In the absence of our family member: Silka, this is Precious her mom. You have seen pics of me in prior postings . I accompanied my little girl Silka's trip to India to receive Cytotron, (see below) Above is a pic of me with my grandson: Sheen, with one of Silka's boys who looks so much like his Mom-Silka comforting me. Rascal looks more like me. However, we are all very, very saddened!

I Precious, miss Silka sooooo much, I ache as Cia does. So much that I now choose to sleep where Silka's spot is on Cia's bed. No matter how many times during the night Cia seeks me, I return to Silka's spot, including during the day, there I go, because I too am grieving for Silka. Did you know that from the largest elephants to smaller animals, they too grieve and even have mourning rituals?

Yes, we do, because after all we are "persons," of a different species, but "natural persons," nonetheless! We truly are sentient beings-the science is irrefutable.

We are grieving, and Cia our Guardian, is justifiably devastated and mortified, because she will subsequently post how a substantial part of Silka's tumor's blood supply had died off, leading the tumor to die as well. Also post-mortem, contrary to what she was told by docs in the US, Silka's bone was intact, she pulled it out of the boney tumor when it was calcified and it simply slid off showing those present look the bone! Consitent with the MRI in India bone margins were "intact.” Cia's effort to take our beloved family member Silka to India was not in vain in that regard, and Silka’s death was apparently a preventable tragedy.

Therefore, the conclusion of the matter, had Silka received medication to prevent blood clots from the tumor's sloughing off, Silka would still be living today, with the encouraging prospect that the primary tumor was on its death bed. Hence Cia, between her outcries of sorrow is also very angry.

Nonetheless, she will honor our family member with a Memorial to place the World on Notice: that we too are Persons, and that it is high time, that those of the human species recognize our personhood , honor and respect our human family guardians who are equally vested and attuned to us, who form deep meaningful familial bonds, honoring our personhood and demonstrate not only respect, but genuine empathy when these human suffer the loss of our unconditional companionship.

A Teacher of Loyalty, Grace & Perseverance

“Ask an Animal & They Will Teach You”

Job 12:7

We Are “but One Spirit” & Our “Destination is the Same”
