Anne,

Thank you for writing so poignantly about the last good day. I often think of your original last good day Mehitabel post and it often helps me come to terms with whatever might be transpiring in my world and as you might remember I love the kitties and they definitely don’t stay long enough. I will forever be so sorry at the loss of your Mehitabel and I can only imagine how difficult it is for you without out her by your side. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and support and your humor. They are all so needed and part of the best days now more than ever.

Thank you for this, and for reaching back through the screen from the cyber beyond. Putting one paw forward at a time, one day till the next. The kitties do not stay nearly long enough, although the divine Mehitabel gave it her best shot.

I had forgotten how long lived she was. She must have been well loved. 🐾♥️

She was so well loved, not to mention obeyed and worshipped. She was a cat among cats.

So sad, so thoughtful, so beautiful. Thanks, Anne. I feel for your loss of Mehitabel. And the last good day? I don't know. Enjoy the spring flowers---I miss my garden and the early bulbs and the hostas appearing from nowhere from the earth. Stay safe. Protect yourself from too much news. I, too, cannot believe what is happening, and I live so close by in Maryland.

I spent some time in my garden today, and it helped to not think about things for an hour or so. The sun was out, the hellebores are blooming. Every hour I can stay away from news is good.

Thank you Anne — this arrived on a day when I needed to read it. Also, Pansies. I’m obsessed.

Pansies are an excellent thing to be obsessed by.

Glad this resonated today. We keep putting one foot ahead of the other, one paint stroke next to the last one. There are good days still.
