Love

“When all your desires are distilled, you will cast just two votes: to love more, and be happy.” - Hafiz

Today feels like a better day than this past weekend. I've heard from friends that picking up the ashes of your cat definitely counts as one of the Worst Days, so my reactions were not unfounded. The reality of the fact that she is gone seems to set in from the moment you pick up the ashes. Before that, it's easy to get lost in the mind games of wondering how she died, what could we have done, etc.

I keep trying to get past the loss and remember the joy and love Sassy brought into our lives. She definitely taught me to love, love more, and love simply.
