Thank you Friday…. We will miss you..but you are with us for the

wonderful simple lessons you taught us…

Friday was a 6 month old, adorable street kitten which came walking to our office on a Friday morning as “small fluffy handful” ,perhaps 2

months old. He refused to go. We adopted him. He passed away due to medical negligence…a wrong

surgery and related complications..may his soul rest in peace! …
