Today my heart was filled with courage and love. Spilling over, actually.
I laid my tired head on dad's arm and I knew that I was a good kitten. And as I fell asleep I felt the pain disappear. I moved through the weight of the world, over the rainbow bridge, and came out into a field of tall grass that smelled so good and fresh.
I saw tables laden with bowls of tuna and ham falling off the hocks, bricks of salted butter, and slow moving bugs begging to be pawed at. The sounds of birds and a sandy breeze from the ocean filled the air. The SMELLS! I'm home. And I'm young again!
But I miss him already. His shoes, and headbutting his friends at parties. I miss kneading his neck when I'm at my most vulnerable. I miss car rides across Canada, the cats down the hall, I miss my dog friends Coco and Mabel.
But most of all I miss dad. He held me, nuzzled me, I slept on his lap, kept his chair warm. He was always there no matter what. From the day he took me home until today when I left my tired body for whatever this place is - dad was always consistent. I think he might have loved me as much as I loved him. I wish I could tell him that now.
I'll be waiting for him. I don't care how long it takes, I'll be here.
