The weather and the sun made me smile as I took my lunch to the back porch and let scruffy Charlie love on my bare toes.
But... just a couple of hours later, there was a knock on the door- a neighbor letting Adam know that Charlie had been hit by a car. Death is so surreal and angry when it comes along so suddenly. It's hurtful and confusing, even with the seemingly insignificance of our mangy, orphan cat.
Adam took great care to protect me from the details, and for that I am grateful. We dug a hole in Charlie's favorite nap spot in the yard and laid a stone atop the soil. Such a sweet spirit is surely in a good place, right?
