First off, I am so sorry for your girlfriend's (and your) loss. But, I, too, am delighted to hear that sweet Sammy will have a playmate again soon.
As for the photos, they are amazing. I wish I could take pictures like that! But, you're right, when you're dealing with a loved one and little kittens, it would be difficult not to take a precious photo

!
And, the kittens. Oh, the kittens

. I'd never be able to make a decision -- they'd both be coming home with me. But, since I can play a good game, I would choose Daisy. I'm not sure why, but I am always more prone to pick female pets (though my hamsters are all male and my one kitty, Finn, is a boy as well). There's just something in Daisy's eyes that reach out and tug at my heartstrings. And, that's not saying that Chester isn't absolutely darling as well! See?! I told you I wouldn't be able to choose!
Will your girlfriend be joining TCS? We could definitely use more pics of the kits -- especially the one she finally decides upon! Either way, please keep us updated on who wins the "race." I'm certain that whichever kitten she decides to bring home, it will be loved and cherished...
