The fabulous day continued into the evening

Last evening our family sat together and watched a movie.  I'm pretty sure the last time that happened was December.  My heart was so incredibly full yesterday.  Our day as a family ended with all of us laughing together.  While I have NEVER taken those evenings for granted, the fact that going forward I may be able to count them on one hand is certainly on my mind.

Catherine was only here about 23 hours, but it was truly lovely.  I'm most grateful that she was able to spend some time loving on and cuddling our sweet cat Rosie, and that Rosie snuggled in bed with her all evening.  While Rosie has had some rebound days here and there, I'm afraid her days are numbered.  While we know something isn't quite right, she doesn't seem to be suffering.  We don't let animals suffer, so when that changes it will be time.  

I'm grateful for these extra days off to spend with people I love so very much!
