41. Thank you Atticus

I lost my husband and lived in a big old barny house alone. My children gone, living their own lives. So after a year of mourning I sold my house, moved to another state to be close to my only sibling, went to no kill shelter bought me some love in the form of little black and white kitty. 2 years later Im still creating my own happiness . Just me and a loving cat. I love DU and some people can put into words the most beautiful things . DU adds hope to my life.
