This is not my story. The basic concept comes from bedtime stories told by my great-uncle more than seventy years ago. If they had not been lost from my memory, I would have told them but, since they are, I have created characters and a story line based upon those long forgotten tales. Those stories changed my life.
Although he never said so, his stories had a purpose. They helped me deal with the grief of death, the indescribable pain of losing my beloved pets. Through his stories I came to believe that, while they might be lost to me, they lived on with each other. And there was great comfort and solace in that. Truth be told, I still believe them today. They are a great comfort to anyone grieving the death of a beloved pet..
