My wonderful, intelligent, crazy-hilariously-funny big brother is dying. Last week he was given 24-48 hours, but as of today he's still hanging in there. When he's not altered, he's still cracking jokes and keeping up with the political scene. Those times are getting farther and farther apart....
Anyway, his children from out of state came down to spend the week with him last week. To avoid making his cat a nervous wreck, she was packed up and sent to her 'grandma' for the week. Well, a few days ago my brother insisted that the cat be returned. "I need to see her," he said.
So cat was brought back. We expected her to stay hidden because of all the people she didn't know (and she isn't impressed with the nurse at ALL) but bless her little heart, she greeted all of us, spends lots of time snuggled with my brother, and is behaving like her old obnoxious self. And the comfort she has given to my brother is a comfort to me, too.
Anyway. I don't know why I'm posting this, I guess I just needed to talk about it. I'm thankful to that fat little kitty for making a terrible time just a teensy bit better.
