Story of a drowning kitten

Can you imagine how you would feel... a drowning kitten who struggle so hard for its life, trying to use the powerless jaws on front legs, squeeced as much as possible on the forehead, trying to give all its strength to climb up the side walls of a drain... she was hysterical, breath unsteadily, felt like the whole world is left behind, can't hear or see anything but her focus on breathing non stop. The oxygen can never be enough for the little nose and vein to get the blood stream down, it can never get enough to inhale suficiently... afraid there is not even enough strength to have the heart pumping, the beat is just too fast to catch up forever... this is the time one could wish to have a different system to survive, an alternative other than the heartbeat. She was saved, yet she was shaking heavily. she can't walk but just lied down restlessly. How much she thought she can just stay on the green grass for another one minute. But she was alerted, and she knows she can't, she has to continue the fight.... don't fall sleep, because sleep will never come awake to see the world. So she bearly survived. Struggled again to wake up to see the first light shined through her eyes. She know her destiny and time to wake up. Without delay, she was on the move, one step another, dragging along the weaken body. Just hope this is another day that nobody will see her suffering through. There is no reason to earn pity from another eyes. So she walked straight and see straight, heading the way back home. Imagine of a nice warm house just on the other end of the road, there is no hesitation but dragging along. Soon she know she will be home...

This story dedicated to a special friend who had been through the suffering just like the drowning kitten in his life. So sudden yet no preparation. How many of us can get through? I always felt for people who can describe, because to anybody else the situation is indescribable if not experiencing every bit of it. I believe every beating of his heart is precious and every laughter is wonderful to him and for him...Just hope he can get through the suffering. In God, we trust.
