about six months ago, Allie joined our family as a little kitten. She (really a he, but A like to still call him a she) was quite sick when she came, real little and cute as a button. i think Allie became a good attachment for A here as we started to readjust here. yesterday i wrote about how much i hated Allie's girlfriend... today i found out that cats cry like that when they are pregnant too. uh oh...
we have been planning for a few weeks to have Allie go to A&T's place because our family here is not used to having a cat around. Allie likes to go in their house and sit on the couch and sleep. something they are just not fond of i think. so we've been trying to figure out a way out there. CB a friend of ours volunteered to take Allie. i've been talking to A about how Allie needs to go and help A&T catch mice and maybe Allie could marry the cat there and have babies.
today the day came where Allie left us. A knew that it was the day and didn't talk about it at all, just played. then as night fell and she was getting ready for bed, she knew CB would be coming to get her... so as i was putting A to bed, she starts crying. A didn't want Allie to leave and cried so hard. i let her go out and say good bye, hold Allie for the last time in a while, and then i tried to get her back in the room to sleep and it wasn't happening. everyone came out to see why she was crying... soon CB came to get Allie... A cried and cried. Allie looked a little unsure about what was happening.
finally Allie was gone and A was in bed... crying herself to sleep.
good-byes are hard... especially when the one that got you through the beginning leaves you. hopefully the Lord will open doors for us to get our own place and Allie could join us again, but til then, she has a job to do at A&T's place.
bye bye Allie...
