Blessings to you and your dad, Nathan. Like you, I am Polish-American on my father’s side (maiden name: Michalski) but my faith heritage is Roman Catholic. I am 4th generation. My dad deeply loved cats. I was brought home from the hospital as a newborn and had a cat in my cradle, who purred me off to sleep! We always had our cat family and grieved terribly when they died, usually at an advanced age. Our ancestors left Poland in the 19th century and came to Buffalo, NY. I am working on learning my ancestral language -reading, writing, speaking Polish. Dad was fluent. He helped me with my pronounciation before he died at 89 in 2019. Hanging onto our cultural heritage! The past is easily lost…

Peace & Blessings to you in your grief. We share much.
