166. Describe a memory from 2014.

Hey guys. I just wanted to say that this is really personal to me.

It was April 28th, 2014. The last day I would see Michael, my biological father. I was also worried about Isaac, my cat.

After having him for two years, he finally had shown signs of fleas. We gave him Hartz Ultra Guard. Biggest mistake ever.

The day after he got his medicine, he always sat by the bathroom door waiting for us to take shower just to drink the leftover water.

Blood in his gums were so red, they looked black. He didn't even want attention anymore. He had to eat soft food which made his crap stink even more.

So on April 28th of 2014, I walk out to the living room and see Michael staring at something. I follow his eyes and immediately see what he's staring at.

Laying in front of the door is Isaac, on his side, looking lifeless. I rush over to him, dropping my backpack behind me.  There was one thing I noticed immediately. He was crying*. He meowed and his voice was hoarse.

Five minutes later, I left for school. I was never good at school. Especially in the 8th grade.

I come home and see Mom vacuuming. She stops and rushes over to me, hugging and crying. She tells me that Isaac had died.

She takes me behind the shed in the backyard. I cried there for twenty minutes. I went back inside and Mom said that Michael had taked his favorite tiger blanket, and wrapped up Isaac in it. He had also tooken Isaac to the vet to put him down.

I set out that day for an hour and come back with my hand bleeding. I had found roses and took a bunch so the thorns dug in to my hand.

I placed them on the makeshift grave after my hand got bandaged. After that, I was so depressed I broke up with my gf I had at the time.

I wouldn't even eat for two weeks. I had no appetite. Normally, Isaac would always have tried to beg for some but he was gone.
