I adopted my cat years ago.

I  adopted my cat for two years ago on Craig's list after her previous owner had died and his widow couldn't keep her.
In the past two years, on top of the joy she brought to me and my family, I feel I've  learned so much from her, love, respect, responsibility, commitment. More importantly, I start to understand how fragile life is and how important to appreciate every moment of it.
I am grateful to her unconditional love to me, someone so flawed in every possible way.
