I never knew Sandy. But I pull out her yellowed obituary every September 11th. I read it and think of her. In 2001 after the attack, our paper ran every single obituary. I read them all. It was overwhelming at times, but I felt I needed and wanted to read them. I knew I would never remember all their names, so I clipped out Sandy's to keep and remember. One person to focus my thoughts on. I figured she and I would have liked each other. I love cats, and could relate to taking the day off to attend to them. I liked that she wrote as her form of expression. Across the street from my house is our city's Veteran Memorial Park (Beaverton Oregon) We have a monument stone honoring the victims of 9-11. Whenever I take a flower there, I say, "Hello Sandy". Weird to some perhaps, but after reading the story she wrote about her missing cat Orion, I think she would like it. Yep she and I would have been friends if we had ever met. Next year I will again take out my yellowed obituary of Sandy and re-read it. Rest in peace, fellow cat lover. Someday we will meet.
