My furriend from Thundercats Daisy Mae Sunday Times sent me a pretty poem on my bridge day...
On this day of memory
Be sure that I am well
and to you I send my love
As you send yours to me still
Hard as it may be
To be alone this day
Just remember as I have said
Love connects us still

2012 …January 19th…D-Max the Warrior
Today marks 7 years that my warrior D-Max lost the war with FIP…D-Max my special little guy came to me scared and fragile, sickly even in his early days with me…I never knew what was going on but he fought many battles with his health and won most of them with help from first Dr Carolyn and then Dr Steve…
He bravely fought each battle, allergies, asthma, pancreatitis and glaucoma with resolve and bravery…It was not till 2004 that I knew what he was fighting and how to better wage the battle…The war had a name…FIP…Feline Infectious Peritonitis…
I desperately searched for answers and did not like what I read…It is always fatal…D-Max was not ready to give up the fight and neither was I…His next battle was for his eye…He may have lost his eye but he won the battle and thrived as my one eyed wonder, playing with Midnight and just being a cat...In the meantime FIP was lurking in his system ready to mutate to the next stage….
2004 became 2005 and life was getting harder for my warrior…The FIP Was ravaging his body but yet he fought on wanting to live and grow old with his brother Midnight…Monday we visited Dr Steve and the news was not good…D-Max was losing the battle…He got some sub-q fluids and perked up a bit when we got home but by Tuesday evening my D-Max was losing his final battle with FIP...That night we talked and he told me it was time for him to leave me…
With much sadness we made our final car ride and he was set free from his pain…He lives forever in my heart and memory...He is an inspiration…He bravely fought when many would have given up…He lives at Rainbows Bridge where he watches over me and welcomes too many new warriors who have lost the battle with FIP….
Someday there will be a cure for FIP and there will be no more losses…D-Max did not die in vain…He taught me so much in his 4.5 short years…I would not be the person I am today had it not been for him…
D-Max…my one eyed wonder…I love you always and forever…

May 11, 2004...The day I became Mom's one eyed wonder...she made the decision to have my infected eye removed and I was blessed to be with her for 8 more beautiful months...The decison to do this was hard but it was the right decision...If you see a weirdness in your cat's eyes...Have it checked out...Do not wait too long...The pain level was high and the day after removal I felt so much better with the owie gone...

Yesterday was my 6 year bridge day...
First of all I want to thank all of you for the pressies, p-mails, and love shared with me and Mom yesterday...Knowing that I have so many friends makes it easier for Mom....
As I looked down at Mom the night before she was very sad and missing me...
Then yesterday she was remembering me with smiles as she watched the little human and the wee human....
Last evening was Hammock talk at Over the Rainbow...Mom was not going to take me there but at the last minute with a little help from Cisco decided that it would be fun for us to be with my friends....Cisco was all excited about the full moon over his Mom's ranch last evening and Mom was disappointed there was a cloud cover at her house and she did not get to see my full moon....
After we said out good nights she was getting ready to head to bed and went out to make sure the door in the 4 season room was locked...She does not use it much in the winter but for some reason I told her to go check it last night...It was locked but it looked brighter out so she unlocked it and she stepped out on the little door stoop beside the house...(in her jammies and socks in 37 degree weather...MOL MOL MOL)
As she looked in the sky the clouds were parting as if to make a path for the moon and the moon was rapidly rising in the sky so very bright and full...It was glowing....The clouds really parted then and made a circle around the moon that was glowing a bright gold halo and the moon continued up till it was over her house....She stood there and watched me send her my love with happy tears streaming down her face...Fortunately none of the neighbors were outside at that late hour....
I found a way to let her know I am with her always and forever.....

Dear Mom...
I am watching you from my hover cloud this evening...I know that you are having a rough week...Mom I am with you always and forever..I remember that day 10 years ago , October 21, 2000, when you Pops and Kris came to my Ohio home to adopt me...I was scared of leaving my Mommy Cat but you all reassured me that you would love me always and forever and give me a good home...You told me my name was going to be D-Max....Density Maximum...pure black in darkroom photography...
I was supposed to be Pops cat but I had other plans..We bonded and we became soul mates...I am so sorry that I was sick so much of the time but you took the best care of me and did all you could for me with the knowledge you had at the time...
69 months ago on January 19, 2005 we made the decision that it was time for me to make the journey to Rainbow's Bridge...I am now healthy no more FIP..I am running in the wildflower fields with your Daddy just like the dream I sent you soon after I made the journey....
Remember that first picture with pops the day after I arrived in Millersville and how tiny I was...I was and still am your Little Guy....Your One Eyed Wonder who now has 2 eyes of gold...
I love you Mom always and forever...

As my birthday draws to a close and Mom is about to call it a night I first of all want to thank effurryone for their birthday wishes, pressies, and most of all your love...
This morning I visited Mom in a dream...She has been smiling all day knowing that I have 2 eyes of gold and I am healthy and able to run..She was not sure if she was going to share it or not but has decided she wants all of your Moms to know that we are healthy and together...I am going to let her tell it as she wrote it down this morning....
July 25, 2010...5am my dream
I was wandering around an athletic field (the old one at Millersville University) with a fence around it and it was foggy and drizzling and I could not find my way out...
Finally I see a hole in the fence and there is the bridge crosses the pond beside the field and I cross the bridge...
After I cross I do not see the dorms on the other side of the bridge but I enter a huge area that I thought was a tent but the sun was shining brightly and I hear in my head this is it and there were lots of people and cats and dogs inside the area with a young man wearing silly clothes singing...
He finished a song as I sat down and he said we can party with a prayer..Then he took his microphone which was covered with something soft and started another song..I did not hear the song but it was upbeaty and he starts to sing to the animals and one ran across the ground and it was D-Max running ..I said to him do not chase him and scare him and it was D-Max running right to me..I picked him up and held him and petted and he had 2 eyes and then I woke up and laid in bed with the most peaceful feeling, got up used the rest room and came out and typed this up so I do not forget it....
Back to bed.....

Happy Father's day Pops..I love you and miss you....
If not for my Pops I would have never found my furever home with Mom and him..He was the one that wanted a black cat and he convinced Mom that I should be in their lives..I was going to be his cat ...but when I came home I had other ideas and we all know that Mom and I share a special connection..I love my Pops and he loves me and misses me...
I remember those first few nights after the long drive from my first home I slept on Pops neck and ne made me feel safe and loved....
65 months ago today Mom and Pops gave me the final gift they could give me..My health and youth restored..no more sickness...7 weeks later with the help of Mom's Daddy we gave Mom a a special dream..Here it is as she wrote it in her journal...
03/09/05 I did not think that I would be adding to this but it has been 7 weeks since he left me…I was feeling so bad yesterday…Had an unusually bad day…Last night I had the most vivid dream…D-Max and I were in a shed or shack out in a field…He was healthy and happy…We were just hanging out when all of sudden I saw the wall to the shed did not come down to meet the ground and he had gotten out into the field….I ran after him and brought him back to me and after loving him put him in what I thought was a secure place where he would be safe and not get out….I looked out and he was running across the field to a man that I perceived to be my daddy …He kept running…I called to them both to come back but they just disappeared and I woke up… I had a feeling that they were both telling me that they were OK and would be waiting for me… I felt more at peace than I had for a long time but still missing him...He is OK at the Rainbow Bridge and being a happy cat again….When I told Pops he added further that bringing him back into the shed the first time was symbolic of getting his eye out and saving his life the first time…..I had him for 8 more months and he was a happy cat adjusted to being one-eyed wonder but when his good eye started to go he just could not take it anymore and I had to let him go. I miss him so much and I am crying as I type this…but I do not ever want to forget my dream…

Dear D-Max…Today I am sending up bubbles for you to catch in the sunbeams…See how they reflect the light and create lots of rainbows for you and your friends…I wrote this poem on the 21 month marker of you health and youth..I want to share it with you again today with a small revision...
Eight years ago that Saturday in October 2000
With Aunt Rue's guiding hand
We took a long car ride
Came home with you by our side
It was love at first sight
You made our lives just right
We developed a bond you and I
My very special little guy
Then you started that nasty wheeze
We blamed it on dust and too much fresh breeze
But then your eye your beautiful eye
It hurt so bad why oh why
Dr Steve took the owie away
My D-Max was purring the next day
We shared 8 more months of love
Till you made the journey to the Bridge up above
It has been 62 months since I last held you
I feel your being in everything I do
January 19, 2005 when we said our good-byes
Your sight was restored in both eyes
You are very much missed by Midnight your brother
You will always be my one-eyed wonder
Love Mom

Dear Mom....
5 years ago tonight I was on the floor on my heated pad...Mom you were holding me and talking to me..I looked in your eyes and told you Mom it is time for me to make the journey..We have shared a good life and it is time for me to move on...Our time together was short...4.5 years but in that time we shared a very special bond that we still share...
I have been here in the meadow for 5 years...I know it does not seem possible but it is..Mom do not cry for me...Celebrate my life...I will never leave you..I am with you always...Remember the fun times we had together..How I was the king of the house....How I would fall asleep on your legs and they would fall asleep and you would not make me move ....How I helped Midnight feel comfortable when he joined our family...He loves you and I come to visit him to make sure he is ok..
Remember how I liked to play with my weird guy....I know you still have him in your memory box...Remember how Midnight and I would play chase in the middle of the night up and down the stairs...and How we would sleep together in the window seat...This is how I want you to remember me..not as I was those last days..You did everything you could to save me but the FIP was just too much for my little body..
I know you moved to a new house..I have moved with you..Our old house was only a building...I live in your heart not in a building..I was with you tonight as you lit your candles and talked to me...My box sits beside your computer just like it always has and I watch over you and Pops and Midnight...
I love you Mom and I know you love me..Please do not cry..smile as you remember me tomorrow...As my dear friend Ralphie says..Every Day is a gift...I love you always and forever..D-Max
Dear D-Max...
5 years ago...It seems like yesterday but yet it is such a long time ago...Longer than you were with me...The pain has eased but there is still that empty spot in my heart that no one else can fill..when you left you took a piece of my heart...Hold onto it..It is yours to keep and remember me..I did everything I could to save you with the knowledge I had at the time...You have taught me so much and given me so much....Without you I would not be the person I am now....I am forever grateful that you chose me to love and allowed me to be your Mom...I will never stop loving you...Tomorrow as I light your candle I will send you my love and at the same time I am going to bury my grief deeper in my heart where it will remain and I will remember you with love and smiles...I love you always and forever..Mom,
My Dear Brother...
I am sitting here with Mom in our new house...I am so happy that you came to visit me the other night...It was fun running around in the hallway and chasing each other through my cubes just like we used to chase each other up and down the stairs at our old house...I miss you but I know you come to visit me and I hope that the next time you come you remember to hop up on the bed with Mom before you go back up the rainbow slide...I miss you and I am forever grateful that you showed me how to love Mom and Pops..I am still a scaredy cat sometimes but I know that you are watching over me and still helping me....We were supposed to grow old together..I love you always and forever..Medianoche The Pukemeister
