Darling

     This is Darling. My mother Donna's cat.  When my mother was in the ICU, dying, she gave me instructions to have Darling "put down." She couldn't bear not knowing what would happen to her.  When I told her I would take her, she still wanted me to put her to sleep.  My mother didn't want the anxiety of worrying about Darling in the big city.

   As it turned out, my mother didn't die just yet, but she moved to Buffalo NY to live with me.  Darling greeted her arrival.
