But for now all that will wait because I want to welcome home someone very special: my cat. After more than a year with Dave's folks, he's come back home to me. When he went away I was so engrossed in being Annabelle's mom that I thought those sweet kitty loving feelings were gone, and I had assumed his new home would be a permanent thing for us both. But no!
It can be so strange to be reunited with someone (or something) that you hadn't quite realized you missed. And it can be so nice when you realize that someone is just as soft, cuddly, and sweet as you always knew him to be. We've been hanging out together and it feels just like old times...
Welcome home Francis. I'm so glad to have you back.
