This is so heart felt.

I used to raise chickens when I was in my teens. One of my little chicks - her name was Veronica - was grabbed by a cat while she stood on my mother's foot.

It's been 13 years and I still remember that night. I think it was the shock that keeps the memory so vivid.

My grief for losing a three-inch tall creature is so profound till today.

So yes. I feel ya, Susan.
