Gone Too Soon

by

It has been 2 weeks I’ve not pen down anything on my blog. I just shut myself out from the world because it was and it is still very hard to talk about this matter.

2 weeks ago, I brought a kitten back to our home. She’s a tiny little thing and just 3 weeks old. My cousin sister found her barely living in the drain near her house. She brought her to the vet and the vet said it all depends whether she’s strong enough to get herself through as she’s very weak and only a week old and needed her mom to survive. Well, my cousin tried to take good care of her and the kitten clinged on to her life for the next 3 weeks. My cousin asked for help to take care of her as she needed to travel for work for a week. So I took the kitten in.

On this very night, 2 weeks ago, she passed. I came home from work and found the kitten not moving. Till today I still couldn’t accept the fact that she came the night before and I was still holding and feeding her and she’s gone the next day. For the first time, I buried a still and cold being and it was a very, very painful experience. I wrapped her in a towel and said my last goodbye and goodnight before putting her to the ground. I cried for the next God knows how many days..

I guess everything has it’s first time and I believe this will not be the last. I had hope that she would live and I’ll come back from work to feed and stroke her. Least expected that she’s gone so soon. This incident had taught me to value and care for people around me, be it family members or friends. You might not know if that will be the last time you’ll ever see them.

Tough little kitten and she will be missed

 

An addition to the charms family in reminding me the toughness of this little kitten to go through life challenges and never give up till the very last breath
