Time To Say Goodbye

I just totally lost my whole blog entry when I highlighted it and hit something!! DAMN AUTO SAVE!! Sometimes you just arent that good!

Its been 6 months since my fat kitty Sidney died...and it was a tough time for me - It was a day I had vision a week or so before hand happening...and I refused to believe it when it did happen. I found it hard to bury my kitty, for the fact that all my life my mum was the one who took the cats to the vets to be put to sleep and my dad was the one who buried them - however with Sid he was killed straight out, so Mumma was out of the picture in needing to take him to the vets, but I wanted my Daddy to be there to bury him....and I rang and I begged for him to come and bury him but he wouldnt come....so I had to do it myself - I had my nephew Michael helping me bury him.....

Anyway - when he passed away Rob told me I would have to make a scrapbook page (lol you know me to well dont you Robbie hehe...) and so I have finally done that - of course I still need to do an actaul page of him (and all my other cats - the dogs I have done though!). But yes the layout of his funeral is complete, and my sister I thank for taking the photos from that day knowing I am a scrapbooker...

Now I know some people thinks it is very morbid, and I know someone commented on my taking a photo of my kitty when he was dead...and I couldnt care any less of what they thought - they are obviously scared and put off by death. It is part of life, it should be embraced. I have alot of friends fr0m high school who take hundreds of photos of their family funerals, and they have massive funerals the Pacific Islanders....but having said that my good friend and hair dresser also had alot of photography at her husband's funeral....(it is all part of her exhibtion in the Waves of Grief)

Anyway - this page came about based on a challenge set last weekend by Fiskateer Lead Rebecca for the Aussie and Kiwi members, it had to have something to do with Time in it...(as we live in a different time zone lol) and so this is what I did for the challenge - and I just read that I won the challenge...

That kinda makes me feel good - though I swear someone else would have won, they have such fancy and nice papers and lovely embellishments, stuff that not even my student allowance would be able to afford...

The joys of being a student...! You have to make sacrifices..
