| Yumi |
My international kitties came from Japan when their pregnant mama kitty got herself caught in a crate of Toyota parts and shipped to the US. Sumo and Yumi were born in route. How they survived is a mystery, but they're the best cats imaginable.
I'm gonna miss them beyond belief while I'm away, but they get to stay home with my friend who's subletting my place and keep catching small wild creatures and sleeping on my pillows. My friend Jim is a self proclaimed dog guy, but if anyone can woo him in the feline purrsuasion Sumo and Yumi can do it.
Everyday I realize a little more what I'm leaving behind, and everyday my gratitude for my home and friends grows. I saw a bumper sticker last night, "What are you grateful for?" What a great question to carry in my heart. Sometimes I forget how fortunate I am.
I am not certain if my heart is breaking or breaking open. You are going to be missed.
ReplyDeleteThey say that it is not until you jump off of the cliff that you learn to fly. Those of us still nestled amongst the crags and crevices are grateful that you are taking the leap and blogging so we can be a "virtual" partner in your flight. Kinda reminds one of a Disneyland ride. May it be an A ticket :-)
I am so glad I snuck the kittens home when you were out of town even though you told me that we couldn't have any more animals. "shard of glass for a heart"...psh.
ReplyDeleteLove you!
