Ann,

I had been wondering about you and your kitty. I'm so sorry that you have been having such a rough time. It is so hard to understand the cycle of life. I know recently, my father has not been well and I have been trying to understand why we age and die and how those left behind cope. Pondering the unponderable I'm afraid.

But you have your parents, your boyfriend, your pets and now baby Kattja! Please though...school is important. It is another thing in which you can get absorbed!

My condolences on the loss of your beloved grandfather....
