The Great Leap Forward

My dad left for Clifford School in Guangdong, China at 4:50 this morning. After some final instructions on condo maintenance he gave Lynx a treat, gave me a hug and left. One of the best things about being a Britton is the mercifully short goodbyes.

After the door closed Lynx and I exchanged glances as if to say, “ well… He’s gone. What now?” With that, Lynx knocked the laser pointer off the shelf and looked at me expectantly. “Don’t dwell, move forward!” Cats have good advice.

Good for you guys. Saying goodbye can be horrible and painful for everyone involved. I think both you and your dad will enjoy the change in your lives, regardless of being apart.

And who says cats aren't great pets...
