together, who unexpectedly left our physical world only six months ago. He was strong, bright, happy, and scarcely age 4. It's wryly funny but unplanned; this is the sole photo taken on my fiancé's birthday in 2013. <b>Lovey</b> (white) and <b>Conan</b> (orange) are birth brothers and <b>Spirit</b> (grey), their beloved elder. <b>Love</b> passed away just six months ago at a surprising 4 years old. We miss him hourly. <b>Angel</b> is our boy <b>Love's</b> twin sister. On this birthday, there was a whole series of photos of Ron unwrapping presents; instead of one view of three kitties on a drier! Our fruit harvest in 2012 was bountiful for Manitoba! Here is our precious <b>Petal</b> leaping fruit in our library. It seems orange girls, like their Mom, are rare. <i>Copyright (C) 2012 RIEDEL CARDS</i>. <b>Marigold</b>, climbing near our north birdfeeder in October 2012: is a very young Mom to <b>Angel, Love, Petal, Conan</b>.
