forget the reverence with
which ancient cultures viewed
their beloved animals In

passed on the entire family
would come together to pay
their respects in a most
gallant mannerShaving Eyebrows

historical records when an
Egyptian family cat met its
demise every family member
would shave off their eyebrows
as a symbol of mourning This
solemn ritual was not only a
testament to the depth of
their grief but also a
demonstration of their
profound respect for the
departed felineImagine it the
entire household from
patriarch to matriarch and all
members in between bereft of
their brows defining feature

lay bare like a canvas
awaiting the brushstrokes of

that even in ancient times
humans understood the
importance of acknowledging
the loss of a beloved
