"Until one has loved an animal, a part of one'¿s soul remains unawakened."-Anatole France When I was ten years old, I experienced my first loss: my precious yellow cat named Dandy. Unfortunately, loss is a part of life, and it's important to have good emotional support from your friends and family during this time. I was allowed to express my sadness and reflect on pictures. We also had many other cats eager to share their affection. How we learn to deal with death can affect our emotional future. Sadness and tears are a normal part of the grieving process: they help us heal. This book is a celebration of life for Mac, a stray cat that appeared out of nowhere one fine summer day. Each cat has its own personality and his was incredible! In his short time with us, he stole our hearts away. We hope you enjoy this trip down memory lane as we share with you some original photography and whimsical rhymes about Mac's life.
