Fairwell Caitrin

[Catherine]

Thank-you. Caitrin lived a good life and was a happy snake. She was always well until the last couple of months. She died quietly with dignity surrounded by friends. Now I give her back to Earl. Before the snow flies and the ground is frozen I want to let her body rest with Earl. It is a beautiful fern filled place behind my small pond, next to my Mountain Ash Tree. Jack is there too so they will all be reunited.

I find I am remembering so clearly the day I picked her out and brought her home. She was a classy lady and I always had a lot of respect for her. Go in peace my dear Caitrin. Thank-you for staying with me so long.
