Today marks the second anniversary of my friend Cat's passing. Friend Cor reminded me this morning with his post of a slide show of pictures taken from Cat's blog. I met her on Yahoo 360 in January 2007 and she passed on April 10th of the same year. In that short time, we made a strong connection. I felt like I'd lost a sister when she left us. She was a kindred spirit. Perhaps her greatest gift to me was her long time friend Skylark. She is now my teacher (though she hates the word) and friend and I love her dearly. She too is a sister. I like to think that Cat smiles down on us now and then, probably laughing at all our foibles and misconceptions while she's busy restructuring the afterlife.Take some time today to remember the kindred spirits who have come into your life, however briefly.

I have heard about her but I wasn't online at that time so I didn't get the opportunity to get to know her. She will be greatly missed by all of her loved ones.
ReplyDeleteOne thing that we can learn from her passing it to learn to let go. The people that die before us helps us to deal with our own mortality.
It was sweet of her, knowingly or not, to leave you with another sister.
ReplyDeleteI have heard of Cat and she seemed like a wonderful person. I remember reading mutual friends' blogs in April 2007 and they were mourning her passing. I was brand new to YH 360 and I remember a regret that I had not known her.
ReplyDeleteShe is a rare find indeed , I can almost hear her
ReplyDelete"Here comes my day" =)
Ah..I almost forgot her preferring to be a wandering mystic.
ReplyDeleteCheryl..can you ask Skylark if she took any pics of the Octopus tree that moment in June?
I don't think she took any pictures Cor. I have some that Manley took, one of the Octopus tree. I'll post it for you. Her ashes weren't scattered under the tree, they were scattered at the edge of a cliff.
ReplyDeletethanks a bunch.
