Who or what is/was Apache? Calico cat?

yes, spitting image of patches. all the same spots / colors in the same place.
 
It was 2008, Mom was living with me and my sister was in Fl. She was 2 yrs. my senior . we grew up together and were very close. as close as 2 humans could be. She was married and her husband put in jail for hitting her. she was afraid because time was getting close for his release and we begged her to come here. She told me she couldnt handle mom and would be here "later" . We planned to become old maids together. The weekend came and she didnt call. other family members did hear from her though we were worried. Then come my dream. The dream I told mom I didnt want. I guess she couldnt handle it. I had a cat giving to me years before by Kim(my sister) a calico her name was patches. she had been gone many years but this night she paid me a visit. I wasnt asleep or awake. I have heard people call it a lucid dream. But patches was floating to me in the air and her whole left side of fur and skin was missing . I was screaming and trying to make myself open my eyes. I could feel Tom shaking me trying to wake me and I could hear myself screaming but it just wouldnt end. Needless to say after I dont know how long Tom was able to sit me up in bed and it stopped. He had drs. appt. and I took him. dr. admitted him to hospital and I came home. I could hear mom before I hit the top of my driveway. wailing. a horrid sound. I ran in to find her sitting at the table with the phone beside her She called my sister and her husband answered . said if your looking for your daughter check the city morgue. She had been thrown out of a moving vehicle and drug over 500ft. all the skin on her left side was gone. I learned this later from the funereal home . we had her sent here . I put white daiseys on her casket. on what would of been her birthday all white flowers bloomed in not just my yard but every sister I haves. Things that should never bloom white did. even the hydrangeas . On her birthday a man came knocking at my door. He was the dog catcher. He said to me " I know this isnt even my county but I feel a need to stop here and give this to you. Some thing has been pushing me all day and I hope you understand because I dont. " At that point he presented me with Apache. I started crying like a baby and said, I understand completely . So, If I get polish on the 25th (her birthday) and it is white I will know it is but another gift from one that misses me as much as I miss her.

Before it is asked and I know it will be . He walked , no charges ever filed.

I am heading out to try and clean but I will leave you with this thought (Tippy TOO) If something happens tomorrow or next week, will you live with guilt the rest of your days or happy knowing you did your best ? Some relationships cant be saved no matter what you do but at least you can say you tried.
