Today was a good lesson to me in friendship. I don't know if I can remember another time in my life where people have been so unilaterally understanding, supportive, and caring as today.
The very scary and saddening accident with the tiny Dweezil had my soul screaming out for the injustice done to such a little life. Everything I believe in deep in my heart tells me that something so fragile, innocent, and trusting ought to be protected and cared for. Finding myself in the position of being the owner of the foot that landed in one of the worse places it could have, I was having difficulty reconciling that with the extent to which I value life and revile the infliction of pain.

dawnstar, kolys, ecwoodburn, hbbtrbbtbcnbt, and her family all rose to the occasion. I was amazed at how much the simple act of sharing company with caring friends can ease the dispair. Perhaps it has simply been a long time since I've had such good friends around... Thank you. Thank you and big hugs to you all. I also believe that good friends can be as important and as close as family. I consider you all, undisputedly, good friends.
It is an odd realization for me, that some of you I haven't had much time to get to know individually. AIM has helped a lot with that. I can't deny the coincidences, the great conversations, the caring, that sense of connection, or the simple joy of community. The details can, and most likely will, come in time. The heart of it is there. ***big hugs to you all***
I'll keep you posted as to how Dweezil is doing. I love those kittens as if they were my own family. Who says family members have to be in the same species. One look at Minerva minding the little ones and I can sense a kindred spirit. Anything with personality might as well be a person in my mind.
Damn... It is after 3 am in the morning... Lest I be prone to over-philosophizing and just plain rambling I'll cut this short with: ( My results for the purrsonality quiz... )
