A couple years ago I took in 3 kittens at 3 weeks old, mom died. One didn’t make it thorough the night, another lasted 2 weeks before passing. It was a gutting heartbreak. The 3rd kitten is a big fat strong girl who only lets you pet her when she’s sitting inside a cardboard box. Life is hard, it’s also beautiful. Currently nursing my elderly mum with dementia after a fall that fractured her hip. She’s asked me 11 times in the last 25 minutes where her ‘2 pink things are’ - a pink shirt I took off her to wash this morning. Saying goodbye slowly. Life is bittersweet. Full of pain and meaning. Especially in today’s world. I love you for taking in that kitten and giving it a fighting chance. I feel your pain xx
