Don't We All Deserve To Have A Happy Ending?

---

This husband and I…

Set food and water by the dumpster…looked for the poor ragged kitty…couldn’t find him anywhere…walked the grounds…checked the lot next door…when what to our wondering eyes should we see?…

Two other little friends out and about…Mr. Possum, had a little home in the grassy space behind the neighboring Comfort Inn, and Pretty Kitty, sunning herself in the courtyard of the law building now abandoned…

A little community…a little back of the hotel community…lost?…maybe…lonely?…maybe…hungry?…possibly…but connected…connected in their little waif way each tugging at the hearts of two visiting old folks…

Checked the food dish throughout the day…by night it was empty…not sure who indulged…but kept it full…for five days kept it full…

Hoping it was something, not enough but something, to keep that little orange kitten going…but never saw him again…

Tried to give him a happy ending…an in-the-head happy ending…maybe someone found him…maybe someone rescued him…maybe someone took him home…

Worried us will never know…but what we DO know, is that Pretty Kitty ate well for five days…she was the indulger…at least one of the indulgers…

And the beautiful young lady, working the evening shift at the hotel desk and loves cats, promised to watch out for her…take care of her…keep her safe…

Because in a world where things don’t add up…life doesn’t always seem to be fair…don’t we all deserve to find our happy ending?…
​
Of course we do…

And this husband of mine…agrees…
