    Thank you. I sent a reply through messages. The cat has long since returned to my son, but she accomplished her purpose.
    Hugs

This story is very heart-warming and lovely. You described the scenario well where an angel is believed to have intervened in someone's life. I think angels are among us and that they do rescue us sometimes. Your writing illustrates this idea very well. Nice job!

    Thank you, and thanks for the six stars, they are appreciated. This is a true story that happened around 1985. Hugs.

I am so sorry for a loss that can never be repaired. You capture the moments of your thoughts so eloquently. I heard the rustling of the tree and the faint mewing. That moment of realization is all written with heart and depth.

    Thank you. This story is true. It has always amazed me that a tiny kitten was in that exact spot at that precise time. I would not be writing this but for that kitten. It had to be a message from an angel. Thank you for the six stars. I appreciate them. Hugs to you.

Beautifully told! I remember years ago that you wrote about your son's accident but this is the first I read about the suicide attempt thwarted by God and your son and the kitten. Congratulations on the well deserved win!!

    Thank you. It took me a long time to get courage enough to tell people about the suicide attempt. The odds of a kitten being in that spot at that precise time always seemed like some kind of divine intervention. Also, I can't describe the strange feeling of a presence.

    And you can write it again someday but in third person and keep coming up with new ways to describe that Presence.

Oh my gosh, my heart goes out to you for the terrible time you've had to live through as a mother. But the big point of your story is this: you DID live through it. Roy's angel knew you were needed as an important mother-figure elsewhere. Very well written - emotional without being cloying.

    Thank you. It was a tough time but it was many years ago and I have learned to live with it. The kitten lived to be over twenty. The odds of a tiny kitten being in that place at that precise time defies logic. I have thought about that a lot over the years.

    A deeply symbolic encounter with the kitten. Magical assistance to stay alive.

"...died a couple of years (before)..."

The above is the only suggestion I can make for this sublime, uplifting tale. (And I'm not even sure that it's an improvement *smile*)

it is wonderfully penned, and I couldn't read it fast enough, once I began! Best of luck in the contest.

    Thank you for reading and the six stars. I will check out your suggestion and see how it sounds. The kittten was with me for over twenty years. The odds of a tiny kitten being in that place at that precise time are remote. She must have been sent by an angel.

Hello Mystery Writer,
A very moving and believable narrative.
I, too, have had experiences in my life when a higher source saved me/intervened/ allowed me to continue for one more day. Incredibly grateful...

Thank you for sharing!
Best Wishes!

    Thank you for reading and commenting. The odds of a kitten so small being in that place at that precise time was remote. She must have been sent by an angel.

Beautiful story! I liked your opening and how it created an expectation.
My suggestion is to use less 'I did' and expand your feelings during the experience.
Your description of the setting was complete enough that I could picture it as I read. The ending brought good closure to the story

    Thank you for reading and commenting. What were the odds of such a tiny kitten being in that prcise area at that exact time? I have thought about it a lot over the years. The kitten lived with me for over twenty years.

    How wonderful. Sounds like someone was looking out for you.

Oh my, what a story with a very awesome conclusion. There is NO way that kitten could have been out there on it's own--your son sent it. Such a sad story but with an ending full of wonder. Good luck in the contest!

    Thank you. I agree. I always thought it odd that the kitten would have been in that exact spot at that precise time. She lived with me for over twenty years.

    Thank you for reading and commenting. I'm glad you enjoyed the story. It wasn't hard to write because it was a memory more than a story.
