2883.0. "We choose to give and receive the best gift of all" by PENPAL::TRACHMAN (ExoticSH=Persian in Underwear) Fri Sep 22 1989 13:22

    A friend sent this to me today - he found it in CANINE.  Thought 
    I'd share it with a 'few' cat lovers.



           "Those of us who choose to surround ourselves 
               with lives even more temporary than our own
            Live in a fragile and easily breached circle.
    
            Unable to bridge its awful gaps,
               We still would choose to live no other way.
    
            Unable to comprehend life's necessary plan,
               We must take our comfort in the knowledge that
            Memory is the only true immortality."
                                         
    
                                                                E.T.

	Elaine, Thanks for posting that, it has taken me a few hours to be able to respond and even now, I've got tears in my eyes trying to respond. It brought back all the pain of losing Fire, and the feelings I had at the time. But he will always be alive in my memory, and in the beauty of his kittens and grandkittens and their offspring. cin...

2883.4		CRUISE::NDC	Nancy Diettrich-Cunniff-I wanted it all	`Mon Sep 25 1989 08:46`	9
	I saw a great Calvin & Hobbes last week. They're sitting under a tree and Calvin says "you know, somethimes the world seems like a pretty mean place." Hobbes replies, "That's why animals are so soft and huggy." Next frame, Calvin and Hobbs are hugging and Calvin says "Yeah..." Ain't it the truth...........(thank God) Nancy DC

	re: all I guess it's like having children - they are on loan to their parents for a undetermined amount of time; hours, weeks, months, years..... I think that life is enjoying what you have when you have it and not spending your time wishing for what you don't have. E.T.
