The Last Hankie Post

WHAT I HOPE FOR

I hope there is a heaven.
I hope Hankie is there now.
I hope that in his first moment there,
before he even had time to realize
that he was in a new place,
before he even had time to be grateful
that he wasn't blind anymore,
that he wasn't in pain anymore,
I hope that his God came reaching down with both hands
to the tiny parcel of heaven where Hankie was waiting,
and that this God was so beautiful, and shimmered
with such amounts of love and peacefulness and holiness
and so much adoration for the little cat
in front of him, that Hankie knew,
in his awe, that he was home.
