Bridge journey, two years ago today

Dear Friends,

Thank you for remembering me today. Your words are a great comfort to my mom. It has been two years since I journeyed to the Bridge. You know, it feels like it was yesterday that I was home with my family. I had such a long and good life with them. My parents really miss me and I miss them. Please say a special purr for my mom, as she is having a hard time today with missing me.

Love,
Taylor

My Gotcha Day

Thank you friends for remembering my Gotcha Day! Mom was just reminiscing yesterday about how she found Tigger and me in a building, one day apart. I was the reluctant one and didn't want to come out of hiding. Boy am I glad I finally did! I had a wonderful 17 years with my mom and dad and fur siblings. :)

Love,
Taylor

Bridge Anniversary

Dear Friends,

Today is my one year Bridge Anniversary. My mom is reflecting on all the wonderful memories we made during my 17 years on Earth. The pain from tending me during the time I had hyperthyroidism is fading and more positive memories are taking its place. Much love goes out to my friends at the Bridge and on Earth, and their families.

Love,
Taylor

Mama's Girl

Dear Friends,

I would have turned 18 today. Mama is partly happy and partly sad--happy that Tigger, my litter mate, made it to 18 and sad that I did not. Her thoughts are with us both today.

I am looking down from the Bridge upon my brother and sprinkling angel dust, hoping that he can have more days with mama. I miss my family on earth, especially today, as they miss me very much.

Love,
Taylor ^Angel^

Diary Pick!

My diary is one of the diary picks today! Yeah, Mom is so proud!

I want to thank Calvin - Knead on and his sister Autumn for my wings. The picture of me is just beautiful and I am so happy that Mom can see it.

Much love,
Taylor

Hello Friends

Dear Friends,

I want to let you know that I'm doing very well up here at the Bridge. It's wonderful to be with my brother Buddy again and all my friends. One thing for sure, I don't miss taking my medicine at all! And, my mom would love to see how my coat is long and shiny again, and how I've filled out.

My beau Peepers and I are living together now. He chose a gorgeous tree house especially for us. A picture of it is on my page if you would like to see. :)

Love to you all and thank you for looking after my Mom and Dad.

Update

Dear Friends,

We are all adjusting in our own way to Taylor's crossing. Last night I told my husband Mike that I felt like I was forgetting something. And I realized that it was the usual time for Taylor's meds and fluids. When you take care of your loved ones' needs for so long, and it had been going on two years with Taylor, it is something you miss.

I know it isn't something my girl misses; she hated it so! Poor baby did not like getting her medicines, and it seemed sometimes she was cross with her daddy for giving them to her. But we are so thankful there was something we could give her that would let her be with us for more time. I think she forgives us.

Just an update on Tigger...last night he saw Marmelade sleeping in Taylor's bed on the couch and he went over and got into the bed with Marmelade. I was happy to see that because I think it means that he is working through his grief. And, I am glad he has Marmelade; they get along well. Tigger has a wellness check up on Friday and I am going to talk with the vet about his reaction to Taylor's crossing, but I think all will be fine.

Love,
Gina

Dear Friends,

I want you to know how much your caring and love have helped us to get through these past weeks. Taylor is an angel now, her journey to the Bridge was peaceful. I hope it's okay that I share some of it here in her diary.

I had called ahead of time to the vet's office and we had the last appointment of the day, which I am happy for because we had the office to ourselves. We brought with us Taylor's favorite blanket, a dark blue one with paw prints on it, that had lined her bed. I felt that it might comfort her having it, since it smelled like home and her brother Tigger, who also used to share the bed with her.

When Taylor's daddy Mike and I went into the examination room with her, the vet tech had already placed some pretty blankets on the table. I put Taylor's blanket on top so she could lie on it.

I held my girl the entire process, her daddy was by my side. As I stroked her fur and told her that I loved her, her vet, Dr. Ginny, said that her heart was slowing. I told her to look for the light and for her brother Buddy who had passed before her. In a short few moments, she left her body behind.

Taylor's vet tech took her to the back and wrapped her in the blue blanket, as I had requested. She took care with my girl, and wrapped her like a baby. That meant a lot to me.

Mike and I drove home and laid Taylor to rest. He helped me chose the spot. It's the only spot in the front yard where there is grass and the rays of the sun shine down upon it. I think Taylor will like that spot since she always loved to lay in a sunny window sill. It's also the perfect spot to plant flowers and have a memorial place.

Now, I am asking for purrs for Tigger. He is having a reaction to Taylor being gone. He will not lie in the bed they shared, though it was one of his favorite places before. He goes up to the bed, sniffs at it and leaves. It's like he's looking for his sister.

As I've mentioned in the past, he's my velcro kitty. Well now he's stuck to me like super glue. Don't get me wrong, I love having him near, it's a comfort to both of us, but he's obviously in some kind of emotional pain. I truly believe our beloved companion animals feel the loss. It makes me doubly sad for him and for us.

All our love,

Gina and Taylor

To My Dear Friends

Today will be my Bridge date. My parents have done a lot of heart and soul searching about my quality of life this past week. Mom spoke to my vet's office today and let them know that I wasn't getting any better and that she would like them to prepare for my journey to the Bridge. My appointment has been moved to 4:30 pm so that we can have the office to ourselves and have some privacy.

I want to again thank you all for your love and purrs. My big brother Buddy, my beau Peepers, Sally my guardian angel, dearest Rocky Ann, and so many others, I will be with you soon.

All my love,
Taylor
