Some Things Take Time

---

This husband of mine…

Got the biggest kick out of one of his Christmas gifts…not normally a puzzle-doer…but sat right down…and started puzzling…

Chuckling that old man chuckle…pointing out the likenesses…of two of his favorite cats…in the whole wide world…

Knew he’d start with Old Man Wrigley…letting his lovely wife work the on Roddy Piper look-a-like…up there in the corner…

It’s been a year now…since we lost our best friend…that neighbor of ours…who won us over with his innocence…his cuddles…his gift of love…

A year since we said good-bye assuming our backyard cat family would be the same…when our travels to Texas were done…

A year…come spring…when Old Man Wrigley would be in kitty cat Heaven…and Roddy Piper…would have a new home…

And so…we work together…chatting…laughing…reliving memories…of sweet silly kitty times…and little by little…feeling those pieces of a broken heart…slowly…come together…

And this husband of mine…agrees…
