I’ve always loved animals.
When I was about 10 years old, my dad bought five chicks for me.
I helped raise them until they were healthy and meaty.
One of them even produced double-yolk eggs!
I also had a kitten, but he sadly died from a severe tummy injury.
Later, in my final year of secondary school, we had a pet bird named Tweety.
It didn’t stay with us for long either; it died right after I finished my final exams.
The grief was so intense that I thought to myself, “If I feel this sad about a bird, how will I ever handle the passing of my parents?”
I swore I would never have another pet again, whether a bird or a cat, because it’s just too sad to lose them.
But a few years ago, we decided to adopt a three-month-old kitten.
I was hesitant, but I felt so strongly about giving this kitten a forever home that I knew I had to break my old vow.
I made a commitment to save at least one kitten from a foster home, and that’s how we found Marcus.
He’s three years old now, and we love him so much.
Don’t let a fear of the past stop you from experiencing love in the present.
What’s a fear you’re ready to overcome?
