In The Mood For

{The bliss of hot lattes and homemade muffins on cold mornings }

I am just glad I have survived another hectic week and I am really looking forward to enjoy a cozy weekend in when weather forecast isn't cheerful at all. For over 25 years I hadn't get close, let alone touch a cat [I was attacked by one in my early adolescence and it scarred me forever - literally also, on my right leg - but about three months ago a stray cat that my sister used to feed managed to give birth in her backyard and that's when I met Tiger [I named him] -  a beautiful white and yellowish fluffy hair ball that immediately got hold of my heart in an innefable way. For almost three months we got closer and my fear/ dread/ panic of cats was overcome by my growing love for this  cute little kitty and I ended up cuddling, nurturing and pampering him. He is gone now for almost a week and I just couldn't imagine how deep I would suffer or how I would long for him to come back. I have lost hope now, but still not faith. Not knowing the end / destiny of an helpless little animal is too painful and cruel. This made me think a lot [being well aware that the scale of comparison is increased infinitely in this case] about grieving, distressed parents who loose their children in the same circumstances - vanishing into thin air. It must be unbearable and insuperable. My thoughts are with them. You will be missed, Tiger. So, so much. Wish you all a peaceful weekend. I'm in the mood for...
