The Beginning

Twenty two years ago I met my best friend and the love of my life. Eighteen years ago I married her. Six months later we added Hank a cat to our lives. Hank died a year later to a conflict with a car. We went to the pound and got Nell (another replacement cat, who looked similar) who has been a friend and a pain for 17 years. Nell is on her last legs today. I am not sure on the affects on me when Nell leaves us, but losing a friend is not good. For now I have Gretchen (a dog), who is also from the pound but has had a great impact on my life. Gretchen can not run with me any more but can still spend time with me on isolated walks in the quarry.
