Time is passing by and each day, I still miss her but I know that her time was up......
I was taking some pictures and saw the ones that I took of her on her last day. She looked so
tired and uncomfortable. I knew it on that day but looking back, it all came to me again.
Loosing her was more difficult that I realize. You know in your heart that they are here for such a short time but you can get "greedy" and want more. She had no more to give. Alex is doing his best to fill her big role. She loved to cuddle as she got older. She would groom us too......

I feel bad for others who have lost their loved ones at the holidays. Everyone around is so happy and full of celebration. My sister in law's son passed in September and she will mourn him every day. He didn't live a full life. His family is having such a difficult time. He had young children. I am grateful for my children who are healthy and must remember the good times...Natasha was my sweet cat but she lived so long and gave so much...for that I am extremely grateful. She was an easy cat until the last two years. My grand daughter who is in the picture with Natasha wanted to know how and why Natasha got her wings. She understands and was so sympathic. Now, poor Alex is getting his exercise while she is here. He is good with her. He will get a play mate in the Spring....by then, things will calm down and our hearts can open again.

Now, to get more Zealies to give gifts......It is good to give and wish everyone to have a happy holiday.....Next year will be a better year and an exciting year of new experiences as each year is......I would never trade those years with Natasha and glad to have them.....Thank you Natasha for spending and choosing your life to be with us......Your family.....

The days and weeks after are very hard. We know it's time for them to leave and we say goodbye and let them go and know we did the right thing . . . but there's a big gap in our lives and hearts and we miss our furbabies and always will. It's painful and takes time . . . Alex is helping your heart to heal and is making his own special, unique place in your heart.

Wishing you and your family a healthy, blessed and happy new year!

Love,
Miss Mittens (and Kaci & family)

Purred by: SKIDS KITTY gone, never forgot (Catster Member)

Oh we so remember the days and weeks right after Skids went to the bridge and the same as you we can still (years later) look at her photos from the last few days she had with us and it shows how very tired and ready to go she was. My heart goes out to you and we think of you often. The cuddle time with skids was something I miss so very much every now and then one of the current kitties here will cuddle but not like skids kitty moma did...
So very sorry for the loss your family has experienced. My brother died at a young age and I was a teen ager, I watched my family struggle to survive and stay together as a family. This was over 32 years ago and my mom says she knows she survived it only by God's grace and knowing He was there to help her heal. Mom said this to me as we talked one day shortly after we had held a little burial for my skids.
I know some times I get a little wordy. Purrs and prayers to you and your family, hoping the upcoming year is better than ever!I just know it gets better 2008 was the year we lost skidss and both my grandmas, and my husband's sister, and several other family and friends. 2009 my sister had twin boys and they are such a joy and of course that was also the year we took in the kittens and oh it was so much fun watching them grow. big hug to you Natasha's mom.
