Ladies of Hive Contest #78 - The special pet in my life.

Waking up at 3 a.m suddenly after a sad dream, I cannot go back to sleep again. That dream just overwhelms my brain with the images of my late pet. All my efforts to get rid of that memories is useless, that is why I decide to write some words until the morning.
To be honest, after reading the content of LOH contest #77, my mind intended to start writing with the first question. But my decision has changed into the question 2 because of that dream.

Pets are a gentle breeze or sometimes a big splash. We would like to hear about that special pet in your life. It can be the pet you had as a child or your current pet.
What do you think about it?

I have dreamed about Miso, he was my pet and always will be my relative in my lifetime.
Miso was the name that my sister named for him when he was a baby.

His mom gave birth 3 siblings, and he was the only one who is survived and stayed beside me over 10 years. He went away from me without saying a goodbye to me or everyone on January this year. He walked with slow steps on the floors, took his final breath and passed away peacefully. Hearing this new from my mom (at that time, I was in the highland to collect the coffee fruit), I was dumbstruck on the tree with a heavy shock. I even could not have a chance to stay next to him on that moment…

We became a best friend when I stayed at home and tried to fight against with depression. Although Miso could not understand what I was saying or understand my language but he absolutely knew that I am not okie at all. He always came over me, laid down, looked at me with eyes full of sympathetic. Seem likes Miso knew all my feelings and mental disorder, when I was up and down, angry or sad in an unsual way.

I did not share my mental illness to everyone even to my family, I have hidden it in the best way that I can do, but Miso was the only one who knew that secret. I usually spoke with him all my feelings. Miso had his own home, though it is not official called a home as others have but Miso was very love that home.

I do not know why Miso could give me the warm feeling like that. Frankly, he does not go to school, he is not taught about psychology, he even could not be educated to have awareness as people, so how he could know when I am sad or happy, when I need to be quiet or even when I want to be alone. He knew everything. For me, he is not simply an animal or a pet, he is one of my relative.

He always knocked my door in every morning with his tails and his lovely voice, I still remember that early morning, he came up with me with the eyes of sadness, I did not notice what happened to him, is he broken heart, or is he not well in his body? I wonder a lot and a lot. He was more quite than usual days. He just went to me silently, laid down on the bed and kept silent. That moment, I understood that animal also has the feeling like human. I did not know what to make him feel better or happy again. I just petted him without saying, we looked each other.

In that eyesight, I realized that people somehows are quite selfish. Some of them always want pet has thoroughy follow what they said, become their possession in some way. I am not saying all people just like that, but in my country, the majority of them will have the thought that possession in mind with pet in particular and animal in general. Everyone on the Earth has the equal right to live, to breath and have a totally freedom, so does animals. Though they do not have awareness or intellectual as people but they totally deserve it.

Thank to Miso, I have learned a lot of lesson through him, understand a lot of the darkside inside my mind, and he was the one who helped me a lot to get over the depression. Miso lived to be tenth. I love you so so much, Miso!!!*
