Hey I just wanted to leave a note saying that I might not be updating for a while. I just found out that one of my cats, Bacon, is dieing and needs to be put down tomorrow. I'm too sad to work on the chapters, but don't worry it shouldn't be more then a couple of weeks before I update again, if not sooner. But at least I can say that I helped give Bacon the happiest two short years of his life, when we first got him for my sisters B-day present he was really sick. The vets wanted to put him down then but my mom wouldn't let them. So we brought him home, he wasn't aloud to go anywhere but one room in the house because he could get our other animals sick so I stayed with him in my mom and dad's room for about 1/3 of summer vacation looking after him. I don't think that my sister realized how sick he really was then or else she would have been there too. But he pulled through. Oh, boy what an evil kitten he turned into! The once sweet kitten that would cuddle, purr, and sleep on your chest turned into a crazy wild cat always lookin' for adventure, never purred (except on special occasions), and always getting into trouble. But now he's just like he was when we first got him, weak, dieing, but happy. He's even purring more. It's funny; I remember always getting so mad at him when he would run outside and try to run away I would have to go catch him and my bus was expected at any minute. I guess you don't realize how much you love something until it's finally taken away for you. So listen to my advice, don't take anything you have for grantit because when it's taken away from you, you might just find yourself looking back at a whole bunch of missed opportunities. I guess I can just think of it as a little taste of what Umbri has to go through every day. I love that little cat, and I always will. He taught me that even if the odds are against you, you have to keep fighting and as long as you keep going you'll never really lose. Now that I think about it Bacon will never die because I'll always remember him and I'll pass on the things he taught to me to others. He'll always be in my heart and the hearts of those who loved him. So now I've decided that I'll dedicate this story to him. So, Bacon when you're sitting up on your cloud watching over our family like a mother tiger watches over her cubs (he always thought he was a tiger) know that this story is for you. I love ya and will miss you a lot. You also don't have to worry about being forgotten, because I wasn't the only one who learned something while we were together. You learned how to be unforgettable, just like me! Besides even if I did somehow forget you, WHICH I WON'T, you have four other people who loved you just as much or more as me, not to mention the dog (Izzy) and cat (Claria). So I guess this is one way of saying goodbye to you. Since I'm not sure that I'll be able to say it when the time comes for you to leave us, and I might not be the only one not able to say it so I'll do it for us all. Goodbye Bacon, we'll see each other again someday, but until that day comes know that we'll be thinking of you and you'll live on in our memories.  

Lots of love and thinking of you always,
