SAYING GOOD-BYE TO BLUE 2/29/2020 Just wanted to check in to say how much the Tarot continues to amaze me. Sadly, this past weekend the time had come to help my precious 15-16 year old Flame Point Siamese cat, Blue transition to the next leg of his journey. He’d been struggling with a neurological condition since late fall—suddenly off balance, finding it difficult to walk and even find his food dish. He still had a voracious appetite, but for nearly 3 months I had to hold him steady in order for him to be able to eat his 3 cans of Fancy Feast a day. Unfortunately, things got really bad for him the last week of February as he had stopped eating and was losing weight fast. Broken hearted and afraid for his suffering, I made the appointment to help him transition for Saturday early afternoon. Needless to say, all morning I kept going back and forth with the decision—should I cancel it? Should I take him? What should I do? As luck would have it, I had just done a Tarot reading for my son that morning, so my cards were within reach. Desperate for guidance, I grabbed my Creatrix Oracle cards and started shuffling. To be honest, I really didn’t think the cards would offer me the guidance I was seeking—it was too important a decision to make, but I didn’t know what else to do. Finally, I drew a card and began crying the instant I looked at it. The card said, “You Hold the Key,” and dealt with issues surrounding decision and commitment. I was so overwhelmed by how deeply this card was speaking to me, I could hardly read the message from the guidebook to my son, I was crying so hard. Here’s some of what the card said: “…You have completed a segment of one aspect of your life…After careful consideration, make a decision and commit to that choice; then move into your new direction. Approach completions/endings with grace and humility as you open the door to new beginnings.” With that, I knew I had to stick to my decision to end Blue’s suffering and help him move on. The whole family was there in the room with him as he passed: both of my sons, their women-folk, and me. It was a wonderfully peaceful transition for Blue and thanks in part to that Oracle card, I know it was the right choice for me to make. I wish you the very best of life and love on this next leg of your journey, sweet Blue. See you at the Rainbow Bridge, my precious, precious friend!
