Last month, our daughter Denise surprised us with this lovely sun-catcher she found online. Does it remind you of anyone?
Is it a coincidence that she found a cat replica that looks like our Vivian, who passed away in November? I think not. Now we have a visual reminder that she is still peering out over Perry’s Point, which she knew like the back of her paw. 🐾
It’s also the perfectly fitting remembrance of her many guest posts on this blog—“Vivian’s View From Here”.
We still miss her terribly, yes.
But I like to think we have our own little guardian angel
watching over us. 💙

I was gifted that same sun catcher with a ginger cat. Gus is my ginger and he’s still around but it’s a perfect memory of Vivian.

It is. Now I have to look for a tabby one that looks like Maisie (as another commenter/blogger suggested). Thanks, Kate. 🙂
