‘Animals, flowers, oceans, trees. I am very grateful to all the people who have done everything they can to love me, care for me, and check on me. I cling to your kindness, your thoughtfulness, and your care. I’ve mainly spent the week in bed. I’ve mainly been moving towards the destination.

She said: ‘When my mother died, less than 12 months later, it was Veela who spoke directly and most effectively about the pain she was experiencing. Around that time, he was filming a sci-fi TV show in which he played an all-powerful Terminator who experienced no human emotions.

“In real life, I was struggling to process my mother’s death, but every time I came home from work there was Veela, dancing on her hind legs, demanding to be walked, to be fed, to be held, to be interacted with. with her. Little by little I began to heal.”
