Possible new box

Hi,
I am thinking of doing a new box to commemorate the life of our dear
cat Fluffy. We have had her for 8 years. Yesterday morning as my 3
year old and I were leaving to go to mother's day out I ran over her.
I am so very distraught over the whole incident, especially with my
husband being out of town on business. My little boy saw her as she
was dying and hopefully he is resillent as I think he is. This cat
slept with him every night and he used her as a pillow. Anyway if
anyone is interested in receiving this type of letterbox please email
me. I could also use any words of advice or encouragement that you can
offer.
Thanks

My daughter seems to suffer extraordinary events every time her husband is
out of town - everything from a 4-year old falling and knocking out both front
teeth to a 1-year old suffering a severe peanut allergy reaction and the
paramedics being called, to all kinds of lesser cuts scrapes, and minor
emregency-room visits, dead car batteries, you name it - always when the husband is
gone. (How do they DO that?) She is an expert on coping and handling it - I
don't know how (there are 3 children, oldest is 7, a big Lab, 2 cats, and
assorted other critters including a turtle and 2 fish in the household, and she
teaches Kindergarten - my, I'm exhausted just considering it all!) All of
that to say, I'm sorry to hear about Fluffy - losing a pet, especially that
way, is so sad. I took my beloved beagle Pogo for a walk one snowy, icy day and
stood there in shock as a car rolled right over him, unable to stop on the
slick ice, and I still remember it vividly years later. Yes, the LB is a
great idea as a memorial. You plant it and I'll find it. (But could you maybe
plant it somewhere closer to DFW?)

Another thought - "The 10th Good Thing About Barney" by Judith Viorst is
about a little boy whose cat has died and his mother tells him to think of 10
good things to say about him as they bury him. Maybe you could find it at a
library or bookstore - been around a long time.

Sorry to hear about your cat. I would suggest the childrens book CAT
HEAVEN by Cynthia Rylant. I have DOG HEAVEN which I read to my son
when I need to think about my departed best friend.
