RIP TIGEY

So for those of you that read this I chose to put my cat of 17 years to sleep today. She had been getting weaker and weaker and two nights ago she lost control of her hind paws and has spend the past two days/nights just sleeping her breathing becoming more shallow but never fully stopping.
 I went to work today at 6:30 and came home around 12:30 and like usual she looked up at me using all her strength that she still had gave me a lil tigey smile and purred to aknowledge that I was with her. So we left at 12:30 to go to the vet and usually tigey HATES cars and car rides but today she just laid in my lap and slept.. at around 1:00 the vet came in and administered the shot and she winced a lil bit but in about 10 seconds her heart had stopped and she was gone.
 I can still recall many of the details of when I first met tigey i was playing super bases loaded in our other room when my dad called upstairs saying he had a surprise for me. I came downstairs was told to close my eyes and when i opened them i had this BEAUTIFUL lil tabby kitten with a bowtie mustache ( which would become her trademark) and green eyes looking up at me. Well I looked at her and thought she looked like a tiger but was female so I named her tigey.. well she has been with me through sooo many milestones from elementary school-through college, surgeries everything.. people used to say that I was her owner and she was my pet but I disagree with that.. with tigey we had a special connection that only we could share... we just had that connection.
 I know that she is now not suffering and is at peace.. and will continue to watch over me as long as I am alive making sure i am happy and okay.

Update

Well lets see what has happened since I last updated in march. I finally got to go to NYC and visit my sister and it was a wonderful trip, a trip of a lifetime to be completely honest. I got to see 2 broadway shows, went backstage after one of them. Got to see my cousins and visit with my sister which is something that I rarely get to do. I mean as we were growing up my sister and I were never really that close, and it wasn't till I think we both graduated high school and moved out and into new directions in our lives that our friendship took a new direction as well . I mean we have always been close with one another (goes with being twins) but yet, I really think as we have grown and matured, our friendship as gotten much stronger which is a very wonderful thing for me, because she is the best big (lil since she is only 4'11") sister in the world. During my visit we had so many times where we would just sit and talk with one another, just talk about our lives, the d...

How 14 years forging relationships in MLB should help Cora in the first year as Red Sox Manager

 photo credit: The Mass Media How 14 years forging relationships in MLB should help Cora in the first year as Red Sox Manager When the Red Sox hired Alex Cora as their new manager at the end of October, there were many stand out characteristics that the new manager had including his great communication style. But it was his relationships with the players that he was able to form with them that set him apart from the other candidates for the job. Cora who spent 14 years in MLB including 4 with the Red Sox, was able to relate and form relationships with rookies including in 2007 with then-rookie Dustin Pedroia, as well as use his experience to relate to the veteran player like Manny Ramirez.   Cora said this at his introductory press conference, about how he views inter-personal relationships with his players, " But you’ve got to care about each other. That’s the most important thing. They’re human beings, man, and you’ve got to talk to them. You’ve got to see ho...

Its Kinda a Funny Story

I first watched this movie a week after my own attempt at ending my life, and it brought alot of what was going on in my life at the time to light and made me actually slowly appreciate the small things in life that I do have. I have a great family, wonderful supportive friends, who care about and maybe even like me in return. After a friend suggested I rent a movie, I went out and rented this movie again and once again it reminded me how precious life is and how I do have a lot going for me even though sometime I may feel like I don't have a lot going and that my life is in upheaval, that I know that things have a way of working out and that I just need to balance myself between pushing myself to go after what I want and to be patient and letting things come to me. The Phoenix is once again preparing for liftoff
