I found an old story i wrote when I was seven. It was about you, and I cried when I read it. I've been crying a lot, but it's not your fault. That's just part of grieving and I've accepted it.

The story was kind of eh, but what else would you expect from a seven year old? One of the pages said "holstein is the best pet I have ever petted," and I want you to know that thats still true. I know you were my only pet, but you were still the best cat. You had really soft fur, almost like petting clouds, and you were warm and affectionate and pretty much perfect.

I love you, and i don't think I'm ever going to stop loving you. I definitely don't want to, because you were such a big part of my life and I don't want to let go of you. I know you're in a happy place now, and that you're loved, but I still miss you.

I wish I could pet you and hold you just one more time. Even if I was crying when I did it. I just miss your presence and your warmth in my life.

Continuing with the Irish music, I want to return to one of my deepest loves: classical music. Ireland has had a fair amount of composers emerge mostly in the 20th century. However, John Field is considered a pioneer for Ireland. He’s not immediately thought of when you think of other 18th century composers like Mozart or Handel. However, Field did gain popularity performing in the Rotunda Concert Room in Dublin. 

Here’s one of his nocturnes.

Enjoy!
