A tragedy
I don't want to dwell long on this subject because I have barely stopped crying about it all day... Last night I came home from work and briefly popping into the Path and opened the door to find that Sparkle was dead. It was absolutely horrific to see her there and I have no idea what happened to her really. I called JT and he ran home (I couldn't go back inside). We both howled the place down for a while before going to bury her up a hill. Twinkle was utterly traumatised and hid under the bed for ages.
I am absolutely devastated, there is no other way to describe it. She was 8 months old and the lovliest creature imaginable. She really helped me when I was ill and was an animal that could really make you laugh. Some people might think "it's only a cat for goodness sake" but I cannot describe the trauma and feeling of 'horribleness' that is now inside me. It felt like a real attack of the enemy as I had actually had a pretty good day health-wise, better than in a long time. Now I have been catapulted back to 'very ill' status and it is very frustrating, I promised JT that I would try not to let it knock me back health-wise. It is particularly bad for him as this is the worst possible time of year that it could have happened (I shan't go into details, if you know him, you may know why). It has been a horrible weekend and it is nasty going into the sitting room now. I also get nightmares about it every time I close my eyes, which is not nice at all.
On the plus side, our friends have been absolutely lovely, Al and George just took us out for sparklers, an in-car disco and to watch fireworks up the hill and we got in to find that our lovely neighbours had left a box of biscuits and a sunflower card. We have also received some really caring text messages which really meant a lot.

Love u guys...will keep praying that God would give you comfort and help to ease the pain a little. No-one should ever underestimate what losing a pet is like. Give Twinkle a comforting stroke from me. xx
