Guest guest Posted May 20, 2002 Report Share Posted May 20, 2002 Sat Nam, Lanzone, I am sorry for your loss. I want to tell you a stroy, this really happened, my little girl, who is now a young woman, at the time she was seven years old, we had a beautiful cat named Shiva, she had big green eyes, and a beautiful slick black fur and a wonderful thick black tail, my daughter found her on the street as a little baby cat, and we raised her from that day, she became a part of our family. One day there was a fire in our building, smoke began filling the rooms so fast all I could think of was getting my little girl out of there, I thought Shiva was already out, by the time we got outside flames were shooting out the top of the roof, we looked around and could'nt find Shiva, my little girl tryed to run back inside to see if she was still in the house, I had to hold her back, the smoke was so very thik and black, if she went back into the apartment she would of been overcome, we both just prayed and cryed, and hope that Shiva got out, after it was over we found out that Shiva died in the fire, we were both heartbroken, but my daughter looked up at me and said Mama, cats have nine lives, Shiva will come back to us, I just looked at her and gave her a big smile, and said yes she will baby, we found a new place to live and went on with life, but my little girl kept saying mom when do you think Shiva will be back, not really knowing what to say, I just told her when its time for Shiva to come back she will just walk through the front door, time passed, she still kept asking me the same question and I replied with the same answer. One day, she was getting ready to leave for school, now I want to tell you about this little house, it had a screened in porch and then the front door. Now I just opened the front door, the screen door was still closed to the front porch, I was calling to my daughter, come on honey we have to go you will be late, I had the front door open, I looked at my daughter and she was laughing, what is it I ask, she said look mama look down, and there she was, a little kitten, right under me, my daughter cried its Shiva, you told me mama when she was ready to come back she would walk through the front door, what could I say, only this time she was all white, with one big blue eye and one big green eye, you could never tell my little girl that was not Shiva come back to us, she said she even had one of Shiva's eyes just to let us know it was her, "out of the mouth of babes" who knows I just know that, that little kitten brought as much love and joy to our life as Shiva, we never forgot Shiva in her past life, but we certainly did enjoy her in her new life. I just wanted to tell you this little story, and to let you know we understand your loss, but you never know, one day when you open your front door, just who might walk in...peace and healing to your heart....from Valerie LAUNCH - Your Music Experience http://launch.
