Rainbow Notes

My Tail of Devotion to Cole on His 1st Bridge- Anniversary....

I remember 16 years ago when I went to the shelter to adopt a kitten. A scrawny little black cat was not what I had in mind. As I visited each cage and held each tiny kitten, I looked up to see you staring so intently at me from across the room. You never took your eyes off of me the entire time.

You were the last kitten I held and when you looked into my eyes and gave me the ‘silent meow’, I knew you were the one. You grew to be the biggest and most handsome black cat I had ever seen.

You openly accepted every new pet (regardless of species) that came to live with us and of all of them, you were the most social and a true lap cat. I thought sure that I still had a few good years left with you.

When you became ill, I tried so desperately to nurture you back to health. Baby Boy, I am so sorry I wasn’t able to succeed. When your suffering ended, mine began.

Today, I think of you on your first anniversary at the Rainbow Bridge. Time as flown and it seems like just yesterday that I had to say ‘goodbye’ to you. Your presence is greatly missed and my lap feels empty as does my heart.

You’ll always be mommy’s little “CoCo-Mo” and I will always and forever love you.

Until we meet again….
Love,
Mommy

Granny is with me now....

Granny joined me & Brandon at the bridge on February 6, 2009. Mommy was holding her hand when she left.

Thank you to Mercy's family for the beautiful funeral bouquet. I'm sorry we didn't take a picture of it, but please know it was very beautiful AND appreciated.

Also thank you to Louis & Ethan, Hobbes and family, KC Sunshine's family, Miracle Paws, Sally Maria, Pomme, Piewackit's family, Alexis & Abby, Sagan's family, Bisquit's family, Baby, Mr. Sam, Ashley, Martin, Autumn, Buddie, Boudin, Negra & Family, Mercy & Family and countless other kitties and doggies who have sent us condolence rosies, gifts, cards and p-mails & emails

Please forgive us if we've left anyone out. It's been a very sad, stressful and hectic week. Please know that we have appreciated EVERY thoughtful gesture and prayer. We don't know what we do without our support system of wonderful friends that include ALL of you.

5th month @ the bridge

Today is my 5th month at the bridge. I'm adapting pretty well and thankfully, I have a lot of old friends here with me as well as my k9 brother Brandon.

I see that mommy lit the memorial candle from Ashley's mom for me tonight. Sometimes it seems like mommy is doing better but then all of a sudden, just when I think she is getting over her grief, she comes to visit my page and she just sits there staring at my pictures and her eyes start leaking a lot.

She is always asking me over and over to visit her and let her know that I am okay. She just doesn't get that I'm ALWAYS near *sigh*
How can I make her understand? She thinks I am mad at her because she didn't notice that I wasn't eating for a few days and then I got Fatty Liver Disease from not eating and that's why I'm not visiting her. Hopefully in time, she will stop blaming herself. I lived 15 years and mommy gave me a life full of love and happiness. I wish she could think of it that way, instead of dwelling on the thought that she inadvertantly killed me.

Thank you to everyone who is still offering mommy support during this time. I'm sure it's getting old....MOL!

Love, Cole
