A Heart in the Sand

We never got around to disposing of our cat’s litter boxes. They’re clean: I cleaned them after she died, because we thought we’d get another cat.. That was our summer. Then I got sick. Couldn’t get a new cat.

Anyway, a day or two ago we noticed something peculiar in the one litter box. It was a perfectly sculpted heart, about the size of an open hand. We don’t know how long it’s been there. Nor how it got there.

I can’t express how deeply we miss our cats. Robbie was the last of them. Our household is disordered, and I have all sorts of medical procedures waiting down the road for me. I can’t keep track of them.

All I know is, somehow a perfectly formed Valentine heart has appeared in our cat’s litter box.

  1. Just count your blessings in spite of all the not-so-great things. That is what I have to do each day. Otherwise, I’d go nuts and I can’t have that. I hope you come through all this soon, because you are always a blessing to me and I’m sure you are to many people. Prayers keep coming for you and Patty.
