Haley
by Jan .........................................
Haley was born in December. He came to live with a wonderful woman who loved him dearly. She got very sick and was dying. Haley stayed by her side the entire time making sure she was never alone. When she died she made certain that Haley would never want for anything and that is how he came into our live. We foster cats and had just lost one of our fosters when we received a call about Haley. I really didn't want another foster but this was a special case and so we said yes. Ever since then he has been an inspiration to us. He lived life to the fullest. He had to be part of every decision in our lives. No remodeling plans, new roof, gardening project could be started without his approval. He never gave up. The last year of his life was hard. He was losing weight no matter what he ate and he did eat. As weak as he got he still managed to get on top of the washing machine to steal food from the other cats and he made sure that he had his spot on the bed. He was a happy cat and he made everyone around him happy. The last week of his life he was so weak he no longer could jump on the bed but he never complained. When I feel like the pressures of life is too much I think of Haley and how he would sit with me until I felt better. He was and will continue to be my inspiration to live life to its fullest and enjoy every moment.
Comments would be appreciated by the author, Jan
