i am mojo!

My mom told me today that Raul, Oolie, teh Black Freighter, had gone away and wouldn't be commenting on teh blog nemore. I axed her where did he go that he didn't have teh innernet axcess? They got it almost everywhere u know. And she looked v. serious and said, "Mojo, life is a great big Circle, and u comes from Nature and you lives in teh World a while, and if u is lucky u lives with ur family in ur onetruehome, like Oolie did. Then after awhile you goes back to Nature like teh trees and teh water and teh grass. And that's where teh Blk Freighter is now, and it is a sad thing that he can't talk to us no more but it is teh right thing bcause it is all part of teh Circle."

I said, "Is he comen back, though, after a while in Nature? Like u and Dad comes back from trips?" and she looked v. sad and said no, when u goes back to Nature again u cannot come back, but it is part of a good and normal progression of things and is just part of Life.

I said, "If that is true I don't like it. I think LIFE SUCKS if after awhile u has to go away to be in Nature where there is no innernet and no way to talk to ur friends." And she said, "I know it is hard, buddy. It's just... there are things that ur peeple can change, and there are things that ur peeple can't. And this is bigger than all of us, bud."

I said "I still don't understand it. I am tryen to make sens of it and I don't understand how it works. I want it to not happen. I want somebody to make it not happen. I want teh Black Freighter to email me from Nature and be here again."

She said, "I know, Moj. Everybody feels the same way. But this is one of the hard things that we can't change. But... Black Freighter is still here in the World with us in a way, because we all remember when he lived here in the World with us, and we will talk about him, and tell stories about him, and look at pictures of him, and he will always be here with us that way. You will remember him, and I will, and ur Dad, and most of all his Typer Ape, and his own Mom and family, and Buster and Freeway and Downyflake and Miko and everybody who got to know the amazin Black Freighter. Keep him in ur mind and in ur heart, bud, and a part of him will always be here in teh World with us."

He always calls me Little Cousin did u notise? Here is a secret I never told u: We is not blood relatives. But he always calls me Little Cousin wech is v. generous on his part.

I axed if he was happy livin in Nature, and Momsed, "Yes, Mojo. It's the right plase for him to be now."

He is teh Greatest Tuxedo Cat Ever and my mentor and my friend. And if he can't come back from Nature - which is NOT FAIR - I will keep him in my memory and in my heart like Momsed. I hope that is teh right thing to do, to do right by him. Cause I want to.

Because he is teh most awesome cat ever.
