A sad passing......

This past Thursday afternoon my new daughter, Jennifer, had to make the awful decision to put her cat, Dimitri, to sleep....I can only imagine how difficult and abrupt the decision was for her....as she has stated, he didn't die alone in the woods....I am also gratefull that my son and she were together that awful moment and that they have each other to grieve with....That's what Deep Love is all about......I am also deeply saddened that I won't be able to meet him as he was to be one of two new "grandkitties"...My eyes are presently tearing up.....I have my own special cat, Hayley.....She is just about my best friend....Her lungs are damaged by the drug fumes we were often subjected to at our last place of residence and she has wheezing spells.....When I realized that her nine lives would be shortened and not likely to last 20 human years as I was counting on....I was so distraught but had to let go of that fact and accept that the only time we needed to concern ourselves were the shared moments we have each day....She's approaching 11 years of age and I can't imagine what I'll do without her when the end time comes....I truly hope that I won't have to make the final decision but I know I'll always do whatever is best for her and that decision may very well come..... Dimitri, I know that you are well and happy in heaven....I wouldn't be surprised that you'd be sitting on God's lap just now....
