“That afternoon after she passed away, I asked that I receive a sign from her. As I shared with you, I played Van Morrison’s records and CDs every evening for her, we had a routine, every evening, I would put her on the sofa on a blanket and sit with her, playing Van Morison, it would calm her and she would go to sleep every time, then at 8:30 on the dot she would wake up and want to go to bed. We also have a radio out in the sunroom where she started sleeping at night once she was blind, it’s an oldies local station and they sometimes play a couple of the more popular Van Morrison songs like “Brown Eyed Girl” and “Domino.” I asked to hear on that station an obscure Van Morrison song, one that they never play, and that would be my sign. That evening, I was compelled for some reason to go out and put our outside cat, Kojack up for the night in the garage, which I do not normally do until around 9:00, but that evening I went out at around 8:30 maybe because it was too painful to be in the house at that time. We have a radio in the garage on that oldies station for Kojack to have something to listen to at night, and when I opened the garage, Van Morrison’s “Wild Nights” was on the radio, I have never heard them play that song, ever. It was one of the songs on the CD I played every night for S’mores. That was my validation.
Thank you so much for your kindness and assistance during a very hard decision we had to make as e did not want our S’Mores to suffer, she made it to almost 19 years old, we are thankful for the time we had with her.”
My favorite Van Morrison song is "Moondance" and I'm certain that Ms. S'mores is dancing on the other side. 💕 In honor of this sweet, beautiful, kitty and in support of her family, please leave a 🎶 or an uplifting message in the comments below.
