It has been a couple of weeks, but I am only just now able to talk about it. Cathy was one of the many wanton waifs I have found homeless and abandoned in the swamps of the Tuscumbia River bottom near where I live.
She was a bright and happy little girl. She loved her daddy, and she wore way too much mascara. But I loved her anyway.
She is at the bridge now. She was loved. She still is loved. She will never be forgotten. She will always be missed.
Randi has been kind enough to replace her picture in my siggy with the newest addition to Willow Oak. His name is Grainger. Ironically enough, I found him within mere feet of the exact same spot where I found Cathy. He too, was left abandoned and unwanted. He has found a home at Willow Oak.
Grainger is such a silly billy ...

She seemed such a sweet and adventurous little girl. She will stay forever in your heart and never be forgotten, and I hope the good memories with her will lessen your pain.
