II. What you CM's are teaching me about Sophie

[OldnWiseMom]

 I had to cry tonight, while I read your (my cafemom friends) kind and loving words of encouragement and comfort. 

I spent 3 days on my butt--spiraling down, and I got scared, because I do not ever want depression to attach itself to me, eat up my life, and consume me ever again!  So, tonight I got up and got on my computer, and saw that I had some messages, and as I read them, I cried out loud.  God broke through my fear of being alone, and showed me He loves me and is taking care of me, and that He, for sure, beyond any doubt, put Sophie in my life. 

So, my precious friends, God used you to show me that she DID matter, her time on this earth Did count, and that He has not left me alone.

I cry as I write this--THANK YOU so much, you Precious Women, for helping God work this miracle in my life tonight, right now, when things aren't perfect, when I am confused and hurting, and when I thought I was alone! 

God's sweetest blessings on each one of you!

YOU AS WELL ARE A GIFT AND INSPIRATION TO US.  YOUR STORY ABOUT SOPHIE HELPED ME REMEMBER MY SAMMY, A BEAUTIFUL CAT THAT WAS THROWN AWAY.  SHE CAME INTO MY LIFE LONG BEFORE I GAVE BIRTH, AND SHE WAS WITH US FOR 13 YEARS OR SO.  SHE WOULD ALWAYS GREET ME WHEN I DROVE HOME, ONCE I ALMOST DROVE OVER HER WITH MY TIRE, CAUSE I THOUGHT SHE WAS AWAY FROM THE CAR.   OMG, I GOT THE BIGGEST SCARE OF MY LIFE.   SHE WAS OK, AND I CRIED FOR SO LONG THINKING I ALMOST KILLED HER.   UNTIL THEN I DIDN'T REALIZE HOW MUCH SAMMY MEANT TO ME.   ALL THE TIME SHE WAS A CAT I ENDED UP TAKING IN BECAUSE SHE WAS THROWN AWAY, AND THE CHANCES OF FINDING A HOME WAS SLIM AND I DIDN'T WANT HER TO BE PUT TO SLEEP.   PETS ARE GOD'S GREATEST GIFTS NEXT TO CHILDREN.  AWESOME.  AND I AM PROUD THAT YOU ARE COMING OUT OF THE DEPRESSION CLOUDS, CAUSE YOU HAVE SO MUCH SUN LIGHT, AND GOD ISN'T DONE WITH YOU YET.  HANG IN THERE...I'M HERE MY FRIEND.  CSJOY1

Sophie is at peace now, no more pain.  She was a gift.  I know you are hurting because you love her.  I wish there was something I could tell you to make you feel better......it will just take time.
