Sorrow

There's an old expression about someone fading away to a shadow.....I saw that tonight when I went to petsit with my Good Neighbor's cat Spike. 

Spike misses his buddy Patch very much.  Grief seems to spread out from his whole being.  He has lost weight, and he has become fragile in the matter of a few weeks.  Poor creature.

God, please bless small things that have no words.
