After driving to the vet, I went into the examining room. The nurse brought Merlin and placed him on an examining table on his side. His eyes were tightly shut. I thought he died already. I carefully edged my hand to reach his body. His body felt warm, but when I spoke his name there was no response. No response to his name or that I was there and that I loved him. I was extremely sad.

　　In that examining room I felt helpless. I wondered how many people in an examining room felt as helpless as I did.

　　Feeling driven to prayer I yelled, “God, this isn’t good enough. I need to see my Merlin the way I remember him, I need a miracle and I need it now！”

　　At that moment, God granted a miracle. Merlins favorite compliment entered my mind. I said, “Merlin, you are beautiful and you are gorgeous, do you hear me？”

　　One eye opened.

　　I said “Gotcha”. I kept repeating those words.

　　Merlin opened the other eye and, one limb at a time, got up. He was waiting for that phrase. He wanted to hear that he was beautiful and gorgeous again.

　　Then I experienced another miracle.

　　There was no sound in that examining room until Merlin started walking to me. From out of nowhere, or maybe from heaven, I clearly heard a song we sung in church often: It Is Well With My Soul. I remembered thinking, “Yes, it is well with my soul. I got to see my little boy cat one more time.”
