A little boy asked his mother, "Why are you crying?" "Because I'm a woman," she told him.

"I don't understand," he said. His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will."

Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?"

"All women cry for no reason," was all his dad could say.

The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry.

Finally he put in a call to God. When God got on the phone, he asked,

"God, why do women cry so easily?"

God said, "When I made the woman she had to be special.

I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet gentle enough to give comfort.

I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children.

I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining.

I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly.

I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.

I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed."

"You see my son," said God, "the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart the
place where love resides."

Beautiful. Says it all really. Thank you so much for posting it. xx

Thanks. It was all very quick. I went out to look for him last night, found him lying down by the side of the shed.....he was breathing very ropey so I took him in, rang the vet and sat him on my lap waiting on a call back from the vet and he just passed away

He'd been behaving very strangely for a couple of weeks but nothing that made me think he was ill or in pain.....I actually thought he might have the cat equivalent of dementia. Ive cried and he's resting in the garden now. Im consoled by the fact he had a long and hopefully happy life :A

Yes that's all you can do really isn t it and you were with him at the end.

Died on you? Well, you shouldn't have been sleeping with a cat on top of you should you? It's a wonder you didn't get smothered by the cat yourself!:rotfl::rotfl:

Seriously, best of luck FC and hope you cope with your cat's death.:)

Savvy you do make me smile! As it happens he did actually die on me, as he was on my lap. So you taking me literally on this occasion is correct. However, even if he hadn't actually been on my lap, I'd still have used the same phrase

I spend a lot of my life trying not to use phrases and sayings etc that, when taken literally, mean something completely different. It saves me a lot of time having to explain them to DS2, only for him not to understand anyway! But sometimes the real me just can't help myself
