I'm sorry, i missed noticing
Posted on Sun, 21 Jan 2024
I'm sorry, i missed noticing this last week. You are keeping up the intriguing mix of the ordinary and quirky fantasy (smelly sneakers and Dad's long-ago fantasy adventure) I was amused by the comment of the 'dog' having 'to accommodate her...

A so sad story, but showing much understanding of the emotions of both. There seems a determination to get through it in respect to their relation. I suppose that is the hope in the last sentences. I expect that her hope in the cat comes from her...
