Comments on: Ashes, Ashes, We All Fall Down http://thisonewildlife.com/cat-rescue/ashes-ashes-we-all-fall-down/ for all it's worth Thu, 09 Feb 2012 06:05:28 +0000 hourly 1 By: Kim Clune http://thisonewildlife.com/cat-rescue/ashes-ashes-we-all-fall-down/#comment-13 Kim Clune Mon, 15 Feb 2010 15:31:43 +0000 http://thisonewildlife.com/?p=246#comment-13 I'm so sorry to hear about your loss of Toto. I hope that you and Jasper find comfort in one another and in what life still has to offer. Sometimes the places where we find peace are a pleasant surprise. The other day, while filling the bird feeders, I found a bit of comfort as I walked the path where Kringle finally laid to rest. This path is the main artery for foot traffic in our yard and I use it almost daily. While stepping over the flagstone where his body breathed its last breath, I wondered if my boy didn't lay to rest there on purpose to ensure that our paths often cross - because they do and always will.

Life goes on but there is a still, quiet space now where there was previously a serene, purring presence. Since he's been gone, my energy has been spent trying to keep his little brother Jasper (only 2) from laying down and giving up - looking back it feels like I lost him a century ago and only yesterday.
