This morning we went to Emily's school for a fun pancake breakfast. It was a beautiful morning and Ryan's first day of freedom (he has spring break next week). Everyone was great, when out of nowhere Ryan began to cry. I could not for the life of me figure out WHAT could be wrong! I kept asking him to try to stop sobbing and tell me what had happened to make him so sad. He finally said "I was just thinking about our cats". Oh, no! I thought he was finally over their deaths; he hadn't brought it up for months and months. Eventually he recovered and we came home..
A while later, it occured to me that our 20 year old cats had died in April. I pulled out my journal and looked it up. They died on April 12, 2007, exactly one year ago today. A chill went up my spine. When I realized that he started to feel sad at the very moment they went down, I couldn't believe it.
There is so much we do not see or understand in this life. Sometimes I wonder what else Ryan can feel or see that I cannot...
FIGARO
