I Made It Home

UPS delivered me back home at 7:30 pm. My urn is beautiful. Mommy and Daddy are so happy with it. Engraved on it is:

Rocky Ann
Our Little Baby
1991-2010

And Only Cremations added this note for my Mom & Dad:

I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the stars that shine at night.
Please stand not at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.

I am now sitting on my special shelf. Mommy will take pictures tomorrow.

A huge THANK YOU! goes out to the following Friends for taking over my Groups for me:

Beckham & Family, Lucy & Family, Luke and Tully & Family, Apollo Cream & Family, Kibbles & Family and Pixel & Family. I still need another co-administrator for the HK Fan Club and an administrator for the Cheesehead Group, if anyone is interested. It is too hard for Mommy to keep me active in the Groups now that I am an Angel and I really appreciate these friends stepping up for me in order to keep the Groups going. Again, thank you.

XO

Rocky Ann, that is a beautiful poem for a lovely kitty; we cry anyway; then we must remember you are in everyone's heart, which is where you will never be forgotten. We are happy you are now with Mommy and Daddy every day. Love, and love - Ginger and Tyson xo xo

Mom felt better when Elliott came back to us, too.
We hope your mommy and daddy's hearts are healing and that they can open their wonderful home to a pair of lucky cats soon.
We will miss you, brave girl. Mom says kitties who fight CRF and other chronic illnesses are the bravest kitties. I have FHV and I like to see the v-e-t!!

I put pictures up of my urn and my new resting shelf.

On all the shelves of this curio cabinet are painted cats that Mommy started collecting in Tucson, AZ which is also where I was born. So I will feel right at home on my shelf. It has 3 open glass sides so my pawrents can see my shelf coming down from the Master Bedroom, from Daddy's office and coming up the main stairs.

Peace and Love to all of you,
xo Angel Rocky Ann xo

Welcome back home, Rocky Ann. That is the same poem my Mommy read at my Grandma's funeral. You are now where you belong with the people who love you the most.
We love and miss you and think of you all the time. God bless you and your family, Rocky Ann
Love,
Elise

So glad you are back home with your loving pawrents Rocky Ann. Mommy has read this diary entry and the tears are beginning to fall.

Big hugs and purrs to your pawrents, and just to say we love you RA.

We are glad you are home. Your urn is beautiful. Of course, the poem is so right. YOU are not IN the urn. You are in the sunshine and the air and smiles and purrs and all that is beautiful in the world. Whenever someone or somecat shows another friendship, you are in that gesture. You are peace and love. The urn is but a lovely memorial for you--to honor you. Oh, oh. our eyes are leaking again. xoxoxoxo Nikko and Scooter

Thank you friends for welcoming me back home.

I wanted to let you know that we have a new Angel at the Rainbow Bridge.

So glad your home. What a beautiful resting place for your beautiful urn. But like the poem says, you are in the
glint of snow, the beams of the sun, and will always live in the hearts of your pawrents and all the other people who love you.

What a beautiful urn! That poem is making mom cry, because it reminds her of her last kitty who went to the Bridge years ago (mom put that poem on her kitty's memorial page). I'm glad you're home with your family, both on the shelf and in their hearts.
