Understanding missing any loved person-animal just fills me with tears. They have such great hearts.

Last year I drove my 86yo uncle to see my mother at her nursing home. During the long drive he related the story of a horse he lost 45yrs earlier. His voice caught several times & I looked over & tears were running from my old uncle's face. I squeezed his hand as I fought my own tears.

❤ critters. They're often better than people.
