Lovely Cat. Made me think of a passage from Meg Mason's Sorrow & Bliss as her friend explains...

“There’s no shame in it, none at all. Even now I find myself recalling the years I was married to Diana with immense nostalgia. Per the original Greek definition of course, which is utterly unrelated to the way members of the public use it to describe how they feel recounting their school days.

Nostos, Martha, Returning home. Algos, pain.

Nostalgia is the suffering caused by our unappeased yearning to return, whether or not the home we long for ever existed.”
