Laz,
Thank you so much for sharing the story and picture of your beloved kitty. You have my deepest sympathy for her loss, and congratulations that you have determined the elements of God’s will in loving her and losing her.
I read your story last night, but was too emotional to comment at that time. We reluctantly acquired a cat in March. I have been totally gobsmacked over the hold our Bobber now has on my heart. We also have recently lost my 25 year old nephew, and he has not been found yet, so working through the combination of grief and acceptance are moment by moment challenges, and I have been trying to work out the ability to continue noticing beauty, wonder, and all the gifts available to us in this wonderland of real life.
Here’s hoping your own health situation is improving. Thank you again for sharing your story.
Prayers, obviously, for your nephew, that he might be found and be well. Keep hope. Thank you so much for your kind thoughts you sent.
God’s messages to me were clear and ‘loud’, I cannot share them publicly, they are for me alone — but know that now I have an unshakeable belief in a loving Creator and have insight into the ‘whys’ of it all.
I’m very fortunate. Most of us never get what was freely given to me.
(Oh... and my health is on the mend....thank you for your prayers...)
