It has taken a while for me to post this, as I was having a hard time dealing with it. Dia, my tabby cat, was pretty old. When I moved out of my mothers home, she stayed. I did not want to traumitize her moving. Well, my grandparents got really ill so my mom went to Michigan, and Dia came here to my home so I could watch her. I had a vet appt. to take her in for a check-up and to see how things were going with her. I knew she wasnt well, she was failing, starting to lose her life. Dia passed Friday night, and her appt was in the next morning.
I heard her gasping for air, went into the kitchen, picked her up...and was scared out of my mind. My husband was at work, my mom 1000 miles away....I just cried and cried, and wrapped her in a towel and comforted her. She took her last breath, and passed in my arms. I was so scared, confused, and sad. I ended up calling my mom cause I was freaking out. She walked me through it. Wrapping her up, putting her in a special box, with her special toy. It was very hard for me to sleep that night. I kept thinking any minute now I am going to hear her, and have to rescue her out of the box.
But that never happened. When my husband got home we took her to my moms house, and burried her in the backyard. I made my peace with Him. I gave her a grave stone and some flowers.
I bought an "In Memory Of" bracelet, it has a ball of yarn, a kitty, and block letters that spell out the memory part. And a photo charm, where I have a Dia photo. So I will always remember her.
I know she had a good life, and she will be there waiting for me when I cross that bridge, along with all my other well loved pets that passed before her. At times I think about them, and I cant wait to see them all again.
Until then.....I am here to be mom to "boxer Cain" and "Belle Kitty"
