First of all, I want to thank Angel Buddie for the rosette, my special angel friend Miss Mittens for the rose, Da Tabbies O Trout Towne, the family of Midnight, Popeye, Peanut, and Angel Sammie, and the family of Rex, Mugsy, Max, Simba, Angel Sadie and more for the kitty hearts. If I have overlooked anyone, I certainly appreciate all of you thinking of me on this day.

Today was a difficult day for my mom. She and dad talked about my last day with them before they took me to the hospital. Mom keeps reliving what she wishes she had done differently. I know Mom has made peace with it but sometimes it comes back to make her think some more. That's why she's so overprotective of Ashley & Tony and why Tony's CRD diagnosis was such a blow.

I watch over them, and they seem to be doing well. I like to visit Ashley from time to time. She really loves our mom. Tony does too, even if he is daddy's boy. I was partial to dad because we watched so much sports stuff together. Daddy is so funny. It makes me MOL! Sometimes mom and dad will smile and talk about how I would calmly lick my paw and wash my face while he was fussing at a bad referee call or bad play by an athlete or whatever. I knew he wasn't fussing at me. Trust me, I had enough of that when I lived with Kisa-Angelo. By the way, he turned 11 today. My mom e-mailed my former mom, now my aunt, to wish Kisa a happy birthday. My aunt & uncle are coming to see mom & dad soon. I'm glad. My aunt even said she missed me today.

Thanks for thinking of me. I love you mom and dad, please smile when you think of me. I have so many wonderful angel friends here. I will see you again one day. Love is forever.

Your Callie Jo

My momcat does the same thing, wonders what she could have done different and remembers the sadest day of her life when I crossed the bridge. It's not easy for our humans who loved us so much to let go. We are thinking of them and purring/

Our mom's and dad's will always love us, we take a little peace of their heart when we go to the bridge but one day we will be reunited with them. Your mom and dad are such pawsome kitty pawrents they should never blame themselves

Ditto. Mom still goes over it and over it in her mind and wishes things had gone differently. It's probably something she'll never truly stop feeling.

This was such a beautiful diary, and what a hard day for them. Mommy could hardly read it without tearing up as well. Purrs and hugs to your family Callie.

My mom had a hard time typing my words, but she takes comfort knowing so many dear furriends can relate to how she feels and genuinely care.

I meant to say in my diary that if I failed to thank anyone who left me a present, I sure do apologize, and please know how much it was and IS appreciated.

I want to thank Hazel Lucy, Sadie, alley cat angel, and sweet girl Alex for stopping by to read and comment on my diary. My mom teared up reading your kind words, and they mean so much to her. She takes comfort knowing we all will be together again someday, and what a special pawty that will be.

Love,
Callie Jo
