The Reeve family has suffered another deep loss. Thirteen year old Will must now grow up without his loving parents. The loss of both parents in two years must be devastating for him. I can't help thinking about Dana's reunion with Christopher, and I wonder if that brings their son any comfort. Will is such a bright loving boy and spoke so eloquently on Oprah shortly after his father died. I know he is well provided for and has people in his life who love and care for him. May God bless him and see him through his purpose in this life as his proud parents watch him from above.
My local sadness is regarding the death of a one year old cat who was taken into the care of the humane society about a month ago. He was so badly abused that he could not recover. I was hoping he would recover and I was waiting to hear of his release for adoption so I could apply. I adopted my cat 5 years ago and I love him so much I cannot imagine him being so savagely abused. I have guilt for days if I accidentally step on his toe! Long after he has forgotten about it I am still giving him tuna, salmon, and blowing cat-nip bubbles to show him how sorry I am. The man who abused the defenseless orange-stripped tabby was in court yesterday and is chalking his behavior up to anger management problems and a sudden diagnosis of bi-polar disorder!
The injuries to the cat (do not read this paragraph if you don't want to know) included a split lip, blood in his eye from an apparent head injury, a split ear, a broken tail which had to be amputated, and burns to his legs and feet so severe that some of his toes were amputated. During the latest surgery, the surgeon looked under the burn scabs and realized that they were so deep into the flesh and tendons that some of the injuries could not heal. The sweet, purring, gentle baby was then allowed to die before he recovered from his anesthetic. My heart aches, yet I am relieved he is at peace.
What a horrible life for a devoted loving creature ...heavy sigh...
Life is so precious.
