The Awful "E"

The Awful "E"

To be human is a wonderful thing.

We seek love, companionship, comfort, acceptance and compatibility.
We eagerly gravitate toward siblings, search for a partner, are consumed by children and live to share.
It is not until you allow yourself to be chosen by a furry addition ~ a pet ~ that your life takes on a whole new meaning.


It is an unconditional acceptance.
It is a whiskered face plopped on your knee, hanging on your every word, so intent on pleasing you and giving a paw to prod you, a lick when you're lacking, a nudge when you need it. And . . . in return . . . just feed him, pet him, walk him, and come home to him.  Whether you leave to get the mail, or spend a week on vacation, that you've come back to him is all he wants, all he lives for. He exists to improve your life, to give you love, to help you move from day to day.
It is a thrumming purr to soothe your frazzled nerves. A sweet nuzzle to avert your attention from a bad day. A reminder that someone needs you that helps you move beyond your own troubles and into that world of loving another creature with reckless abandon.

And then . . .

The Awful "E"!
When you being human means you have to be humanE!

When you have to voluntarily remove all those joyful things from your own life.

When you have to let all those things you fell in love with, leave.
But you know . . . with every tear . . . that that "E" is also about all the things they have given you that you now have the chance to give back as they cross that Rainbow Bridge.
