My dear friends,

I can't write much now, but I wanted to let you all know that my sweetest boy just could not fight any more and I had to set him free. He was struggling so badly tonite and I knew it was time. We had a session with the AC and he said he didn't think he could make it until tomorrow, he said he would try, but she sensed that would be too much to ask of him and I knew it in my heart as well just by looking at him. He was so weak, so tired and he was asking for peace.

He transitioned peacefully. It wasn't what I wanted as I'd promised him no more trips to the vet, but sometimes we don't get to choose.

My heart is shattered into a million pieces. Everywhere I look... there is Flame. His meter and strips, his food bowls, a counter full of medications, his bed, his inhalers on the living room table. I miss him so much already. I'm numb right now.

I will write more soon, but not tonite. I need to just be for a while.

THANK YOU ALL for everything! This is truly as special place. People here give so much of themselves to others... it is truly awe inspiring.

Sending our love to this beautiful FDMB L&L family. With a grateful heart....

Dear (((Donna))),
There is a bright new star lighting up the Heavens tonight. Beautiful, brave Flame is flying free. You gave him the best gift--the gift only love and devotion can give. All of our GAs are welcoming your boy to the Bridge, where he will find many old friends and be "in good paws" until that wonderful day when you will meet again.
Fly free, handsome boy, on your new golden wings. cat_wings>o. You are much loved.

In deepest sympathy,

Ella & Edward, Rusty, and Stu (GA)
 
So very sorry to hear it was time for Flame to leave you and transition to that next peaceful life at the Bridge

Giving them that last gift is always the hardest, but also the most generous and loving
Fly free sweet Flame and land softly....there are lots of friends at the bridge to welcome you and keep you company until the ones you love most come to be with you forever cat_wings>o
 
{{{Donna and DS}}} I am so sorry it was Flame's time to go, but you were such a good momma to listen to his wishes. :bighug::bighug::bighug:

Many of our GA's will be there to greet him at the Bridge, and show him the best meadows with butterflies to chase, and maybe even some squirrels. Fly free and land softly Flame. cat_wings>o Send your momma a sign when you've arrived safely.
 
((((Donna)))) My very deepest condolences, prayers, and hugs. It is the hardest thing we do...letting our beloved babies go. Your love and devotion to Flame is infinite. May you find peace that he knows this.

Fly free, brave Flame.

I heard about Flame's crossing earlier, but just couldn't bring myself to open your condo or compose a post. It's still hard. This is such an amazing place. Few of us ever get to meet face to face, yet we become brothers and sisters through our common love for our kitties. Each victory is cheered by all, each struggle is supported and encouraged, and each loss is equally mourned. Your love for Flame came through in every word, every picture, every post. We could all feel it, and we grew to love him, too. Tonight we are all bereft, united with you in sadness and loss. We all wish we could take the pain from your soul and make it all better.

We do so much for our kitties throughout their short lives, but the most important thing we can do for them is to give them the ultimate gift - freedom from suffering. It is also the gift that takes the most out of us. Flame trusted you and knew you would give him this gift, despite the cost. There is no greater love.

Fly free, sweet Flamie, on wings that are strong and swift, and land softly at the Bridge, where you can run free and watch over your family until you meet again. :rb_icon::bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
((((Donna))))

@Tricia Cinco(GA) & Harvey words rang true for me.

You listened to Flame. As much as it hurt to let him go, you listened with your heart. That is the best any of us can do. A bit of Flame will always be here and this place will always be a home for you.

Fly free Flame and land softly. Many of our kitties are at the Bridge to keep you safe until you are reunited with the one you love best.

 
((((((Donna))))))
My face is full of tears and my heart aches for you.
Flame knows how very much you love him, and will be waiting for you to join him one day.
I lit my candle for Flame last night before bed, and have it lit again for him this morning.

Fly Free, Happy & Strong, Beautiful Flame.

((Donna)) I am so very very sorry to hear this sad news. It is heartbreaking - we all understand your sorrow right now
Sending peace and comfort vines - how lucky you two found each other
RIP, sweetest Flame :bighug::bighug:
 
{{{{Donna}}}}} My heart is so very heavy for you right now. You were the best bean ever to your sweet boy and taking him out of his suffering was your last act of love to Flame . You both fought so hard and it was so apparent the love bond that you two had and have just now on a different plane but, none the less powerful .

Listen and watch carefully in the next few days as Flame journeys to the other side for his sign to tell you he has landed softly. Thank you for sharing Flame with your FDMB family ; we will be here to love and support you through your grief when you are ready. Until then, hugs and lots of vines of comfort and peace.

I am so very sorry, Donna. Flame knows how much you love him and how much you did to meet his wishes...he will live on in your heart. Our thoughts and prayers are with you...
 
Donna, I'm SO sorry it was beautiful Flame's time to cross.....sharing tears - he's loved by many. BIG HUGE looooooooong hug.

Soar high on your beautiful new angel wings sweet boy...landing softly back in Mama's broken heart.

More hugs,
 
This morning, I woke up feeling completely lost. I felt like I was walking in circles, thinking I should be doing something right now. We get so used to the routine of caring for our beloved furry family. I suppose it will take me quite a while to get past that. My home and my heart feel empty.
Toward the end, Flame required so much care that I would check on him every few minutes while I was home... how is his breathing, is he coughing, wheezing, is he eating, drinking, peeing, pooping, oh... it's time to test, oh... it's time for medication... I find myself still looking over at his bed to check on him and then get a pit in my stomach when I realize he's not there.

I know, with every fiber of my being, that he was ready and I did the right thing FOR HIM. There is a tiny bit of relief for me in the fact that I am NOT having to check on him every few minutes to make sure he's not struggling, yet I would give ANYTHING just to be able to kiss his sweet face one more time or to hear his purr. Tears come and go today, as I am sure they will for a long time to come.

I am going to donate some of Flame's things to the animal shelter where I volunteer in Flame's memory. When I adopted him 12 years ago, we were at a different shelter, but this is the same group.
I will be posting some things here as well as soon as I am able.

I don't have the words to express how grateful I am for your love and support. Just please know that my heart is overflowing with gratitude and I feel so incredibly blessed and humbled to be a part of this beautiful FDMB family.

Wishing all the kitties and beans a good day with safe surfing and purrs. My prayers go out to all who may need them today.
Hug your furry loves a little tighter today for Flamie and me. :bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
My heart hurts for you. So very sorry for your loss. You gave him love and a wonderful home. Hope knowing that helps in time. Prayers for your broken heart.

I could only hold phoebe and cry into her poor little head for you and Flame. Thank you for not letting him suffer and sharing him with us. I am so sorry. May his spirit lift you in light and may that light burn bright so when the time comes you will find each other again, just on the other side.
