Why are there LOLcats every Sunday? The answer is You.

[PatrickforO]

69. I quite agree with your choice of venue.

I love your LOLcats post and look forward to it every Sunday.

While I did not know the personal story behind why you go to the trouble each week, I deeply appreciate this weekly contribution to sanity.

Face it: none of us asked to be born, but we were. If we are lucky, we grew up in a loving family. If we are supremely lucky, we are healthy. If we are 'out-of-this-world' lucky, we had the chance to get a good education.

Then we work for fifty years. If we are lucky, Social Security will be there for us, as well as Medicare, because these are earned benefits - we bought them month by month over years of working. If we are even luckier, we have a structured pension plan that can supplement that Social Security and Medicare so we have a reasonably comfortable retirement.

Nonetheless, at sometime in our fifties, sixties or seventies, most of us will come down with some awful, twisting disease that saps our very humanity and kills us slowly and painfully.

Then, by the time we die, our estate is empty because the health care system has eked every last bit of money out of it keeping us alive even after we're nothing but an empty shell.

So, in the face of this, how do I keep going day after day?

Three things:
1. Love for my children and grandchildren.
2. Devotion to causes greater than myself, and



wait for it....


3. KITTENS!
