Last year at Thanksgiving, Sammie Cat and I were celebrating beside the fireplace together. Who would have known that not even a week later, the Chatette would go up in smoke and flames and I would lose my Sammie Cat to the smoke.
She was my sweetest girl. I miss her all the time.
For some reason, looking back at this holiday last year that she and I shared together is important to me today.
Thanksgiving is tomorrow.
The one year anniversary of the fire is next week.
Even in the midst of the sadness, trauma, and loss; I see and feel our love and such a truly beautiful time of the year here on the Lot in Cadrieu.
We shared our breakfast and coffee every day.
We shared our Thanksgiving dinner. There was even a little heart-shaped piece of turkey with all that pasta.
She helped me review the cookbooks and gave her critique of recipes we should try.
She was part of me and I was part of her.
So today, probably for the next week...when I look at the valley and the photos of this amazingly beautiful place; I will feel her close and she will be beside me all the way.
It will have to be enough.
It is enough.
Happy Wednesday!
