Cats ...

When I was eight , I found a stray cat in the park . I brought it home to take care of it . I named it Snowy because of it's snowy white skin . I hid him in my room as if mom found out , she would throw him out of the house . Years passed and we became the best of friends .

Mom died of cancer years later and dad of heart attack . I did not know how I would have gotten through , without my faithful cat there . He was my pillar of strength .Eventually , things got better . He was my partner in life . My buddy forever .

One day , while we were returning home from a stroll in the park , I walked past an ice cream van and decided to buy some ice cream . Snowy got bored so he went to play . He was just being curious on what is happening on the other side of the road , but unfortunately , a speeding car knocked him down . He was killed instantly . I wondered " How could so many things happen at such a short time?"

I carried his lifeless body to the same park where I found him and buried him there . Though it seemed just like yesterday , whenever I look at the empty bowl during dinner and whenever I walk past the park alone , I never got to do what the two of us did again .

I will never forget the good days we had ......
