This weekend on Saturday, my wife and I took our very sick cat Cocoa to the vet. She had to be put to sleep. She was our familiy's first cat and we had her for almost 17 years. I held her as the vet put her down and she faded out in my hands. Our good old friend was gone in three seconds. Gone. We did it out of love to ease her suffering. Is there any thing that can be learned from this experience? Yes. Yes. Yes.
1). We need to appreciate and celebrate our pets as long as we have them.
2). We need to be grateful for every little thing we have
3). We need to maximize our life to its fullest, because everything ends.
4). We need to surround ourselves with love, joy, humor, passion and people who will help us live with love,joy humor and passion everyday.
Every now and then we need to be reminded.
Thank you Cocoa- sleep well.
