Loving and Loss

Daughter and her husband are mourning the loss of their oldest cat, just as Fiorella and her husband mourned for Wendy Dog, and Older Son and his wife for Angel Grace.  People are a very loving species.  We set up relationships with each other and with our animals and even with inanimate things, like houses and belongings.  Some people carry it too far and turn into hoarders.  And some people go the opposite direction and, don't seem to be able to relate to anyone or anything--we send these people to psychiatrists, but they often end up in jail.

Whatever, loving seems to be built into humans.  It's one of the nicest thing about us.
