Dear Catsters Kitties
this is written by my furiend Nina to share with all of you
we all feel this with the loss of our kitties, doggies, horses...
"Simon and Ralphie ponder life and what is beyond
by Nina Lyman on Sunday, September 19, 2010 at 11:45pm
Some time ago there were a large amount of cat and dog friends of Simon's crossing the rainbow bridge. Simon and his very wise friend Ralphie, the yorkie angel, have this discussion about life and death and loss and the power of love.They are by the lake in a place called Cobblestone Square....
"Simon is sitting in a quiet spot by the lake. His angel friend Ralphie sits by him and they quietly watch the ripples glide across the water.
"You know how you always say Life is a Gift, Ralphie, well it really is, isn't it, and we should treasure every second of it." "Yes, " answers Ralphie " the gift of life is not a defined space or size..we never know when we are given it how large it is, how long it will last. But, you know, that doesn't even matter...for we can fill a very small space with all the love and life in the universe or, conversely, we can have a very empty hollow huge space that is worth nothing at all. " "ahhh...and then there is the ribbon around the gift" muses Simon 'that is sort of like the Rainbow Bridge, isn't it ... the link to the other side, the ribbon contains the gift of life..the two go together...they are part of each other. the ribbon contains all the memories and the joys and sadness of the life". 'Right "says Ralphie "and when you leave the container of life behind you cross over that ribbon bridge of memories and into the everlasting freedom of heaven, the Rainbow Bridge, where the pain and the suffering and the mistakes made in life are gone and you can only remember the joy you knew in life ..the love.. the happiness. And for those sweet souls who knew no joy in life there will be joy across the bridge. "
They sit there silently. Simon sighs, " Several of my and Marybeth's dearest friends crossed the bridge this week, it has been a week of loss. " "No Simon, you are not quite getting it", says Ralphie, "They are not lost, they have just completed their circle of life, their gift is complete. and now their angel selves can share that gift by spreading love. You feel love in so many ways...we always think love should just be fun and jolly but love is true feeling and emotion...love can be pain and loss and sadness because those feelings make the feelings of joy and gladness that much sweeter and stronger. Love is not easy, Simon, but it is not hard either...Love just is...all encompassing...love is what we are...love is life and love is beyond life, too. So fill our "gift" to full capacity and wrap it in a ribbon with all the colors of the rainbow".
The swans glide by , slowly and there is a ripple wake behind them. Slowly it makes its way to the shore and laps ever so slightly at the feet of Simon and Ralphie. They turn and smile at each other."

Hi there Efuryone!
today is the day before moms surgery and shes in great spirits
she even got stung by a BEE and didnt ruffle her up!
MOL!
moms are the silliest things!
ok why doing an entry today?
well first, for those that dont know yet....I have been trying for some time to meow with Ella who was my girl.
She and I grew apart and didnt meow very often which made me very sad.
There is a reason for efurything tho. And I DO understand that not efuryone here on Catster has the involvement that I do with all things Catster
that said, a while after I had written to my dear Ella asking her if we could just be friends please...I was doing my Angel Squad duties and have been talking to (as friends) Tayla, a very sweet and loving Abby who has been very wonderful to me through so many of her own losses in life, etc.
well, I thought hmmmm I should do it! I asked her out for a date
we had a VANILLA milkshake with extra whip and danced on air! it was WONDERFUR!
we went to the Fall Formal too and it was SUPERAMAZING!!!!!!!
((heart goes pittypatty))
so I went and did it
I asked her to be my girl and sent her a surprise package!!!!!!!
I KNOW she will love it
it has one of her FAVORITE things in it!
MOL!!!
and thats all Im going to say until I hear from her and she can get some of the kitty kisses that I sent in the mail for her!
well, purr for mommy if you can ...shes doing well and WILL do well, but purrs are always great too!

5) when I was adopted mommy brought the papers home from my adoption and the ONLY time that I ever pooped in the wrong place was that first night ON the PAPERS from the shelter...needed to tell mom how I felt about the shelter!
6) I had one vet named Dr Evans in Richmond California who I LOVED and who was the gentlest of vets! he was always cool to see!

Hi there ((paw waving from Heaven))
Im Beaubeau or you can call me Beau or you can call me MR Kitty ...mol
I was very blessed to have found my mommy back in '91 at the San Francisco ASPCA...she wanted an all white kitty and she found ME!
I never forgot how she always was there for me, always included me when she was making jewelry...let me sit on the buffer waiting for her to show me her work after buffing the jewels...
My tail of Devotion spans over many years...
many incidences come to my mind but the ones that mom thinks of are these:
one night she came home from being out very late (1:30am) and came home to an empty house...we had 2 roomates. There was a note on the wall from the youngest and least brave of the roommates that "she heard noises in the backyard and had to leave becuz she was afraid " !?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! anyway, mom came home and I was on Patrol Duty growling at the back sliding door! Most Unusual for me to growl ,but given the circumstances she understood...mom being mom went to the kitchen and whipped out the 12 inch cooks knife and went WITH ME LEADING out the sliding door into the backyard!...there was a large drop off after the decking for anyone to hide so she yelled "you have to know that I have a HUGE knife and know how to CHOP if you want to leave NOW is your opportunity before the police get her...and heaven forbid IIIIII Find you!...well I had to protect my mom!! I walked in front of her growling the whole time looking quite like a bull dog!! WE MADE THE BEST TEAM!!
I looked at mom telling her that we needed to go in and call the Police and lock the doors ...she heard and went inside with me ...I stayed at the back door growling and she waited for the cops to come ...when they did they caught the man that was in the backyard and he was babbling something to the cops about some CRAZY WHITE LADY and her mountain Lion!! MEEEEEE a mountain lionnn!!! The police actually ASKED mom if she had a large animal with her ...she pointed to ME! yes! Im a BIG CAT in a little body!
the Policeman was stunned to silence and said thank you and left with the bad man... I WAS SO PROUD !!! I was a Mountain Lion!!
hehehe
so on that day I earned my right to be a Lion!
Mom already knew this about me but I proved it to the police and the bad man that day!
thats one of many tails that I have to tell of my devotion for my Mommy!
((headbonks))
Beau
This is a special Tail of Devotion
See All Tails of Devotion

Well, today is the day that I past 2 years ago and Mom was REALLY bummed out. I know she knows that I visit in more quiet ways that she has to pay attention to, so I threw her a loop! I sent my buddy pal kid Spot to let her know that I love her and look over everyone from Kitty Heaven!
Mommy was crying a little thinking of me, so I sent Spot to go comfort her. Whispered to him to get up on her in the way that I used to and let her hold him in the way she held me (its very different then what Spot likes)...Mommy heard it right away and cried into Spot's side like she would with me when she was upset or worried about things and just needed a belly to cry on. Spot purred and purred and has become my envoy for messages to mom from Heaven! (lol shes crying now at the thought...arent Mom's silly!)
kitty smiles and purrs from Heaven!
