To the Bridge and Beyond

Thank you everypurr, so very much..

I am overwhelmed by the kindness that so many have shown during this extremely sad and difficult time. So many loving tributes and soft words of comfort even from some that we have not had the purrleasure of meeting.

It means so much, to know we are not alone in our grief, and that so many understand. There is no place like Catster for compassion and I want to thank everypurr who sent rosies, stars, special gifts and pmails. I am not sure I can convey exactly how much it all meant. I am trying hard to send a personal message of thanks, to each and everypurr but I am afraid I will miss some and I don't want anyone to think their special thoughts weren’t read and appreciated.

We miss BBQ so much. He was such a loving and gentle boy. He loved to be brushed and would rub his face on the bristles and puff out his tail in pure pleasure. He loved to have his chin scritched and his purr was the very biggest part of him. We didn't see this coming and the shock waves have still not subsided. I phoned the vet today, and his ashes should be back home with us in about 7 days. I chose a black stained glass container that I can put a picture on the front of, for his resting place.

I found this poem online and would like to share it with all of you.



His Journey's Just Begun

Don't think of him as gone away-
his journey has just begun
life holds many facets
the Earth is only one

Just think of him as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years

Think how he must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away

And think of him as living
In the hearts of those he touched
For nothing loved is ever lost-
And he was loved so much.

- Ellen Brenneman


Until we meet again BBQ, we love you sweet boy!
