Checking In

My posting has been light this past week...it's been a rough one.

On Wednesday our beloved cat, Thomas, died.  It was a tragic accident.  Apparently, he was climbing over the back fence and his foot got caught between two slats.  He could not break himself free.  He must have been there for several hours.  He did not show up at the door on Wednesday morning and we were getting worried.  Thankfully, Dan was the one that found him.  It was awful and heartbreaking.

Nathan did not take the news well.  As you might recall, he had a terrible time with the death of his bird last year.  This has been a devastating week.

We are trying our best to move forward and not think about how Thomas died...but how he lived...like a KING!  That cat ruled the roost in this house!  He was a good cat, extremely friendly with the kids and a total lap hound.  We will miss him.

Please keep Nathan in your prayers as he learns the lessons of death and dying, love and loss.
