It's 5:29 a.m.
I wake to the sound of rain which usually brings me peace.
But now waking is the terrible thoughts of what’s happening.
I’m affraid and I admit it. I hold my cat close to me like a child. I want this to be over.

Hang in there samplegirl. There's still a long way to go in this nightmare.
We need your strength and calmness. Prayer helps, also meditation.
I find it more serene to leave my TV off for at least half of each day.
Play music instead, read a book, go for solitary walks. Call a friend.
and they say "don't stop"
to me. He is so very smart and always has been. When he was a few years younger I would let him out each morning to do his business. Never needed a litter box he didn’t like it. I could call his name and in he would run through the patio doors.
He knows what time treats are like clockwork. He pretty much can tell me what he needs.
When he’s tired he walks to the bedroom. He can’t jump up on the bed anymore so I pick him up and down. He likes me to be near him where he can get a kisses on the head. He has seen me through so much and I him. We are each other’s comfort keepers.
I’m so fortunate to have him this long. I always have him to hug! He’s special for sure!
for the frazzled!
and how many years he spent in prison. I was a young, clueless white girl and knew nothing about him at the time, and yet now his life inspires me when I need it most.
Hang tight and I’ll see you on the other side.
Beautiful kitteh.
My two boys are never far from my side and both affectionate. When I do have to work or venture out, my Siamese is always there to greet me when I return, then chat and fill me in on the gossip.
Take care. 
hangs in there with me!:
