Hello to all of my wonderful friends in LL,

I miss you all very much, and miss doing a condo for Zeus every day. It still seems so odd to not do the daily T/F/S . I continue to look at the clock around PS times, and I caught myself this morning looking towards the water bowl (or where it should have been) with plans to give Smokey some fresh water. I have even caught myself looking at where the LBs were expecting to see a present or two. The house is just so quiet. I miss them so much. I sometimes think that I see one of them out of the corner of my eye. Or, I expect Zeus to come running around the corner to greet me when I walk through the door, with Smokey not far behind.

It has been a rough couple of weeks for me, lots of tears. Our Vets office sent me two very lovely cards with personal messages about each of my babies, more tears. They included a couple of poems as well:

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.

"In the Candle's Glow"

Warm light coming from far below,
Twinkling, sparkling is the candle's glow.
All is well up on the ridge,
The place we know as Rainbow Bridge.

Furbabies sleeping in heaven's light,
Tended by candles in the night.
Peaceful dreams be theirs to keep,
As they slumber in this night so deep.

Hearts on earth that miss them so,
Take comfort in the candle's glow.
Watching for them in skies above,
Bound eternally by a cord of love.

I lost my babies within a week of each other, and I brought them home again a week apart, and cried some more. I wanted to thank you all so much for the love, and support... Your kind words meant more to me than you know.

Hugs and love to all,
Kathie
 
{{{{{{{{{{EXTREME HUGS}}}}}}}}}} I know all too well how much you're in pain, my friend. Zeus and Smokey will never be forgotten, and will always remain in your memories, and in your heart. You have given them both a very loving, warm, caring home, and for that they'll forever be grateful. They couldn't have had a better Momma Bean to take care of them. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
 
(((Kathie))) so good to hear from you and so glad you have both babies home with you, Zeus and Smokey. You've been in my thoughts and prayers a lot. The poems from your Vet are beautiful and I hope comforting for you. It is so sad and heart breaking to lose one furbaby, but to lose two so close together is too heartbreaking. Hope you don't stay away, as it's always good to see a visit from you. Lots of love and hugs from Mags and me.
 
Morning Kathie ~O) ~O) ~O) It is wonderful to hear from you. I am sending tons of hugs, feel good vines. Your kitties passing is so fresh for me, having been through it too just a few months ago. it is the same for me: time still evolves around those times when a shot was needed, or a test, or it was time to feed, or I was out and that internal clock tells me i should be home. I'd been doing it, caring for Mannie, for 5 years, the routine was so ingrained. We are all on such auto pilot. In time it will fade, as it is for me. Only the good wonderful memories remain. I am glad that they are both home again, together, as it should be. The circle is now complete. They were such good companions. I know how much you miss them. To lose two in a week, is overwhelming. Your vets cards were wonderful, from good caring people. I hope you will continue to visit LL. Hugs from all here, and from Mannie, at the Bridge.
 
Hi, ((Kathie)), you've been on my mind and in my heart. I'm so glad Zeus and Smokey are home with you. I hope the emptiness fades, and your heart fills with love from all around ~ from their memories, from our LL love. It is quite a shock still, and a huge adjustment in your life. Welcome your tears and feelings ~ they are helping you get through this. You have so many supporters here who can also help you get through this. Sending many hugs and much love to you.

I'm so glad your kitties are back home. Truly, though, they never left -- they are always in your heart and your mind's eye. I know that feeling that you think you see something move and the immediate response is that it's your kitty that has crossed the Bridge. Perhaps it is a sign that they are there and watching over you.

I'm glad you have both Zeus and Smokey home with you.
I know how hard and painful it is right now for you.
I lost a dog a long time ago.
Time will heal you, and only good memories and gratitude that they shared their lives with you will remain.
They will be with you always and forever, wherever you are.
Thinking of you.....

So glad your babies are back home where they belong. It is all still so fresh and raw. Tears are inevitable. I pray the pain softens, and your memories start to bring more smiles than tears. Thinking of you.

Dear (((((((Kathie)))))))

Zeus and Smokey will always be home, for their home is that special place in your heart. They will send you little signs from time to time and you will smile. The poems are so beautiful. I like to think of all our GAs at the Rainbow Bridge, enjoying each other's company and waiting for the time when we will meet again.
Don't forget that LL will always be your family. Please keep in touch.

Many hugs,

Ella & Rusty

I'm so glad that they are both home with you. I know too well what a bittersweet comfort this is. I lost my babies within 6 months of each other and that was a nightmare. Within a week is unimaginable to me. I take some comfort in knowing that they are together and waiting for me and I hope you do too, but the pain is harsh.

Those poems are beautiful. Thank you for sharing. They comforted me also.

Peace and love to you :YMHUG:

I'm happy you have them back with you. It was so hard for you to lose both of them close together. Your vets sound very caring and what wonderful sentiments, the poems are beautiful.

:YMHUG: :YMHUG: I hope having them w/ you again will bring closure.
 
(((Kathie))) So glad to hear from you, THEY WILL FUREVER BE IN YOUR HEART very hard thing to lose so close together this is very hard and they can never be replaced, but they loved you very much.=^:^=
 
I truly wish I had the magical words to make the pain subside more for you...(((((Kathie)))))))))

Zeus and Smokey are both home in every way possible now. The spirits are running freely, their bodies whole and healthy, as you keep their earthly remains close to you.

Such an amazing MamaBean you were and are to them :YMHUG: :YMHUG: :YMHUG:
 
(((((Kathy)))))
I'm so glad to hear you have your babies home with you and know that they will always live in you heart, and the memories you will have forever. I think of you everyday, so glad you stopped by to say Hi. Only time can heal this loss and I hope your heart begins to heal soon ♥
 
Kathie, those poems are wonderful. Zeus and Smokey will always be with you. Still thinking of you and praying for you. :YMHUG: :YMHUG: :YMHUG:
 
I'm glad your babies are back home where they belong. I know how hard it is, too, as I lost my oldest the day after Christmas last year - 10 years and one day after we lost our first. All of our kitties are together now, waiting for us to join them someday. Our thoughts and prayers remain with you...
 
Kathie...dear friend to all of us....

If you think you see them, you do. They are there for you as long as you need them and even when they finally slip through the veil for good, they will always and forever be in your heart.

I think of you often and hold you in my prayers.

What lovely poems your vet sent. I hope they brought you some degree of peace.

We all miss you, Zeus, and Smokey. You are always family here. :YMHUG: :YMHUG: :YMHUG:
