Death. It will happen to everyone and everything. Some die of natural causes. Some die at the doings of mean, evil dogs that aren't where they're supposed to be. As natural as the idea of death is......damn it why does it have to hurt so much?
My kitty, my baby boy, the old man......Data. He died. Sitting behind a bush near our front door like he always does. Some randomn neighborhood dog got out and mauled him right in our yard. My mom couldn't stop it.
I knew he was getting up in years and I would have to face his death soon, but I didn't think it would come like that.
And does anyone else find it just a really strange coincidence that our topic of discussion yesterday in Death and Dying was the death of a pet?......
Anyway...I am sad. empty. shocked. I especially hate sudden changes and deaths. I deal with that a lot worse than I might. I know I'll move on eventually but for a short while I will grieve. This cat and I bonded. For almost 12 years. That's more than half my life. He came around right after I had suffered loss because of a divorce. He was there everywhere we went since then. He was the first real pet I ever had. Cantankerous old man that he was, I loved him.
Requiescat in pace, Data. I don't know if cats go to heaven, but if they do, I know you're there.
