Jersey has quite a “to do” list today!
1. Search for Twinkie-filled Easter eggs.
2. Plot the human’s demise after realizing there are no Twinkie-filled Easter eggs.
3. Take a nap after plotting the human’s demise.
4. Eat.
5. Make a really big poop.
6. Groom self before the party.
7. Take a nap after grooming self.
8. Plot the human’s demise for no specific reason.
9. Throw a party.
10. Send out a giant thank you note.
I’m guessing Jersey won’t have time to fit everything in, so I want to help her out a bit.
For those of you who haven’t read our profile, you may not be aware that we lost our Bugsy to diabetes 10 years ago. When Jersey received her diagnosis this past November, I was devastated. I cried the first time I gave Jersey a shot; it evoked every painful memory I had of Bugsy. In that moment, I promised myself that this time, with this kitty, I would not fail.
This dance is not easy. I don’t need to tell any of you that. Many of you understand that better than I do. The highs and lows, the late nights and early mornings, the costs – financially, physically, and mentally….. At times, it threatened to overwhelm me. And every time I felt that way, you were there…..with a kind word, a funny picture, a pair of patience pants….. Each time I questioned my strength to do this for one more day, you were there to encourage me. You became the one constant in this dance. I commiserated with you. I cussed with you. (Sometimes, I even cussed at you!) I rejoiced with you. I grieved with you.
I also listened to you. I followed your advice, and, because of that, I didn’t fail this kitty this time. I have no doubt that, if it weren’t for you, our story would be very different. I never wanted to dance this dance again, but I am so glad that you have been my dance partners.
Why Jersey has been so blessed while so many other kitties continue to struggle, I will never know. My mom’s words of wisdom do echo in my heart, though. She always told me that God only gives special children to special people. I believe our kitties are our children, and her words apply to each and every person here. You are all extremely special individuals with special kitties who are better off because of you.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you….for all that you have done, for all that you continue to do, and for all that you are.
