sorrel was the twin of my lilly, simba and khuzima. saffira was mufasa's twin, shadow was oreo's, zoe was luna's, moonlight was marshmallow's, milo was coco's, and honey was tigo's. i tried so hard to save them all. i never wanted their stories to end in loss.
i still remember sorrel struggling to breathe bc of liver failure and severe jaundice. i kept trying everything i could to help him breathe, giving him nebulization and oxygen. when that moment came, i even tried mouth to mouth resuscitation, praying he'd come back to me.
i wish saffira could tangle herself in my hair again. i'd let my little menace play with it for hours. i never wanted to let her go, not even for a second. i wish our story hadn't ended so soon.
three months since i lost saffira, my little menace and two months since i lost sorrel. both were abandoned, unwanted, sick little kittens. i tried everything i could to save them, held them close, and hoped they'd make it. but all i could do in the end was bury them
