License to Be a Hero
I remember the day we met. It’s as indelibly burned into my memory as 9-11, or the Columbia, or the Challenger.

Hannah opened her golden-green kitty eyes slowly and stretched her silky gray front legs out in front of her, yawning wide. Then she noticed she was alone.“Mama! Where are you?” shwww.onedoor.cce called, looking quickly from side to side as she struggled to get her sleepy legs to stand.Last night Hannah had been playing in the meadow with her two brothers, chasing lightning bugs while Mama Cat watched the sun set.
