Tears flow..The poetry is so beautiful, Lady J.. I thank Him for giving us pets to love..though that love really hurts sometimes, (((Dolly))).
I think I started posting at the Finest after my Purty died and I saw how many pet lovers were here..I was unable to even mention my loss for awhile..I was too new.. too shy and upset to share I suppose.
God saw I needed to unlock my heart, risk a loss again, so He sent Silky for me to care for. He softened me up with all the other kitties I enjoyed and helped care for at my daughter’s home..I still feel the loss..but have made space in my heart finally.
Sending more HUGS.
oh Luv, she is simply gorgeous.do they live close? I am recalling they didn’t
I am a long way from my grandkids & I hate it
did you have your trip to Maine to see MsB yet?
I was to be in Maine for vacation with firend this week, but I simply cannot get awy for that length of time... for now
I love this, your sunset, sweet Piper..Sweet Dreams..I am into a weird sleeping pattern again.
Meg what you say is so true. our loses are so profound that it is hard to think of another animal being there.. but when we realize that God wants us to care for yet another of his creations & learn a few more lessons ourself from them, it is easier.
I didn’t know about Purty.. I am sorry. I know how much the loses even from years prior can be raw to the soul.
I look forward..I love your pictures.
I was somewhat embarrassed by my grief I believe..I have learned I am in good company here, Dolly. Purty was such a friend, such a buddy..and funny.
Silky is at the end of the twin bed here in my guest/computer room..snoozing nearby..I like it!
This is so beautiful..I am saving it along with the others..My Purty died in my arms..
I have found that people who make me feel embarrassed or uncomfortable about expressing or even HAVING my grief are really not friends... I am glad you had her & now have Silky. They each give to us so freely.
Nice she is with you as you FReep. It is interesting the sense of “security” I think is the word , I always feel when they are close. Even when traveling, a cat or dog(s) along makes me feel so much better than going alone.
so did Cali Meg.. and so did Oliver. Painful but the best way. They knew they were loved & appreciated
My older male cat, Sassy1, died in my arms when I lived in California..My wails could have been heard in Texas..
It took years for me to get another..
Like you..I am just happier, more comfortable with a pet nearby. ...I think I am now more willing to accept the pain and not be embarrassed by it..
No one made me feel embarrassed..thank heavens..That was my own doing.. I was surrounded by pet lovers at my daughter’s house!
My daughter deemed I needed a new pet of my own when she tenderly cared for starving Silky and lured her into the house..but Silky truly became “mine” when they brought my car up to me and left Silky last Thanksgiving. Silky loved for me to groom her when I was at my daughter’s but did not sleep with me as she does now. She had so many kitties to sleep with there!
Beautiful, Dave. God created so many wonders. What a Friend we have!
No they don’t live close. They live in OKC, so they DO live close to my MIL and she is loving it. Gets to see sweet Piper much more than I do!
Our trip to NY and Maine starts on the 16th of this month. We will even get to visit with Mayor and Mrs. Mayor! Yay! I can hardly wait to meet them!
Let me know when you will be with Rus in Buffalo area. I can perhaps come for the meet/lunch/whatever.. Bring my buddy Wheelbarrow (the 82 year old WW2 vet/FReeper)....With notice we can prolly do it except Thursday lunch.. could be there later on Thursday
Awesome text & pic to go with!! T Y for the ping.
It’s great to have Jesus as a close personal Savior and Friend,huh? Our souls sure know that to be so,huh? My brother, in Christ!
Awww! precious pic of l’il Piper Jane!
Now unto the King Eternal, Immortal, Invisible...
Prayers for Marine Sgt Samuel Nichols, in a coma from an IED in Iraq.
Oh, Sweet Meg, my Heart Understands; my Dear Friend of 12 Years, my Fang-Face, Passed Away in my Arms. Oh, my Lord Jesus, Please Grant our Friends Back to us Again in the Eternal Day. Thou Who art So Merciful and Kind, we Miss them with All our Hearts. Thank You, Loving Lord, for these Gifts from Your Good Hand. In Thy Name we Pray, and Love You Dearly, Lord, amen.
Oh, Dolly, how I Miss my Sweet Fang-Face, and Look Forward to Seeing him Again One Day!
Praying for him Right Now in my Bedtime Prayers, my Sister in our Savior-King.
Amen, Kitty.(((HUGS)))
