Sherlock is our cat's name. He is not just a pet, he is a friend, a member of the family. One day he didn't come back home. I used my self-portrait in the style of old Hollywood films and a photo of Sherlock to express my feelings though photography. Words can not help. I think many bereaved pet owners would understand that. I cannot distinguish where I end and where Sherlock begins. He has become a part of me. He changed me. I am grateful to him with all my heart for being in our live. He taught me to love and care. Now I am learning to let him go. Our pets are our grrat teachers. Thank you.
