What a great name! I had cats all my life, and now a single rescue dog, who is a headstrong terrier mix, so unlike my previous Goldens, but such big part of my life. His name is Jazz, short for Jasper, from whence he was rescued (Jasper, TN).
Flashback 65 years ago to dad and I watching Sunday cartoons. Popeye finds out he has a dad and goes to see him. At which point Popeye's dad says "II hates relictives." After a laugh, I say to my dad
"Is that how it is? He replies " Yes" I make a mental note in the boilerplate that is 12 year at old boy's mind. "That's how it is." Luckily for me, my spouse's dad was a drunk who ruined every one of her childhood holidays, I have screwed up Christmas, but our children know we try. It's always about family.
Omg I love this post!! Your writing is fabulous!
Why, Thank you! I appreciate that encouragement!
I also love your kitten pic; what its name?
That’s Figgy. One of our 4 rescue kitties.

Jazz is a great name! I’ve had cats for most of my life too and Fig has lots of nicknames: Lil’ Fig, Miss Figgy, Figarillo. 😻
