Death and all his Friends

Death. I always viewed death as something that happens, don't get stressed about it, there's nothing you can do. I'm logical. So thus death takes on a reasoned place. Something of science, or history, an inanimate thing that happens–it is.

But tonight my cat was hit by a car driving down our street. I am not a cat person; but like all things I wanted a dog, my wife wanted a cat. So we comprimised and got a cat. To be honest this cat was not like most cats. He barked, he let me play with him, rub his belly, even let me put him in a box and toss him around. However, tonight my cat died.

Emotions they are funny things. They are not reasoned, or explained and sometimes they just happen. Tonight for the first time in my life I experienced the emotions of death. No words, can seemingly express these emotions. Its a feeling of sadness of memories to no longer be shared. When someone or something leaves existence its as though part of us leaves.

But Death has no friends, the emotions of death are an isolating experience.

All this, to my wonderfully fantastic dog-like cat, and my friend Felix.
