Four years

Four years. That is how long it has been since I left Mommie to come here to the Bridge. Mommie is staring outside at the snow today with tears in her eyes as she thinks of that day. You see, she still misses me. But she knew then, and she knows now, that it couldn't have been any other way. She remembers how sick I was, and that I didn't want to fight it anymore. So she gave me the ultimate gift of love and arranged for a gentle journey to the other side.
Since then, she has given a wonderful home to three other kitties (I knew it would take more than one to help heal her broken heart). And my beautiful sisfur Bella is still with her also (in fact, she is curled up next to Mommie as she types for me) Together we have watched as many of our friends have made the journey also, and with each one some tears have been shed.
Mommie says it is a reminder to her of the fragile nature of our time together on earth, but is also a reminder of our eternal bond of love.
I love you Mommie! Now and forever!

(Mommie: And I love you BeeJay. You are forever in my heart!

Two years March 9, 2009

Today is my second Bridge anniversary. I kept Mommie busy most of the day, so she didn't think too hard about missing me. But when she came home from work this afternoon, she found lots of our friends had stopped by to offer comfort to her and me. It made her a little sad, but it also made her smile. We have met so many wonderful kittie angels and their humans this past two years. We heard many sad stories, purrrred for many grieving families, cried with many sad humans. But we have also experienced the forever love so many have come to know. We have shared our joys and sorrows, looked over each others new earth siblings, sprinkled angel dust on each others humans.
So I say again to my Mommie, as well as to the pawrents of many of our friends: Do not be ashamed or embarrassed to grieve. Allow yourself time to heal your spirit. Remember we are always with you in spirit because LOVE IS FOREVER! Smile as you remember the good times and the love we shared. Do not be afraid to share that love with others-there are so many who need a loving furever home! And always know that you gave the greatest gift, your love and compassion, and for that we are forever thankful!

One year

First, I have to say that I am sooo happy to have finally wed my beautiful Kate. She has brought so much happiness to me and my family. The wedding was fantastic, as many of our friends were able to attend. Thank you all for your love and support for us.
Second, the honeymoon was wonderful. We flew to Jamaica and spent several days sunning on the beach, dancing to Reggae music, eating jerk chicken and just enjoying being together.
Now I am home, with Kate and the kits. But tomorrow, I am spending the day visiting my Mommie. You see, tomorrow is my one year Bridge Day, and Mommie will need to have me with her. My loving Kate understands this, and is very glad to let me spend time with Mommie.
Mommie, I know how much you miss me, and I will be there for you tomorrow and whenever you need my spirit with you. Our bond is inseparable and I will always be your darling BeeJay.

Wedding this Sunday!!

OMC!!! I am getting married to my beautiful Kate this Sunday!! I am so excited and nervous. I need to write my wedding vows, but how can I convey how much I love my darling Kate. She is my light at the Bridge, that special warm friend that I can curl up with and discuss anything. She is patient and understanding with my kits, she sympathizes with me when I have any concerns reguarding my earth family, she keeps me happy and gives me that "walking on clouds" feeling. I will find words that may be special, and that may adequately tell her how I feel, but I don't know if any words can really display the depth of this love I have for her. But she knows, I know she does, for I can see it in her eyes and feel it in her purrrr. I love you Kate, and I can hardly wait until Sunday. Your, BeeJay

Rescheduled Wedding!!!

I am so very happy. My wedding to my beautiful fiancee Kate is scheduled for March 2nd. We will finally be married. My two adopted sons will be our ring bearers, my little daughter will be the Flower girl. It will be a family affair indeed!! Now I must get busy making plans for our honeymoon. I am not sure yet where we will go. I am thinking somewhere warm, since we both love laying in the sun. I think my Mommie will probably try to help me find a suitable place to honeymoon and hopefully we can send pictures of where we go to our Catster pages. I must get busy planning. I'm so excited!!!

Purrrrrs for my finacee's family

Kate and I have postponed our wedding. We were going to be married on December 9th, but Kate's human Grandpa is doing poorly and her Mommie thinks he may cross to the Bridge soon. So the wedding is postponed for now. I have the whole family purrrring for Kate's family, especially for her Grandpa having a peaceful crossing.
Meanwhile, here at the bridge, although the wedding is postponed, Kate remains by my side-my faithful companion and my best friend-as well as my soulmate. We have just adopted another Bridge Baby (Frankie) and so the three kits are keeping us busy.
I look in on Mommie often. She has been much happier the past couple months, even when she is reminded of me. The memories are starting to be of some of the happy times and not as much of my illness or passing to the Bridge. Mufasa is proving to be a handful (I knew when I got them together that he'd keep her busy!!) but he is also starting to become a much more affectionate kittie lately (I knew he would eventually. Who could resist loving Mommie?)
There have been a lot of kitties coming to the Bridge lately. I try to welcome as many as I can. I hope it helps their families to know that they are greeted by us when they arrive. Mommie helps me type letters to reassure them, she says that also helps her-especially when she misses me.
All my love to Mommie, Bella and Mufasa from BeeJay

Thanksgiving-What are you thankful for?

A couple of the kitties in the Wisconsin Cats Club suggested we write in our diaries what we are thankful for. So here's what this Bridge Kittie is thankful for:
1. I'm thankful that Mommie was able to make the decision to send me to the Bridge, even though it was hard for her. It ended my suffering, and was her ultimate gift of love to me.
2. I am thankful for Catster, where she got support after I had left. Especially for the RBK group. Some of the friends we have made there are priceless!!
3. I am thankful to know kitties and their Mommies like my fiancee Kate, who is kind and loving, my friend Hugo who is supportive and nurturing, my friend Tabby who is sweet and sincere, my friend Albert who is wise and understanding and many others, too numberous to mention. I love you all.
4. I am thankful that Mommie was able to heal enough to be able to share her love with another little furball (Mufasa) and that I can watch him grow.
5. I am thankful for the kittens that come to the bridge that are adopted by some of us here. We want their parents to feel that we are looking out for the babies that come here too soon. Especially my own little ones: Dusty, Tsunami Moon and Frankie.

Purrrrs of love to any cat who reads this. We on Catster have a lot to be thankful for.

Six Months September 8, 2007

Letter from Mommie to BeeJay:
Tomorrow, September 9th, it will be six months since I lost my precious boy. I am having a hard time tonight doing anything except sitting at the computer and looking at his Catster page. BeeJay, you were my best friend for 14 years. My constant companion, my comfort in hard times, my faithful and devoted pal. I miss you more than words can say. I wish we could have had more time together. I am grateful for your last six months, as the vet told me that it was a miracle that you survived the initial illness for that long. When you got sick again, I knew I couldn't put you through any more treatment and that I had to make the hardest decision I ever made for your sake. I hope you know how much I love you, and I always will. Missing you terribly tonight, Love, Mommie

August 18, 2007

My goodness, I really do need to update my diary!! Mommie and I have been so busy, we've neglected it. So here is the news from Mommie's household and from mine at the Bridge.
Mommie's sister passed away on July 14th and so she was off Catster for a week while attending the funeral out east. Since coming back, she has been busy at work and taking care of Bella and Mufasa. Mufasa has taken up tearing the house apart, according to Mommie, and she spends a lot of time fixing his messes (but she still loves him to pieces and says he acts more like me with every passing day-except for the tearing the house apart thing, I never did that!!!)
Here at the Bridge: I have adopted a new kitten, actually she is Dusty's real sister Tsunami Moon. So I now have two kits to take care of. We got her wings and are purrrfecting her flying abilities.
My beautiful girlfriend Katie has accepted my proposal!!!! She has made me the happiest kittie ever. The kits are both ecstatic, they really love her and are so glad to be getting a new adopted Mommy here at the Bridge! We haven't set a wedding date yet, but are thinking about December?
I was voted in as Bridge Kittie of the Week for A-Team this week. Voting has just started for next weeks Bridge Kittie. I changed my picture for the week to the Kittie of the Week one, will switch it back Monday night when the new Bridge Kittie is voted in. Had a lot of my friends at the Bridge that voted for me, they are all truly wonderful angel cats and friends.
I think that's all the news from here. So I'm caught up for now. Hopefully I can convince Mommie that we have to do this more often!!

Happy Bridge Kittie!!!! July 13, 2007

I'm so happy, I'm floating on a cloud!!! I asked my beautiful furriend Kate if she would be my girlfriend and she said YES. She has made me a very happy kittie indeed. Hopefully some day in the future she will agree to move to my cloud with Dusty and me and purrhaps we will become a loving family. The bridge is a very nice place, but it is even better when you have a special someone to share it with. Just thought I'd announce this on my page, so any cat visiting can learn how happy Katie has made me!!
