Laying the groundwork for a miracle

Since my cat, Sylvia, passed away, I've thought a lot about the song, "Even A Miracle Needs A Hand," from the Rankin/Bass Christmas special, "'Twas The Night Before Christmas."  Since 2010, Sylvia required a special type of cat food.  For the last two and a half years of her life, she went to the vet for fluids to help her kidneys and an appetite stimulant pill.  I gave her additional prescribed medicine at home.

All of it was absolutely worthwhile.  Thanks to the animal hospital staff's efforts, my efforts, and Sylvia's cooperation, we were able to extend her life for over two years.  That miracle needed a hand, and I'm grateful to everyone who provided one.
