The hole in my heart.

My skinny, sweet, tortoiseshell cat, Tika, was hit and killed by a car today. She was 8 years old.
 

( It was an accident... )

Over her short life, she had many nicknames, the most prominent and well-used among them being "Tikatu". This is the name I chose when I began publishing things online. It's the name I chose for this journal. And it's the name I'll keep, in remembrance of my sweet Tika.
