Goodbye to my little lioness sister: the kindest, most obedient and playful "human" I've ever seen. She was taken young, so I bet she is chasing sparrows over the rainbow bridge. (2018 -- 2026)
Farewell, adieu, अलविदा, また今度, until we meet again.
Gott ist tot.
Deeming this "transition of power" as "a good move" (in Paris earlier) without mentioning the rabid elephant in the room is.. a choice.
