My 15 year old cat died the other night. It was surprisingly upsetting. I haven't had a pet of mine DIE in years. I've also been fortunate enough not to have many people I know pass away. It will happen though, and the death of my cat got me thinking about it more then I usually do.
Life isn't forever. If you're somebody who, like me, believes in an after life...you understand that life is just a TINY portion of our entire existence. Be proud of what you do in this small window of time. You will regret wasting too much of your time here on meaningless activities. I'm probably the biggest time waster I know, so I think I should take the time to accomplish more or love more or something.
It makes it a little easier when somebody leaves this earth and you're not seeing them around like you used to. They didn't stop existing, their spirit still lives...they're just not physically with us anymore. When we follow suit, we will see them again.
I'm too tired to actually make this sound meaningful.

RIP Whitey. I miss that kitty.
You may not feel awake enough to pick eloquent words or comely sentence structure, but the message rings true nonetheless.
It's odd how moments like this seem to draw our attention to things like death. Not in a bad way of course, just an introspective analysis. Hum. Interesting thoughts.
