Life is an impromptu

"A new adventure awaits".
- Marian of Knighton 

Life is like an impromptu, unexpected. The events that take place can sometimes leave us stranded in a sea of emotion and deep thought. When bad occurances typically strike us we feel shocked, overwhelmed, stressed, depressed, angered, and anxious. Our hearts beat faster, our breathing rate increases, our pupils dilate. It's called distress. 

Once more I find myself facing another change, and I am severely distressed. One of my best friends died today. She was the cat I've had for a long time, a cat whom I've had since she was a kitten. I remember begging my dad to go back for her - I picked her because she was different. She was the odd one out. Here we are years later, and she passed away due to illness. I've been lost at sea all day today, this one thing pondering my mind repeatedly. What we have now is an empty room, a variety of pictures, and a pocket full of memories. 


I am slowly passing through the five stages of grief - suffering the most through anger. She was my cat, I promised her she would be okay. The last thing I said to her was "Momo I love you - you're so beautiful." I had no idea that would be the last time I got to say anything to that cat. She trusted me. She always came to me, sat with me. Now she's got and there's this gap, I feel like the wind has been knocked out of me. 


But but in my sadness I do know once thing to be true, she is no longer in any pain. She has traveled to another place, been reunited with Joesph and Rascal and the others. She is in God's hands now. We did  everything we could to help her, but in the end she did not survive. I find comfort that The Lord is looking after her, and that we have been blessed with the memories made over the years. So with this - Momo - I wish you a happy new beginning, we will miss you. You were one of my best friends and I'll never forget you.
