This book contains poems that are very meaningful to me. You may not understand them, or even like them, and that’s okay. They are just thoughts I put on paper for my own pleasure and, hopefully, yours too. They all tell a story of “happenings” in my and my husband’s, life. Whether it be a birthday, holiday, wedding, anniversary, illness, death or just life itself, they represent my true feelings for that instant and/or person at the time. I count myself very blessed to have so many wonderful things to draw upon for the basis of my poetry, and also blessed to have this god-given talent. Even though you may not understand the meaning behind some of these simple poems, I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed penning them. Thank you and god bless.

When Ingrid leaves her job at the veterinary hospital to start her own business, Buckley comes home to live with her and Amber, another tortoiseshell cat who had adopted the author several years earlier. Buckley is diagnosed with heart disease after only two years of living with Ingrid, and caring for Buckley through her illness only deepens the bond between cat and human. Interspersed with well-researched information about cat health in general, and heart disease in particular, the author describes the challenges and rewards of managing illness in a feline companion, and ultimately helping her through the final transition.
