Hello,

My 12-year-old cat, Edie, died this morning.

Dearest Uncle Rick;

As one of somewhat advanced years, living with a chronic
condition which is rather quicky fatal for most katzen, let me
offer my own viewpoint on passing on...

We animals know quite simply and very directly, as humans
sometimes forget, about living and life and the plan and the
Maker.

There is a Maker--all the wonder that is, is no accident nor
chaos. The Maker has a plan, and the plan has no end, and the
plan is life, and life is the plan. Life is not the living of
one or of few or even of many, but the stream and flow together
of all lives and all living--that is life and that is the plan.

Each living has its measured purpose and time. Being born to
living, and passing from it, are both part of the stream of
life--both are part of the plan, and the plan is life, and life
is the plan, and the plan is from the Maker, and the plan has no
end.

So, please, put aside your anger and grief. Look beyond one
instance of living. Look to Ms. Edie's love and what she added
to the whole stream of life, including your living.

I wish you peace and purrs,
Mr. T.S.Eliot, VC

Thanks! I don't know how much of that I belive, but I sincerely
appreciate the thought behind it. The grief is getting better,
though I still miss her being in my lap as I type this.
