So long my little friend…..Like a flash you’ll be erased from our memories. Nobody will remember you, nobody will even bother to. Well, very few of them will if at all. To be frank, very few even noticed that you existed, except maybe heard you say “hello” in your ‘meow-ish’ language a few times.
So long my little friend…..It doesn’t matter, neither to us or to you. So what if you would come to our feet for a little cuddle? So what if you were naive enough to not know what danger a moving car possesses? So what if we didn’t know that you were sitting at that corner or maybe we just didn’t care? So what if you were writhing in pain, trying to end it quickly either ways. So what if something happened like nothing really happened ?
You’re at a much better place now. Think about the number of times you got kicked away trying to go close to someone of us for a cuddle. Think about the number of times you tried to say ‘meow-llo’ to one of us only to get shooed away. Think about the times you went to sleep hungry. Think about how many times you had to fight with one of your kind, got bitten, scratched and had your food snatched away. Think about all the hard times you faced, my friend.
Also, think about the good things, my friend. Your kind, well, atleast the ones who used to stay near you will have to share a little less food now. Many of us will be happy that there’s one less of your kind. Many of us will say, “Oh, it’s ok, as it is too many of them are there.” You’re giving us relief, even though you probably occupied a miniscule amount of space in our residential complex.
Don’t worry my friend….You are with your Mother now. The Mother of all. The Mother we’ll all go to. In fact you went a lot less stressed than some of us will go or have gone before you.
Don’t worry my friend….You had the same journey like us, a shorter one, a briefer one, a little less toxic one for sure.
So, so long my little friend…..see you untill we all see you again!
Om Shanti….Shanti Om..?
