Animals have a way of reminding us of our humanity...

I really love this post

and not because my own post inspired you to write it, but mostly because it speaks of something so dear to my heart. Animals are on their own journey here, for sure. And just as there are many different journeys for humans, so it would have to be for animals as well.

To your thoughts, "Some, I believe, are with us to learn about love; some are with us, I also believe, to remind us of things we have forgotten about love" I would like to add, "and some are here to teach us how to love, and help us open our hearts to love." Samuel said that about my cat Gypsy, that her purpose was to assist me in opening my heart that had been so closed to humans due to too much suffering at their hands. And when I heard it, I knew instantly that it was true.

Sorry for the long comment but the subject is one I love so much! I could write about it all day long, but I would probably lose what few readers I have, LOL.
