The Power of Mei Mei

During the past two weeks our elderly Siamese, Mei Mei has been experiencing the dying process. She is so weak. It takes all the strength she can muster just to lift her head to get a few sips of water. She can no longer get herself to her litter box. The vet was here on Thursday and told us she had 24-48 hours left. And yet, Mei Mei endures. Is it her will to live? Is it that she's enjoying all the love we are giving her? I've experienced this phenomenon once before in my life when my friend, Susan fought, and ultimately lost her battle with ovarian cancer. The doctor told us she had days and Susan endured for months. These amazing machines we call our bodies, whether it be a beautiful cat or a beautiful person, continue to astound me. What is your body capable of? I'm pushing and testing mine every day in hopes of discovering the answer to that question.
