A Time for Mourning on my little urban homestead


There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven.
a time to be born and a time to die…
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance…
[God] has made everything beautiful in its time.
Ecclesiastes 3: 1, 2, 4, 11


Last night my little Angel sprouted her wings and flew away. She came into our family in 1997 as a young kitten when my daughter received her from a friend. After Laura went to college, she stayed with me as I moved on in my life. She has been a faithful furkid for the past 14 years. Remaining sassy to the very end, she had no trouble telling the other furkids who was boss. I have many sweet memories of her and know that she helped me through a very difficult time in my life. Her love was unwavering and she always seemed to know when I needed a hug. So it was last night as I sat and rocked her and held her in my arms as we had done many times before, that she let out a sigh and she was gone. Rest in peace my little one. You will be sorely missed.
