9/1 Tuscany - how can it be a year already?

[joyce-tuscany(GA)]

Tomorrow, 9/2, will mark the 1 year passing of Tuscany. At times it seems so much longer since the "paw alien" claimed her - odd that it wasn't the diabetes that we had been treating for 18 months. The guilty relief of no longer being regimented by the diabetes duties have long passed and the missing my cat has crept into my heart, especailly over this summer.

I have spent a fair amount of time thinking of Tuscany recently, missing her quiet sweetness. I have had several dreams in the last month or so with Tuscany in them - dreams that I wake up from comforted from having "seen" my girl.

The time that we spent on the boat this summer with Josie, a civvie, brought back so many memories of Tuscany traveling with us (and seeming to like it) that I had a kept calling Josie Tuscany. Something that I rarely do at home.

I wanted to take this time on her anniversary of leaving to remember all the of LL kitties that have passed in the last year. I also wanted to again thank everyone that helped us through our diabetes time and who helped console me when it was time to say goodbye.

If you have time, take a look again at the link to Tuscany's Celebration of a Life- a video that Dianne did for us and posted the day we said goodbye. It is a beautiful tribute and I've enjoyed watching it - over and over again.

Keep coming to me in the dreams Tuscany........

They never really leave, do they? It is a comfort to know our GA kitties always remain in our hearts. (And it is very hard to believe it has been a year.)

We can't believe it has been a year either. I have always said that kitties are our humans' guardian angels here on earth so certainly it makes sense that Tuscany is still keeping an eye on you -- after all the bonds of love can never be broken.

Thanks for checking in with us. Sending hugs & lots of love, Susan & Lanky

((((((Joyce)))))) I cant believe it's a year already--Tuscany was one wonderful girl, and you gave her a wonderful life..My civvie Copper passed this spring, and it has left a huge hole in my heart, so I know how you feel--Cats leave pawprints on your heart, that is an understatement..
Love never dies Joyce, hers for you & yours for her--That's why she is visiting you in dreams, the closest to the other side...You will see her again one day..I miss checking on you as I did when she was here..
She is missed--
Take Joy in her life, and remember how much you gave her-& she gave you!-They give us so so very much--
Love & Hugs from us!

Hi Joyce ..

It is hard to believe it has been a year .. I'm so glad she comes to you in your dreams and that it comforts you .. Remember that she is never far from all of you ..

 

[Lisa and Do Lou (GA)]

((((Joyce)))) thinking of you today

 

[Ella & Rusty & Stu(GA)]

(((((Joyce))))) It is amazing how fast a year can go by. We are coming up to Stu's anniversary at the end of this month, too. He is still very vivid in our hearts and minds (and I often find myself referring to Rusty as "Stu"--but not to his face!!!). The bond of love between you and Tuscany will always be there. It is wonderful that she is visiting you in your dreams, and that her visits are a comfort.
Thanks for posting today. Tuscany was such a terrific girl. I'm sure that Stu and his Rainbow Bridge Kitchen Krew will whip up a delicious 1-year dinner for her tomorrow night.

Joyce,
That was a beautiful video of your sweet girl, and I enjoyed watching it again. I have been going through a lot of the same stuff, thinking about Bear Man as his one year anniversary appproaches in October. Thank you for posting this condo in celebration of Tuscany's life, and for remembering all of the LL kitties who have passed. I think that there are going to be a lot of annifursary parties at the Bridge coming up.
Linda

We are remembering sweet Tuscany on the one year Anniversary of her journey to the bridge.

 

[Michelle and Mannie (GA)]

I too have remembered her today, I remember the boat stories, the chronicles of her last days with us. Those condos were so very special. I don't think they ever truly leave us... none of mine really have. They will always be with us, in our minds, and our hearts. It is a wonderful time to remember all who have passed on. You will be forever in our hearts Tuscany.
