Heart cat

Previously

…The afternoon sun, now lower in the sky, cast long shadows across the room. Heart Cat stretched, a languid, graceful movement, and then settled back down, his gaze meeting mine. In his clear, innocent eyes, I saw not just a beloved pet, but a reflection of the enduring power of love, a love that was capable of healing, of growing, and of making even the most daunting path feel less frightening. I was not alone. And that, more than any promise of glory, was the most profound truth of all.
