Tell Them You Love Them

While you can

Early one Friday morning, he walked out the back door, as he did countless times before. He stopped to drink rain water from a planter, as he often did.

Then he vanished.

We scoured our property and the woods across the street. We talked to neighbors. “Our cat is missing. He’s a large, grey and white tuxedo. He can’t walk very well. Have you seen him?”

He would come back if he could. He always did.

Whenever a loved one leaves home, tell them you love them. While you can.
