My Alzheimer's Journey
Part 24 - Cat Love
About 4:15 this morning.
Drifting in and out of sleep.
Bella was snuggled against my legs. Big Bit had not returned to the bed from eating a snack.
I was restless.
I listened to the distant murmur of traffic. My mind wandered from subject to subject. I was anxious and worried. Sadness drifted in and out of my thoughts.
Suddenly, my musings were interrupted by Big Bit jumping on the bed. Slowly, I feel her climbing on my side. With precision movements, she lays down on my arm and shoulder.
My restlessness drifted away as I welcomed the unconditional love and solace provided by two cats. I hope they realize how important they are to my health and happiness.
