I am so sad.

I just went into my son's room to make sure it would be ready for my biological father's visit next weekend.

Most of you know that my son has been deployed to Iraq. They are not there yet, but they are not coming back home for over a year.

The room was cleaned out and there was a note, a power of attorney, and his suit; just in case.

It is like he is not expecting to come back. He said he cleaned out his room because he knows how emotional I get. He left a key to the locker that his stuff is in and told me not to open it, unless he doesn't come back.

I wish I could see into the future.

Please include him in your prayer. I would be greatful.

Thank you.

Yesterday we decided to go purchase curtains for several rooms in our house. When we got home, we stopped at the mailbox to get the mail and saw a flyer for a missing kitty. The kitty looked adorable, but we hadn't seen it.

We drove the rest of the way home and brought our purchases inside and proceded to hang curtains in my office. While we were hanging them, we had the window open and could hear some pretty sad and loud meowing. Of course we looked out the window and saw a kitty; a kitty that looked exactly like the picture on the flyer. My son and I went outside and while I retrieved the kitty, he went back to the mailbox to get the number of the "owner". Well, my son called the number and they stated that the kitty wasn't theirs. My son said "Are you sure?" because the one we found looks just like the picture. The lady said "No it is not ours. I am looking at it right now."

I fed the kitty some milk because it was hot outside and it looked thirsty, but we didn't have anything else to give it. This kitty is so sweet. It loves to be held and cuddled and meows for attention.

After the kitty drank some milk, we decided to walk the neighborhood to see if we could find the owner. No one is missing a cat. We even left our number on the houses that we know have cats; just in case. We have one neighbor that has several cats, so I just waited to ask her when she got home. She wasn't missing one either, but she did give me some food for our new found friend.

I decided to name it Sami because we don't know for sure yet what gender it is. I still have to take it to the vet to get checked out and also to make sure it is spayed or neutered. We have decided to keep Sami, so today my son and I went to PetSmart and I spent money on good food; both wet and dry, kitty litter and a kitty pan and scoop, toys, anti-scratch the furniture spray and a pretty little fluffy pink bed.

Sami is a real little love and loves to spend time with me and on me in my office. She will be very good company for me while my son is gone to Iraq. He is leaving this Monday.

Well, that is my today story. I just wanted to share it with you. I hope you all have an awesome day.
