An angel indeed!

My friend Tyler has joined me at the Rainbow Bridge. We will take good care of him!

Today is sad!

For Murder, in memory, on the anniversary of his passing...

Four Feet In Heaven

Your favorite chair is vacant now,
no eager purrs to greet me.
No softly padded paws to run
ecstatically to meet me.
No coaxing rubs, no plaintive cry
will say it's time for feeding.
I've put away your bowl, and all
the things you won't be needing;
But, I will miss you little friend,
for I could never measure
the happiness you brought me,
the comfort and the pleasure.
And since God put you here to share
in earthly joy and sorrow;
I'm sure there'll be a place for you
in heaven's bright tomorrow...
Alice E. Chase

I miss you my dear little best friend!

One year ago tonight...6-1-08

Last year at this time my Murder was here next to me. I had taken him outside early in the evening on his pillow just to sniff the air and stroke his head. A couple of days earlier the vet had told me that he was not in pain but was failing and that he would not be with me very long. I did not realize that "very long" was going to end a few short days from then. The vet had asked me what I wanted to do...the answer to that was simple...I wanted to take him home...to share his last little time in a home that was familiar to him, being held in my arms...being loved. After being outside for a bit I brought him back inside and laid his pillow with him on it next to me on my bed. I told him that I was with him and that I would not leave him alone. I wrapped my arm around the pillow and pulled him close to me so I could lay my hand on his shoulder, so I could stoke his soft fur. I laid there silent most of the night feeling his chest move up and down hearing his breathing growing fainter and fainter. I began to stroke his head telling him it was okay...it was okay to go. I told him I loved him and that I was going to miss him terribly but that it was okay to go. Suddenly, aroung 2:30 am, I felt Murder shudder and begin to gasp, I held him closer, I kissed and stroked his soft little head told him how much I loved him and said one last time that "it's okay...it's okay...you can go". Murder drew his last breath and I cried. It is amazing how something so small can become such a big part of your life. A part of me died that day...a part of me of me that I miss! The last four pictures of Murder were taken just a day or two before he passed.

My Wings! >^..^< Thank you!

My mommy sent out a plea for help and Muffin and mom answerd it and made me some beautiful wings! See them? Aren't they pretty? My mommy is so happy! She knows I can be free now, free to move on but never outside of her heart. For mommy it was such a difficult time when I passed; her mom had just died and then I left her too. Then, shortly thereafter she lost her best friend, her ex husband. Poor mommy she never had time to even cry but now as she is approaching the anniversaries of our passings she finally has the time to mourn. You see, she wanted me to have my wings before the anniversary of my death so, many thanks to Muffin and mom for allowing her this wish. It may be one small act of kindness but it made my mommy smile!

Mommy remembers Me!

My mommy is thinking about me tonight! She has added four pictures of me that she took just before I passed away. The last three pictures are of me when I was sick and mommy carried me outside so I could sniff the air I had only felt through the screen window and walk in the grass I had stared at from inside. You see, I was an indoor cat after my mommy got me...I never went outside. Then I got sick and my mommy thought I deserved to see, feel and sniff the world I had watched from inside for so long. Mommy misses me terribly...she is thinking about me because the anniversary of the day she lost me is approaching and she is sad.

Christmas 2008

This is the first Christmas without you and you are very missed. I got a little stray kitten shortly after you passed her name is Mayhem and boy is she named well! The Christams tree was put up this weekend and I do not think she will be as good a cat as you were so nothing breakable was put on the tree. She is already eying it as her new toy. She completes the collection...Murder, Mystery and now Mayhem!
