The cat, the urn and the dream
When I saw this pottery jar I knew it was the perfect place for his ashes.
Black cats running through misty fields – surely one of them is my angel kitty, Dickens. When he’s not playing in fields of green, I know he’s flying through the starry skies with all his angel friends.
It’s funny – I always thought his closest angel buddy would be Jake, the beloved dog I lost in 2006. After all, it was Jake who found Dickens and his sisters 12 years ago.
But last night I had a dream about Martha, the magical dog who started me on my writing journey. I used to dream about Martha all the time…now she shows up when she has something to tell me.
In the dream, she was running next to my car as I drove near a highway. We came to an on-ramp and suddenly she veered left onto the ramp and headed onto I-84. “I’ve got to merge” she told me. “Dickens.”
Then POOF – she was gone!
And I knew she was on her way to see my beloved sweet boy.
Lovely….
Purrs,
Chris

Amazing, absolutely amazing.
And what a lovely urn! I'll have to show it to Deb Chebatoris!
Thanks, Bernadette - I really love this urn. And Martha stopping by was such a wonderful surprise!
Do you remember where you got that beautiful urn? I had the website bookmarked once upon a time but no more.
Sharon, I bought that urn here in Portland, at a crematorium. It really is beautiful!
