Six years after the passing of my cat, Sylvia, I'm thinking of one song repeatedly. Mostly, I keep honing in on Rosanne Cash singing the title of her song, "Will You Remember Me?"
I have no way of knowing what happens to us in the next life. I'd like to believe, however, that our pets will remember us and reunite joyfully with us. I'd also like to believe that we'll never be parted from each other again.
In Sylvia's case, that would mean her latching onto me excitedly, the way she did when I said to the Humane Society adoption counselor in 2008, "I've found my cat." It would also mean hearing her musical meow and steam engine purr once again.
Will Sylvia remember me? I can't prove it, but I'm betting on yes.
