Every life , even a cat, is a gift from God! She brings us a joy,a happiness, a concern! Further more , she brings us a companionship, wihich need no languange to conmunicate; which no emotional, silently, but very warm companion like a famlily.
Evrey life will end, we cannot control. From born to decease, it is a Journey of life ! This journey might be short, it might be long, we can not project its time, we can not stop its footsteps either.
The most important, and the most dearest thing is that during the journey, we enjoy all the time spent together, we taste the bitter sweet the life gave us, all those happyness, the depress and the sad times we go through. All those memories are like a book, a book hiding in our heart, we can read it with smile, with tear, and with our missing.
Treasure each day being together, lean against each other's shouler, counting on each other, when the day comes, we can face it bravely.
This story is about a cat named Wolly, and her owner H and M, their hanging on for 23 years! To me, it is a beautiful story of 23 years long journey being together. Wolly actually has a long name - Wollstonecraft。 They called her Wolly or Woli. In the afternoon of Dec 13, which was Saturday,H sent me a message that Wolly was gone at age of 23, in pease, hold by her dad. I told H, do not be sad, she is an angle, an agnel named Wolly fly away! There is a new shinning star in the sky, that is Wolly.
23 years ago, M and his ex-girl firend owned Wolly and other three cats. After breaking up, the ex giril didn't bring any cat with her, she left behand all the responsibilities to M. Imagin that the yong man, tried to make living, build up his career, the 4 cats must give him lots of restriction, he could not work too far, he could not rent an apartment he liked, if pet not allowed. Although the dificulties he might face, in his mind, he never ever had a thought to leave his cats. He moved from one city to another, finnally he settled down in the states. 10 years ago, he met a lady, who beautiful inside out, together they took care those cats and other dogs.
Four month ago, Wolly was sick, very sick, that night M didn't go go bed. Instead, he lied down on the couch, holding Wolly in his chest, like hold a baby , the next day, he took her to the Vet, put Wolly into an intensive treatment and intensive care. He was not only tried to save a cat's life, but his family, his little girl, with whom they spent 23 years together! Vet didn't give them firm hope that Wolly could survive. Many cat owners would put down the cat, anyway, she was 23 years. M chose bring her home. Wolly was very weak, they hope Wolly at least could wake up and say goodbye to them, but Wolly didn't want leave! She would fight her life to get back to her beloved dad and mon. The first week, she coudl not eat herself, M had to feed her manually. Her breath was very weak, but tried very hard the first week, then second week, the miracle happened! After that, Wolly could climb stars, ask for treats, she also made mess, but she was just a happy cat! Time flied, four happy months passed away。
Not too long ago, she was sick again, same Vet check, same home intensive care, they
didn't care waht would happen, every sigle day would count! That Saturday afternoon, they went to grocery, they even bought the smoked salmon for her. At meantime, Wolly was very weak, it was the time for her leave. Without say goodbye to Dad and Mom, she would not go, so she tried, tried very hard to hang on, hang on... She must see them last time, so she tried and tried again, finanly they were home! Finally she coudl look at them into the eyes: Goodbye Dad, Goodbye Mon, thank you for your love! Thank you for giving me a fulfilling long life. Just in a few munites after their home, her breath started weak, weaker, and faint. M did not put her down to floor, nor to the couch, like four months ago, he himself lied down onto the couch, he hold Wolly into his chest, right on his heart, warm the little body which was starting cold. H gently rob her check last time, Wolly struggled to answer her touch, and to answer their love last time. Wolly gone! She had enough warm from M, enough love from them to feel no cold to that journey, her spirit was flying away!
The third day after Wolly gone, M left home made a business trip, he told his wife that he had thought that he might bring Wolly to travel with him , because he must be there for her when the time coming. It seems that Wolly read and understood his mind, she didn't want M do this for her, so she left before M's business trip.
This story is not about the sadness, nor grieve! It's about the love, the affection between the cat and her owners; it's also about the kindness and unconditional care the owners give to their cat! While I am writing and paste these photos, I was interrupted by my own tears couple of times. I was so touched by these photes, touched their love, their affection, touched by their 23 years company and confort each other. I am also touched the way M hold Wolly, just like holding a princess.
I wonder they must have lots of happy and fun, as well as the challenge and lonely days. I believe in those lonely days, they watch the sky, watch the stars, they expect a promising tomorrow together. I also believe that during 23years, they must have many many stories, the stories maybe humble, just little things, but is a family story, a beutiful memory. A memory put into their heart, a memory carved into their brain, they can always review it with happy, with tear, and forever missing!
I'd like to tell H, to tell M, Wolly is an angle, an angle never dies! I also like to tell them, that Wolly comes from the nature, now she is just back to the nature! Each morning when you open the door , she is the morning breeze, gengly touch your face; each noon, she is the sunshine, warms your body; Each rainny day, she is the rain drop, wet your cloth. She is just everywhere, she will lives in your heart forever!
Now her little body grows little wings, she is flaying into the sky.
Every day, every night, she will fly over the house. She will say: Hey, dad! Hey mom, Hey my little friends! I am fine, I have no pain, no sorrow. Be happy, everyone!
Dear Wolly, Rest in Peace!
