This is my 10,000 post. I wanted it to be funny but I thought about making it kinda somber.
Why?
Because sometimes when you lose something, you gain something else.
Four years ago I lost something that meant alot to me.
A few months later I found something that has helped me get thru the last few years.
On March 19 2002, my GF went to the Rainbow Bridge. I passed the RB offramp twice in less than six months.
Cotober 31, 2001 and on March 19, 2002.
Before my GF passed she told me to take the Edster, She was undergoing chemotherapy and wasn't able to be around cat litter.
What did I know about cats?
The Edster came to live with me in late January of the year..After a little bit of sorrow, I went in search of cat websties.
I came across Pet of the Day (don't ask me how.....I can't remember!)
I learned about the Rainbow Bridge here.
And I learrned that there is a road that goes past that turnoff in the road of life.
Sometimes it's a rocky road.
But the farther you travel and the more people you meet on your journey, You find that it's not a road least traveled.
I would have never met, conversed or shared so many good things on this site had I not lost a very important person in my life.
Soemtimes, I wonder what things would have been like had I not been a "loser".
I didn't know what lay ahead of me on March 20, 2002.
Had you told me it would be a white cat, an internet site about animals and a bunch of animal crazy people, who are truly some of the greatest beings on the planet, I would have rolled my eyes and laughed.
Sometimes losing isn't the end of the world.
It just brings you the part of the world that you would have never seen, otherwise.
Thanks to Karen, Paul and to all of the members of POTD.
You all rock!
