I have this pillow I love, a photo tapestry with two cats sitting on a windowsill looking out side by side. I am the orange one, with tail wagging below the sill, perfectly happy and comfortable on that perch. It was given to me by the other cat, a long haired beauty enjoying the same companionable moment.
'I can't imagine...', the inscription begins. We began our friendship simply enough: a mutual friend introduced us and almost instantly it exploded into Godparenting and emergency responses and VHS players and 12 hour drives to show up unannounced at pool parties. It was glorious.
'...in all the world...'. And so it went, laughter and fun as we dealt with life's ups and downs and knowing there was probably a soft pillow of friendship waiting if we were knocked off our feet.
'...a better friend than you.' She has droves of friends from all walks of life, better ones than me, loyal and amazing people who travel the world, lend a hand, help the underprivileged, create beauty, and protect our planet. Just like her.
