Let's start with Sparky first. He's here. He's easiest. He's a cat.
My memories of him, my love for him, honor him, honor our creator for making possible this deep, simply and negotiated, unconditional love between human and animal. It really is quite simple & powerful.
And Sparky gives us tangible opportunity to find + name the beauty in this stage of life. The breaking of the bonds from here to there. - Rights
