my beloved cat little miss died on january 1 2006 around 8 pm as i was rushing home from work.  she was with darin and luckily seemed to be peaceful.  she got sick a few days before and we took her to the vet and found out she had liver problems due to feline leukemia virus and we decided to try to help her live.  we had been feeding her through an iv once a day and giving her medicine.  but she did not make it and my heart is completely broken.  what a devastating way to begin my new year.  all i can do is hope for the grace and sweetness of her spirit to stay with me.  we buried her yesterday in a beautiful grave at my mom's house under a lovely oak tree.  we are planting flowers on her grave and painting colorful rocks to encircle it.  i miss this little darling so so much and feel empty right now of my old inspiration.  knowing she was there waiting for me or purring beside me made life so beautiful and blissful.  if you have ever truly connected in your soul with an animal than you know the pain of losing that connection.  sorry to be so sad, all my lovely friends, but i have to try to express myself and be real so i can start healing.  i love you all.
