In my Heart Forever-Announcement of Winners

THEME of Contest:
Our Beloved Pets

Short Introductory Story

Before one year I had a cat with name Netty. She was calm, graceful and very cute. Because I live in house with a garden she often went out and enjoyed at the garden.
I remember well, one day somewhere near the evening she come to me on the couch. I was cuddling her soft fur and enjoy in friendship with her. Shortly after that she wanted to go out and I let her in the house yard. My mother and sister were in visit at my house then. While we chatted pleasantly my daughter came back from a shop. I heard her how she calling me that I must see something outside. I went outside and in that moment my soul was broken. On the street, near of my house was lying Netty. Some insensate person crush her with car on the sidewalk. Interesting, it was on sidewalk and not on the street. O my God...I said that million times in that one second, the pain what I feel then was immense. I picked up her body, she was still warm. From one healthy and happy animal that person made dead creature. I will never forget my Netty, she entered deeply into my heart. Every time when I see her photos I feel sadness. She will be part of me forever.
