Flag..

Im sorry for the delayed post.. I got unexpectedly busy yesterday.. so many things to do, so little time…

I was in the middle of an examination when my mom called me. I went out to answer my phone. She was crying and sobbing on the other line.. I freaked out! I was like “shit!! Did somebody die? Or “is somebody ill?”. After for what seemed like 5 minutes of calming her down… she blurted the news : FLAG GOT HIT BY A CAR AND DIED…

I went silent….

Flag.. my pet cat.. my favorite pet cat to be exact (currently, we have 12 cats at home) just died.. how sad… he was such a good cat.. he was the only cat who was able to interact with people without pissing them off. He would jump on your lap and sleep as if he knew that you wouldn’t hurt him.. he knows how to open our door if nobody would let him in.. and he loves to sleep behind the cpu, where he would constantly get electrocuted by the wirings.. (I usually laugh when I remembered these events, but right now, it saddens me..)

I immediately texted my bro and sis bout the accident.. they too, were saddened by what happened… They also liked Flag.. We went home immediately after our classes to comfort mom and to get more details on what exactly happened..

No matter how silly it is for our family to grieve over our cat, Flag became a part of our lives, whether we admit it or not.

I searched on the net yesterday to look for quotes to comfort my mom, and here is what I found. This is from the movie The curious Case of Benjamin Button (one of my faves!). this was during a scene where Benjamin was talking to Mrs maple. about death and this is what she said:

“Benjamin, we're meant to lose the people we love. How else would we know how important they are to us?”

And this too…

“You can be as mad as a mad dog at the way things went. You could swear, curse the fates, but when it comes to the end, you have to let go.”

There.. weird right?
