One year ago, I grew so very ill….I had struggled off and on for many years….but this day was different. Mommy knew it was time to let me go and peacefully send me to the bridge.
So on October 27, 2008, I spread my wings and left earth. There are no words to express the pain and emotion of that day………………….my final moments on earth………..and the overwhelming peace of the journey to the sunlight of the bridge.
I never knew one kitty, me, could touch so many lives and hearts….but I learned I had….I knew my work as a new angel would be invaluable to others. I have spent the last year spreading my sunshine wings and supporting others as they end their life’s journey and come to the bridge….I work along side all the beautiful angels here at the bridge to bring peace and comfort to all. Mommy says I did that on earth, too. I guess what she says makes more sense now. Mommy tells me, “My angels wear fur…”
The comfort, support and love so freely given by each of you through this past year and for all the time we have spent on Caster and Dogster never goes un-noticed or unappreciated by my family or me. We can never say thank you enough for sharing our lives and hearts and for making my journey and first year at the bridge easier to handle.
I will always miss the comfort of my mommy’s arms, the tail wags and cuddle times with Sissy, the play times with Dad, and the quiet times with CK…………………but as an angel, I get to stay close and share in special moments in a different way.
I will always miss each of you and the times shared……..but I hope you know as an angel….I am always there. I find comfort in knowing, I have become the Catster/Dogster Sunshine Angel….as I have always worked to bring sunshine and peace to all. I realistically know as one little kitty angel, I can’t make a huge difference in the world; however, I do believe it is the small differences that count. If I can wrap my sunshine wings around one kitty, doggie, or human and make difference………….my angel work has been successful.
October 27, 2008….I went to sleep and opened my eyes to the beauty of the bridge, the warmth of the sun and the heartache of being gone from my family. I know my family, especially mommy, misses me so……………….however, I see her smile now when she thinks of me and feels the warmth of the sun on her face.
I thank each of you for all you are, and all you do……………and all you will become. I am blessed to have you for friends.
Please…To honor me on my first bridge anniversary tomorrow…..find a quiet moment in your busy day to close your eyes, relax and let the stress of the world go………………put your paw and/or hand over your heart….feel the beat….it’s me….look to the sun…………..and smile for I am watching over you…and most importantly, take time to give of yourself to another. It doesn’t have to be anything big…simply reach out and touch another’s heart…………………this will be the best way to honor my memory.
“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.”

I love you all and am so grateful we have had you to help us adjust to my new life as the Sunshine Angel this past year. To all of you who have watched your special ones leave and go to the bridge, please do know....time will lessen the pain, but never the memory of what you shared together.
I am smiling down on each of you……….always warming your hearts with sunshine and peace!
Our hearts are connected by paws.
Love and Sunshine Hugs, Jazzi Sunshine Angel and family
We are home safely from our cabin trip. It was so nice to have the time away to rest, relax and be together. We missed each of you, but you never left our hearts. After all, our hearts are always connected by paws!
For the most part, it was cloudy and rainy the first 4 days at the cabin….We know our precious Jazzi Sunshine Angel was working over time to let us know she was there. Often we caught a beautiful glimpse of the sun hidden behind the clouds………….we felt her presence at all times. You will see the pictures on my page. The last night there, Jazzi blessed us with the most incredible sunset (picture on her page)…as if she was saying...I am at peace. I live within all of you.
We have never traveled with CK before. He did very well and had a fun time. My Granny and Papa came and spent a couple of days with us, too. ti was such a great family time.
Mommy rested some and is still recovering from the flu. I rested as well. Got lots of frosty paws and pampering!
We rescued one dog and kitty while there. The animals seem to find mommy everywhere. They are in new loving homes in Oklahoma.
Our trip was much different than anticipated…the second day there, mommy received a phone call from one of her dearest friends. Mommy didn’t think too much when the call came in as they talk a lot. However, her friend was calling to let her know that her husband died. Mommy and dad were so shocked and saddened. Mommy’s friends’ husband had cancer, just like my daddy’s…..as a matter of fact, my daddy was his cancer buddy and huge supporter…..hit daddy really hard. I think Daddy was his hero, as I know he is ours.
Our precious friend’s death definitely changed the tone of the trip……….really put things in perspective. I caught mommy holding daddy tightly and saying, “thank God you are a live.” So, as all of you can imagine, the trip was different than expected. Our hearts are still heavy and with each minute of each day, we count our blessings…no matter how tough life can be. Mommy always says, we can’t change life, but we can continue to live life to the fullest and keep our hearts and minds appreciative and giving.
After much thought and really missing the sunshine, we realized why it was so cloudy and rainy, as our Jazzi Angel was working so hard to help our precious friend to heaven…………………once he arrived peacefully, she could light up our world with sunshine and healing love. She was right where she needed to be.
One more thing….to all those of you with cancer or who know someone with cancer….never give up hope and remember….
“WHAT CANCER CAN NOT DO
Cancer is so limited
It cannot cripple love
It cannot shatter hope
It cannot corral faith
It cannot eat away peace
It cannot kill friendship
It cannot shut out memories
It cannot silence courage
It cannot invade the soul
It cannot reduce eternal life
It cannot quench the spirit”
