SHE CAME INTO MY LIFE, RIGHT WHEN MY DOG HAD JUST PASSED  AWAY. I DON’T KNOW WHERE SHE CAME FROM BUT SHE REPLACED THE SADNESS I HAD FROM JUST LOSING PANDA. LAST NIGHT, RIGHT BEFORE SHE DIED, I WAS COOKING, SO I HAD THE BACK DOOR OPENED. SHE WAS STANDING IN FRONT OF THE DOOR, IN THE DARK, A GOOD 15 MINUTES, JUST LOOKING AT ME. I WOULD COOK AND QUICKLY GLANCE AT HER. I FINALLY SAID “WHAT?” SHE JUST STOOD THERE LOOKING. SHE NEVER DID THAT BEFORE. IT WAS ALMOST AS IF SHE WAS SAYING BYE. 10 MINUTES LATER THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED.    LATELY I HAD BEEN THINKING ABOUT WHAT I WAS GOING TO DO WITH LISSETTE. I HAD BEEN PLANNING ON MOVING CLOSER  INTO THE CITY AND NOT A LOT OF PLACES TO RENT ACCEPTED PETS. I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO. THEN THIS HAPPENED. IT WAS LIKE SHE WAS SENT FROM ABOVE, TO BRING HAPPINESS IN MY LIFE AT A TIME WHEN I NEEDED  IT. FILLED HER PURPOSE AND LEFT TO HELP ME TRANSITION INTO THE NEXT PHASE. BUT IF IT WERE UP TO ME, I WOULD RATHER HAVE HER HERE AND STRUGGLE, THEN TO HAVE HER GONE. LISSETTE WAS NOT THE TYPE OF CAT THAT COULD SURVIVE ON HER OWN. SHE WAS VERY SHY AND KIND. NOT AGGRESSIVE AND OUTGOING LIKE THE OTHER ONES AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD. SHE WAS A HOMELESS CAT, WHO PROBABLY WOULD’VE DIED ON HER OWN, A LONG TIME AGO. SHE KNEW I LOVED HER A LOT AND THAT I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR HER. SHE WOULD NEVER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT FINDING FOOD OR A PLACE TO STAY AGAIN. I HELPED HER OUT A LOT. BUT I COULDN’T HELP HER WHILE SHE WAS DYING IN FRONT OF ME. THE PAIN SHE MUST HAVE FELT DURING THE LAST COUPLE OF MINUTES OF JUST BEING HIT AND RUN OVER BY A CAR.         AFTER SHE DIED I DIDN’T WANT TO BRING HER TO THE VETERINARIAN AND HAVE HER CREMATED, NOT JUST YET. I WANTED TO SPEND SOME TIME WITH HER. I WRAPPED HER IN A TOWEL AND BROUGHT HER TO THE BEDROOM. I COMBED HER HAIR, HUGGED HER AND GAVE HER A KISS ON THE FOREHEAD. AFTER A COUPLE OF HOURS I NOTICED SHE WAS HARD AS A ROCK, HER FACE WAS BEGINNING TO CHANGE. IT WAS THAT TIME. TIME TO BRING HER TO THE VET. I PUT HER IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND HER FACE WAS FACING ME. THE WHOLE DRIVE TO THE CLINIC I WAS CONSTANTLY PETTING HER AND AND SAYING “I LOVE YOU”. IT WAS HARD.    I KNOW TO SOME PEOPLE SHE WOULD JUST BE CONSIDERED A CAT. BUT NOT TO ME. TO ME SHE WAS A PART OF MY LIFE. SOMEONE I’LL NEVER FORGET.  I’M SINGLE AND I HAVE NO KIDS. LISSETTE WAS MY KID. THANK YOU FOR THE MEMORIES! YOU WILL TRULY BE MISSED. ❤️
