Darkness setting in

What do you hold on to when the darkness sets in? When all you see and feel is the darkness enveloping you...you grasp for whatever you can find to hold on to so that there is some semblance of stability....you reach out your hands and you grasp and then realize that all you are grasping on to is the darkness itself. There is no anchor....there is no hold....nothing to stop it from spreading...it just goes on and on until even the smallest speck of light is wiped out and extinguished.

Alfie

I first got introduced to this playful little kitten 15 years ago...he was scared at first but then eventually opened up and started exploring our house. My sister started bringing him over more and more and he then started thinking of our home as his second. He would spend days with us and sometimes when she travelled even weeks and months with us. I grew very attached to him and it was amazing being a part of his journey. A french cat stuck in the hot climate of Pakistan could definitely not be easy for the thick furred Alfie but he got used to it quickly. Though I still remember how he loved to go and sit in th snow when he would be back in his country of birth :)

I'll miss you Alfie...you were an amazingly caring and affectionate cat. You brought smiles to us all and were quite frankly a part of the family. Today, it's like we've lost a family member....one who will always be missed, remembered and loved. Farewell Alfie.
