I'm so sorry to hear about Maggie's passing; my condolences to you and Danielle. Kurt and I also just had to say goodbye to our cat Esteban. It's so hard to say goodbye to our pets, but may the memories we have of them live on and comfort us always.

Thanks Kim. So sorry to hear about Esteban as well. My best to you and Kurt. It’s so very hard to say goodbye, but you’re absolutely right. The gifts they give us will live on and on with us

So sorry to hear about Maggie. It's so sad when a pet dies. Here's my contribution to "home": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvHL7vciU1M Also, though I haven't been to Illinois lately, before each trip I would play Dan Fogelberg's "Illinois." I still refer to Illinois as home, even though I left in '81.

I’m so sorry to hear about Maggie. Losing a pet is so intense. Not sure if this will help or hurt, so tread carefully. Maggie’s Song by Chris Stapleton makes me sob every single time. https://open.spotify.com/track/50QWBrZFAhD6N4B0tbfET9?si=i-sBIMPxQkihrWiWDbVTvg

P.S. take care of yourself. Substack is always here. And you’re a really great writer 😊
