Do you know her? If her names sounds familiar, you will understand how deeply I am struggling.

Small creatures followed her into the afterlife, as she was kind to them on earth.

Let me tell you about "Leonard".

Leonard is a very small mouse who has taken up residency on my kitchen counter. Leonard is a teeny tiny little guy. He is not afraid of me. Well, just enough that he hides behind my toaster, and peeks out at me. Way too often. He has run over many many traps, but isn't big enough to set them off. Leonard should still be in diapers. Obviously, he is not.

Barb, my big and fearless cat who jumps sky high if you say 'hello' to him before he has seen you, is on the prowl for Leonard tonight.

In the past two weeks many of Leonard's relatives have passed on. The exterminator said that I must get TWO large ones to truly get them all. So far, only one has met that criteria.

But, I have not been kind. In my afterlife, should I turn around and see Leonard following me, I'm going to really start to wonder if I'm in the right place.
