Thanks for the kind words, everyone. And thank you for sharing your stories about your missed loved ones. It's good to see, in this often cold and sterile world, how bright and joyful these bundles of fur have made the area around them.
I showed this post to my girl friend with whom Ryker also shared his life. It dawned on me later that she had only read my post and not the comments from all of you. I mentioned that to her and she said, "Is it going to make me cry more?"
(My fault, really: I didn't tell her the subject matter - she saw me reading and saw the pictures of Ryker.)
She wanted to know what possessed me to dredge up these memories and emotions. I tried to explain how it was a catharsis of sorts. Eventually, she read on.
Again, thank you everyone.
