I visited Mama!

Yesterday, Mama was thinking about me alot and I came down to comfort her. We use to listen to John Denver Music all the time together. I asked Mama to go listen to his song called " Prehaps Love". The words are as follows:

Perhaps love is like a resting place
A shelter from the storm
It exists to give you comfort
It is there to keep you warm
And in those times of trouble
When you are most alone
The memory of love will bring you home

Perhaps love is like a window
Perhaps an open door
It invites you to come close
It wants to show you more
And even if you lose yourself
And dont know what to do
The memory of love will see you through

Oh, love to some is like a cloud
To some as strong as steel
For some a way of living
For some a way to feel
And some say love is holding on
And some say letting go
And some say love is everything
And some say they dont know

Perhaps love is like the ocean
Full of conflict, full of change
Like a fire when its cold outside
Or thunder when it rains
If I should live forever
And all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you

Words and music by John Denver


It is Number nine on my Playlist, for you to listen too! Mama was really taken back, for she understood what I was trying to tell her. That she showed me her love by letting me go to the Rainbow Bridge. And how much of a special bond we share.

I Love You Mama!

1st Anniversary at the Rainbow Bridge!

Today is my 1st year anniversary at the Bridge. Yesterday and today was really difficult on Mama. Thank you all my friends for your Love and support, it means so much to Mama and I.

I was trying to help Mama think of the good times. I guess it really is hard on our Families. I told Mama to go back and read one of my past diary entries when I visited her shortly after I past, so she did.

I had visited Mama while she was folding clothes in the middle of the night and listening to John Denver Music, which we always used to do when I was alive. Then the song came on called " I Want to Live". I told Mama I am happy and healthy and I want to live and I want her to to Live and continue going. She started crying, for she felt so overwhelmed, and felt my love and presence. Today Mama listened to that song again, and it helped her, and reminded her of me.

She then listened to the song by Bette Middler, called Wing Beneath My Wings:

"Wind Beneath My Wings"

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
It must have been cold there in my shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.
You always walked a step behind.

So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strength.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.

Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.

Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be.
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

Oh, the wind beneath my wings.
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.

Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you,
thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings.

Mama then said, Thank God for you Sweet Burleous!

Then this evening guess what Mama did for me tonight? She got a special Rainbow Balloon! This evening she went out to my grave for a few minutes, took some pictures. My brother's Rusty and Magic were by my grave, which made me feel good. Mama then sent the balloon up to me here at the Rainbow Bridge. When I got it, I noticed, she had written on it, and it said.... Burleous, Mama misses you and Love's you Very much! Mama I Miss you too, and love you! I will be waiting for you.

Love,

Burleous

MEMORIES of my Sweet Boy BURLEOUS!

Memories of Sweet Burleous written by his Mama.

When Burleous first came to my house, it was on Dec. 12th, 2007, 2 days after Amber had passed away. He did not look very healthy. After a few days he came up on the front porch, and I was able to check him out. Then we fattened him up. He did not like other animals, especially dogs. He did not want to come into the house. At that time we had 4 dogs.

Burleous stayed outside on the front porch and hung out in our front yard. He was very independent, and did not play with any of the other cats.

When I moved last December for a few months, he came with me. The placed I moved to he became an indoor kitty. Burleous started to become a different cat. Started to show more trust, became buddies with Rusty, Ralph and Daisy. At night they would play the kitty 500!

For the first time, he showed signs of comfort, love and that he was very content. Our good friend Adam Chewbacca sent the kitties some kitty blankets for Christmas. Burleous slept on one every night, on the floor right next to my bed. It always comforted me to know he was there by me.

I have Epilepsy and one day I wasn't feeling well, so I layed down on the bed. Burleous jumped up on the bed, which he rarely did and layed by my side. Then he came closer to me and leaned his body next to mine. I had a seizure, but it wasn't near as strong as some have been. Burleous you are and will ALWAYS be my Little Angel.

My health had gotten worse, so I moved back to where I was living. Shortly before we moved back, Burleous didn't look well. When I first took him to the vet, they said he had major dental problems, which is why he was having a hard time eating. They put him on Antibiotics. After taking the 10 days worth of meds, he started to gain weight, then all of a sudden he dropped his weight again. Then thats when I took him to the vet for the 2nd time and found out he was in the last stages of Feline Aides, which litterally broke my heart. I will never forget him looking into my eyes, shortly before he passed.

Burleous was a trusting soul. Even though he had a hard life before he came to our house he showed me how important it was to risk, to show and give love.

I miss you my Boy. You will be forever missed, but NRVER FORGOTTEN!

Love,

Mama

I talked to Mama!

Mama has been having such a hard time with my passing. She misses me so much. She has been some sign from me.

Well last night Mama couldn't sleep. It was 3:30 AM EST and she went to the room I was in the last few days when I was so sick. She and I use to always listen to John Denver Music together. And everynight before she went to bed she made sure I could have music to listen to.

Well Mama decided to fold some clothes and turn on John Denver Music. When the song called "I want to Live" came on I talked to Mama and told her, I want her to continue to live, and go on. That I am living and very happy at the Rainbow Bridge!

Mama dropped the clothes she was folding, and started to cry. But these were happy tears. She felt such a peace of mind I was doing ok. I also told her I was very healthy, and I loved her very much.

Mama has added this song on my playlist.

Love,

Burleous

Rainbow Bridge

Today Mama came to the vet office and held me for over 30 minutes and cried. I just looked up at her, straight into her eyes and said it is going to be ok. Many of Mama's tears fell uon my forehead but I didn't mind., I did purr for Mama even though I was in alot of pain. Mama said I am so sorry Burleous. If I had only known sooner, I would have done what ever I could.

I looked at Mama as if to say, it is ok Mama, I know you would have. I had the best last year of my life, and that was with you. Mama brought my kitty blanket to the vet office too. She cleaned up my eyes and nose and said, you need to look good for there are lots of girls kitties at the Rainbow Bridge! It is ok Burleous, you can let go. She kissed me on the forehead and told me she loved me and said Osiris and many others will be waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge. I cried out once, and then I was on my Journey at 3:14 PM EST.

I will be watching over you Mama! Than You for a wonderfule life! I LOVE YOU!

Taking a Journey

Hello All My Friends,

About 3-4 weeks ago I wasn't feeling very well, I had lost alot of weight. So Mama had taken me to the Vet and they said I was 14 years old and that I had a bad case of Gingivitious. Also one of my fang teeth were broke. They gave me some Antibiotics to take for ten days, which tasted awful!

I was feeling better, started to gain weight again, then all of a sudden I took a turn for the worse. I got dehydrated, wouldn't drink much, and had a hard time eating canned food.

Mama took me to the vet today once again, for I really do not feel good. The Vet did some blood work on me, and we found out I have Feline Aides:( She said I was a very sick boy. She hadn't seen a cat with Aides as sick as I am. She told Mama, with medication I have less than a year to live.

Mama has been crying all day, not knowing what is the best thing to do. She doesn't want me to suffer anymore. And her heart breaks for me. I LOVE YOU MAMA!

I will be going to the Rainbow Bridge Tomorrow.

Love,

Burleous

I Came Home!

Well Mama went looking for me one last time before she was getting ready for bed at 4 AM EST, and she called my name, and heard me crying. She found me under a tree behind the house. I was ok, and let Mama pick me up. I was so glad to see her! I am so happy to be home again!

Thank you everyone for your POP!

Love,

Burleous
