Saying Goodbye, Part II

Last night I held a dead cat. Everyone, including the cat and her owner, knew the end was coming but it was difficult to endure when it actually arrived. I have a sincere fondness for felines and that one will be missed.

Read this in a Modern Love column and it speaks to me:

It doesn't seem fair that we can look back and connect the dots in life, and see what led from that to this, but we cannot look forward and anticipate in any way what constellation today's dots will form in the vast space ahead of us. I guess it's just best to assume that heaven is right here, right now, and let the stars fall where they may.

Hi - It looks like you're a member of AZ7, leaving at the end of September. Well, so am I. I plan to start my blog in the next few weeks, as most people I know (and some I don't know) want to read all about my experience.
I'm one of the older ones - 52 - and my Azerbaijan PCV job will be Community Economic Development.
See you in September,
Julie

Hi Julie, I look forward to meeting you. If you're on Facebook, look for the AZ7 group. Let me know when you get your blog started!
Best,
Jenni
