Thank you! They were such good kitties, and I know they had a long and lovely life, but I miss them every single day.

And the baby girl...she was the daughter of a friend from the choir and his wife, stillborn at term because the cord got kinked around her foot on the day before she was to have been delivered by planned C-section. I cannot quite describe the roller coaster we've all been on, the past week and more - the loss inextricably intertwined with the joy of Christmas celebrations has (obviously) had a profound impact.
