Oscar's Angel Kisses
I thought I didn't need another cat but then
Oscar came into my life. We met at the local animal shelter and
became friends for life. I was still grieving over a great loss in
my life and Oscar made it his purpose in life to help me heal.
Everyday he would wake me up by looking down on me until I woke up
and then he would ask for his breakfast. He never minded the fact
that I worked odd hours and never seemed to be on a routine of any
kind. He just made sure that he made my life happy. He would always
greet me with his bumps to my forehead which my husband dubbed
"Angel Kisses." That's how I knew he was happy and how I knew that
he was telling me that everything was ok.
Over time, as Oscar got older, his movements became slow and his
activity level even slower. I knew that it was just a matter of time
for him but no matter how Oscar felt, he always woke me up looking
down on me, ready to give me an Angel kiss as if to say "Good
morning."
One Sunday at church, I asked God to please bless Oscar for
everything he has done for me. After all, Oscar had been moved
across state lines, moved from house to house 7 times and not once
complained or shown his displeasure. He always let me know that he
was happy to be by my side with this angel kisses every morning.
After I said my prayer that Sunday morning, I came home with my
husband and went about our day like always. That night as I went to
bed, Oscar fell asleep next to me. When I woke in the morning, Oscar
was gone. He wasn't there to wake me up or give me an angel kiss. He
peacefully slipped away in the middle of the night.
I think that Oscar always knew what his purpose in life was and that
was to help me through a tough time. My husband and I now have our
first child on the way, due in July, and I think Oscar felt that his
job was done. He saw me through that darkest days and helped me to
see the light. Once he realized that the dark days were over, he
felt he could finally rest in peace. A few days after Oscar passed,
my husband told me that Oscar is with God and giving Him angel
kisses. My husband also said that Oscar will never stop looking down
on me from Heaven and making sure that all is right with my world.
I miss him a lot and sometimes I still cry but I know that my angel
is finally at peace and happy with a job well done. And I wouldn't
have it any other way. We will always love you, Oscar.
