It’s not that I haven’t considered it before, the hope that a pet goes to heaven and I will see him or her again, but that thought always becomes intense when I lose a pet. I have had many cats, and this week I had to put an elderly beloved boy cat to sleep. I tried to avoid it. It could not be avoided any longer. And so I found myself reading the poem again, and considering the debate over whether pets go to heaven. Maybe if (hopefully) and when I get to heaven it will no longer be an issue for me, but for now. . . .I hope to be swarmed by the many animals I have lost when I reach my end.

Decades ago, I moved to Los Angeles, California where the weather was more fair, ready to be a lawyer for which I had trained, but hoping to become a writer or radio broadcaster in which I had dabbled in college. The law and a steady income were more practical, but the tug of pure creativity never diminished. Another tug--of the soul--brought me back to my Catholic faith. Time passed with its inexorable determination. An opportunity presented itself to combine my experience of my reversion to faith with my creative side--a podcast called "Ordinary Old Catholic Me".
