missing stanley

I am completely bummed out. My friend Mark's cat, Stanley, unexpectedly passed away yesterday. I wrote about Stanley a couple of years ago but hadn't actually met him until earlier this month. At Mark's house, everybody had to talk cats for awhile, and their family obviously loves theirs just like we love ours. The bond between Mark and Stanley was obvious, even when Stanley wasn't riding around on Mark's shoulders.

Mark has had a hard year in this regard, and I know there isn't anything I can say to ease his grief, or that of his wife and daughter. They are in my thoughts, and I will give Sophie and Kady a little extra love today in tribute to Stanley.

Thanks for your kind thoughts. I backtracked to the links you gave to my earlier posts, and got all teary-eyed all over again. I can't say that I have cried for another human the way I have for our pets.
