One Word That Makes Our Complicated Lives Suddenly Very Simple

My older daughter pushed the nursing home elevator button while gripping the cat carrier with her opposite hand. Inside was the cat she picked from a litter of foster kittens and said, “I am supposed to have this one, Mom. I just know it.” “But I promised your dad we wouldn’t ask to adopt any of the kittens we fostered,” I reminded. Six weeks later, after writing the most persuasive letter of her life to her father (tearstained, no less), Paisley was ours.

Key Takeaways:

• Six weeks later, after writing the most persuasive letter of her life to her father (tearstained, no less), Paisley was ours.
• We proceeded to take Paisley down the hall, stopping to let residents pet him if they wished.
• I honestly never knew someone we’d never met could be so happy to see us. My eyes instantly filled with tears.

“I honestly never knew someone we’d never met could be so happy to see us.”
