Today I Remember

How I choose to be remembered- Always on the prowl when I wasn't sleeping!

It's exhausting being Father Christmas!

If She gives me one more organic treatment .........

I Loved This Sweater! I don't care what anybody says!

Today I remember so tomorrow I can smile, so tomorrow my tears will flow with gentle pain and leave my heart less broken.  Today I remember how 16 years ago my daughter and my husband brought a tiny little kitten into our house and I thought no more cats, but then took one look and began to care for one who would eventually care for me.  Today I remember how my Daughter was smart enough to call her Dad for this because she had him wrapped and knew it.  Today I remember how we found out she was deaf and loved her all the more for it.  Today I remember how much she loved to be vacuumed; nothing gave her greater pleasure except nursing on my Husband or Sons shoulders.  Today I remember watching her leap like a deer as she ran when she got out and my son and I gave chase and we realized we could not let her out like the others.  Today I remember her dialing 911 at 2 in the morning and trying to explain it to the police.  Today I remember the endless hours of watching her sit in the sun over the years because we could not leave her alone.  She would raise that tiny little face to the warmth and I swear she would smile.  Today I remember that she started waking me all night long for no reason.  And today I realize that since I was diagnosed with sleep apnea and no longer need to be awakened in the night, she has given up.  She did her job and did it well, those tiny paws slapping my face; and if that did not do the trick well then havoc would rain down.  In either case I would get up and tend to her and then go back to sleep, this would repeat all through the night.  I have more brain cells thanks to her, so today I remember My Little White Knight Sugar.  The Queen of cats afraid of no man or beast her entire life.  She ruled her world and saved mine; I thank you my little friend and love you. Today I remember that if you truly love someone you set them free with no regrets and keep the memories alive.
Live with Love
