It has been 7 years since darling Mousie crossed the Bridge. Another lifetime ago. I always wonder if she knew she was loved. Cats are curious creatures. I believe this is why 1 year is equal to 7 years for them. They seem to hold knowledge and they are ever so sentient. They feel grief, loss, and love as we do for them. Her people told me once that when they came home from holiday and she saw them instead of me, she moped off and hid! They even rang me to ask if she was okay during my stay. She was fine, she just missed me. </b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><b>Although I do check in here from time to time, I always get choked up as it is like stepping in to my past.

It is then, when they are in freefall, that they boomerang back to you. I do not try to remember of forget the time, as choosing to remember or forget is a wasted discipline. I have said before and I will say again, time marches on and waits for no one. I walk by her house on most days, so in a way she’s constantly there. It is very telling that over the Jubilee weekend when the nation was in a rare celebratory mood, I ran in to a mutual friend of the family.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">It has been 5 years – five years!
since you’ve gone. What a time it’s been. Not good times not bad times, just
time. They say that time heals, but I don’t know how true that is. Time brings
sadness, and as the saying goes time waits for no one, and it won’t wait for
me. It costs nothing but it is the most precious commodity. The time I spent
with you was like silver and gold wrapped up in a ball of fur. Priceless. I
walk by your house almost every day. Strange to think I had a mini-life there.
When that ended, it was definitely a timestamp of all change. A whole section
of life ended when you went. I remember the day vividly as it is etched in a
corner of my mind. It’s like a scratch on a nice table that has now become part
of the table, so you just leave it there. Moving forward in life isn’t always
the positive experience that it is meant to be. Standing still is no use, and
going backwards is toxic. No wonder most people go backwards! <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Time. I ran into her ‘beans a few
weeks ago. They looked older. It was nice to see them. You weren’t mentioned as
there was no need. You were our only connection. Silent acknowledgement was
enough. We exchanged pleasantries and went on our way. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Time. It is symbolic to me that
in so many ways I had to learn to stand on my own two feet, and you had four.
And you were having trouble standing. It brings me peace that from the moment I
started looking after you all those years ago I was acutely aware that our time
would be short, and I never, ever took it for granted.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Hi Guys, </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">it's been a very long time since I posted here. I do check in to the other blogs from time to time, but haven't posted myself as it's been part of my healing process in moving on. It seems like a lifetime ago - and indeed it was. I do think back to those times as I don't need to explain the world was a more benign place than it is now! When things get to much I believe the mind tries to heal itself by reverting to happy memories. For me, those memories are of Mousie. Due to the lockdown, I avoid taking the bus home from work so I walk 4 miles. I have a lot of time to clear my head. I finally walked by Mousie's house, something I could not do for ages. The family lives quite local to me, I had just avoided walking by and took a different route. I thought it would upset me, but it felt good. It was like and envelope had been sealed. I know that is a strange description, but we all have memories and pockets of time that we associate with different things. I realise this is descending into psychobabble, so I will just say that it was the right thing to to.</span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">3 years ago today, Mousie went to the bridge. I am always reflective on the lead up to this, because unfortunately this date runs very close to my own birthday. So much has changed, and as I've said before, not always good. I do miss parts of my old life although there is a lot of things I am pleased are gone. Mousie isn't one of them. Her death seemed to have been the cat-alyst to these changes. It's as if her passing started an avalanche in my life. The worst thing is, I knew it would happen as soon as she was gone. She was symbolic of a snapshot of time. And I have so many snapshots of her. Here are a few:</span></b></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This one is a bit blurry as it is off of a very old nokia, I reckon it is circa 2011. It brings back a memory of babysitting and sleeping on the couch. She is making rolls on my leopard-print pyjama bottoms which I still have. If you enlarge the pic, you can see she is drooling.

<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">In 2015, I was babysitting Mousie over the holiday period. It was Mew Year's Eve and I was cooking and watching tv in the kitchen and had the back door open so Mousie could run in and out as she would always do. She was a bit slower and cautious than usual, and she had a bit of a serious expression on her face. I was standing there and we both looked at each other, and I said to her: 'Mouse, this is our last NYE together, isn't it?'. I just <i>knew</i>, and I could feel it in my bones. I had a bit of a panic and then sat down. She jumped up on the kitchen table and she sat and stared at me as if to say 'pull yourself together'. We just sat for what seemed like forever, then she jumped off the table and I stood up and continued with my meal prep. It was almost like when you watch a film and hit the pause button, like a moment frozen in time. It has taken me 2.5 years to write about this situation. But sometimes you just know things. </span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Hi everyone,</span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">On Sunday it was two years since Mousie passed away. I think about her often, and was in 2 minds as to whether I should post or not. Grief is a strange thing. on the one hand, you need to grieve as it is a process. You also realise that at some point you have to let go and move forward, which I, as most people have (reluctantly) tried to do. </span></b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> Then there is the other side of grief, where it is a given that you must hold on to your memories, because that is what you have cultivated with those who have past. Memories are supposed to bring you happiness, but ultimately they bring you sadness, so grief is a lose/lose situation! </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">As with everyone, so much has happened in the last 2 years. There is definitely a void where Mousie was once. I do not do any pet-sitting anymore, as that part of my life is gone and I don't believe it can be re-created. I have found a cat friendly street near my locale, and always make a diversion in that direction when I walk home, so I can have a catch up with the local kitties, so there are a few new furry faces in my life. </span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Sometimes, when Mousie was laying there, exhausted from taking a nap, eating, washing etc., she would do this half purr/half meow that kind of sounded like a hum. It went like this: MMMMMMmmmmmmmMMMMMm. Like she was kind of moaning, but not in pain, and at the same time wanted to meow, but couldn't motivate herself to open her mouth. It was like a hum - but pathetic! At the end of making the sound, she'd sometimes partially open her mouth and go, 'mah'.</span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">As some of you may or may not know, August is a tough month for me. Mainly because this was traditionally the month I would spend the most time with Mousie. Her 'rents would go on various holidays and I would be summoned up to the house to babysit the fur baby. Last year was tough. Since she left, my own life has changed in so many ways that are too weird, and not relevant to this blog! But, there has been more than one occasion that I've wished I could go and see her as that would give me at least a couple of hours peace. </span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">After Mousie ditched the last one like a hockey puck, I went and bought a new one. Same brand, lower model. Admittedly, I had never warmed to the camera, and soon after I got my phone which produced higher quality pictures of my muse, or should I say my - mews. I played around with it for a while, but the focus was so-so and the colour quality was okay. Kind of like when you see those pics in hairdresser shop windows that have been there for 20 years. As usual, the subject of the pictures win the day, as it was extremely hard to take a bad pic of Mousie. </span></b></div>
