I Love This Man

I love this man. I really really really do. He will be missed -- all the way on the other side of the great big world. And I will continue to tell the two small people in the house all about him and the cats.  'Mama, will you tell me about the cats again?  How they used to follow him along the streets of Rome while he was going to work?  What kind of snacks did he have in his pockets, do you think? And did the cats go home and wait for him until the next day? That's crazy!'

But really, I am grateful for him. And I am wildly proud to be a little part of his very large flock.
