(((((((((((((((((((Carolyn))))))))))))))))))))

The language running through my head just isn't fit to print. It's just Not fair! You and BigMac have been in my thoughts and prayers and went looking for update this moring...

My heart breaks with yours at your loss. I'm so glad you got to be with him and that he KNEW it before he had to go. I just don't have the words to ease the rent in your heart......

BigMac - you gorgeous hunk of a cat.... you run free and rest joyfully! Go visit your Momma soon to ease her heart. You were loved beyond measure and will be missed more than words can ever express... and you will never, ever be forgotten!
 
Carolyn I'm so terribly sorry that Big Mac had to leave. If there were words to stop your pain we would type them but of course there isn't. Just know we are holding you in our cyber arms.
 
My dear sweet precious Carolyn. I am so sorry to learn that you lost your boy. What words can express my sadness in losing such a magnificent cat? I know your ability to love and with that ability comes the open door for severe pain and heartache. You and Big Mac are in my loving thoughts.
Run Noisy, run, find Big Mac and send whiskers to Carolyn for her broken heart. I love you CD.
Fly forever free Big Mac. Thou art the great cat.
 
((((Carolyn)))) I am so sorry for your loss, but I am also glad that you got there in time and that Big Mac knew you were there. Your bond with Big Mac is so strong, the grief and pain are going to be terrible. But that is because your love was so strong. And that bond with Big Mac will always be there. Sending prayers for peace and comfort for you. Big Mac is already at peace with our other GA's.
 
I’m new to the board, but I have been following your posts on BigMac and you both have been in my thoughts and prayers. You still are.

About 10 years ago I lost a really special cat to cancer. That night I had a dream that he was running in a grassy field. I know that was God telling me He was taking care of A.J., that he was free now and not in any pain. I know God is taking care of BigMac too. Just remember you’ll always have those happy times you had with BigMac and even though it hurts now, you’ll never regret that you loved that special cat. It is truly worth the time we have with them. BigMac will always be in your heart.
 
just thinking about you today (((((carolyn)))))).....and looking at bigmac's photo this morning at work.....we will miss him.......((((((bigmac))))))

I'm very new to these boards, and didn't know you or Big Mac, but your post just made me cry, out of sadness that you lost your furry friend, but out of happiness that he held on until you could get there and you two could say your final goodbye's. My sincere condolences to you, Carolyn, on your loss. But from what you described above, I don't think Big Mac could have had a more wonderful, caring, loving mom during his life!
 
Dear Carolyn,

Your story of your sweet furbaby was so sad, and yet so beautiful. The fact that you got back in time so he could say goodbye to you and have you there with him.

May you always carry his spirit in your heart and know that he was a very lucky cat to have a MomBean as wonderful as you have been to him.

Sending prayers for healing to you, and that you know your Burger Man is just a step away really, playing with all of our furbabies who have gone ahead to the bridge, where we will one day join them all.

((((HUGS)))),

There is nothing we can say to take away your grief. Please know that in your heart you did everything you possibly could for him and you gave each other the wonderful gift of love, he waited for you and you were there to release him from pain.

I am so sorry, please be gentle with yourself in the days and weeks and months to come.
 
(((((((((((((((Carolyn))))))))))))))))))))))

Words cannot express my sorrow at learning Big Mac has crossed the bridge. He waited for you to be with him. There is something very special about our bond with these gentle giants.

He is romping with my Sparky waiting for us.

I'm very sorry for your loss. I think sometimes it is hard for medical people to give up hope of trying to save a life and admit that it is time for palliative care. I know it is the same with humans. I'm glad that you were able to be with him at the end.
 
His lifting his head for mom broke my heart and refilled it at the same time. He held on for you so you could say goodbye. I am so terribly sorry Carolyn. If love was enough he would have pulled through. Keeping you and BigMac in my heart. Hugs and love from me and angel Maverick. He's up there with your big guy. Free.
 
((((((Carolyn))))))

Ohhhh how sorry I am that he had to leave. He whispered to your heart that he was very tired and your heart heard him. I'm glad that he waited for you to be there to comfort each other at the end. What a sweet and loving bond.

Carolyn,
These are so sad and heartbreaking news. Tears are quietly falling down my cheeks ...
All the strenght to you, take care.
We miss BigMac wings_cat

Mia, Kitty and Joey
 
C: I am so sorry. You have given so much and loved him more than words can say. I know he's back to 100% at the Rainbow Bridge until you meet again. :YMHUG: Putting GA next to his name on my calendar right now....
 
((((Carolyn))))

He waited for you - he waited until he could say goodbye. You are right - it was his last gift of love, it was his way of telling you he loved you, but that he had to leave. He knew he could not go until you were there; yes, they love us *that* much!

He truly was one of the great ones, and he will live on in many hearts forever. And you know he is in his real forever home - your heart. Close your eyes, and open your heart, and he is there. He always will be.

While we are mourning the loss of our friend,
others are rejoicing to meet him behind the veil.
- John Taylor

You will walk together again. Until then, please accept and find comfort in the tears and hugs and sympathy of all of us who grieve with you.

Karen
 
Carolyn, I haven't been on LL much lately but had seen a few post regarding Big Mac's surgery's. I was so hoping that he was going to recover. I was very sad to read your post today - The heartbreak of our fur babies leaving us is so devastating. Hugs to you - fly free Big Mac.
 
I am so so sorry for your loss. BigMac has become a household name as every day I would read his updates out loud to my kittes and DH. We both cried last night as we read your post. BigMac was so blessed to have a Momma Bean as wonderful as you. We are sending hugs and prayers your way. wings_cat
 
(((((((Carolyn))))))))

I have sat down to write something a dozen times already. Yet I know nothing I say will be enough to take away your pain.

I thank you for sharing your best friend, Big Mac, with us. It is because of him we have been blessed with YOUR generous heart as well. I know it is a heart that is hurting immensely right now. Please believe there are people all over the world praying for your peace, and sending healing vines to YOU.

May the journey to find peace in your heart be gentle.

Listen for the chimes.....for your angel. He will never be far from your side.

God, it's so hard to hear....I'm so sorry. You knew something wasn't right when the vets thought otherwise. I've been in that situation too. It's a sickening feeling. I'm glad the staff you worked with cared about you and BigMac and that they were good people, that helps. I'm sure they are very upset too. My thoughts are with you. You are such a kind and devoted bean. ((((CD))))
 
So many Old friends have joined together here to send their Love to you Carolyn & to Honor

I am so sorry for your loss. I know how very much you loved Big Mac and of course he knew as well. He held on to have those last moments with you. What a gift. I am so glad you both got to say goodbye and spend time together before he had to cross.

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would you feel the same
If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on
'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven

Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven?
I'll find my way through night and day
'Cause I know I just can't stay here in heaven

Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees
Time can break your heart, have you begging please, begging please

Beyond the door there's peace I'm sure
And I know there'll be no more tears in heaven

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would you feel the same
If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on
Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven...

Jezebel, Sassy, Darcy, Breeze and I will light a candel for Big Mac!

Debie & Crew
 
What a lovely testament to how revered the two of you are.

Your lovely paws touched a multitude of hearts, BigMac.

Our thoughts are with you and DH still, Carolyn.

Celi, Binks, Smudge, and Annie

As a newbie here I didn't now much of Big Mac's history but in looking around at the other posts for more info and to try and get a better grip on what I was going thru I found parts of his story and was captivated by him, your relationship and all that entailed. I was so hoping he would pull thru and have been overly focused on just my own posts and their responses for a few days but jsut thought I'd check in on Big Mac and saw this - I cannot think of what to say - I am so glad you had a few final moments with him and I am sooo sorry for your lose. What a wonderful bond, what a cherished memory Big Mac will always be for you and what a huge part of your soul he now occupies.
My deepest sympathies.
 
I am so incredibly touched by all your kind thoughts and words. All of you here have been what has guided me through the terrible pain and sadness. Some of the darkness is lifting now. During those first hours of intense pain I was able to smile at some of the comments.
I didn't think that I could smile in the middle of sobbing but that is exactly what I did.
Thank you Dian for saying this: "OMG. My little hamburger. you fought so hard. I am just sick over this. what am I going to do with all these sesame seeds? "

I am truly grateful for every word and hug, and the songs and photos of beautiful things.
And my heart is lifted by seeing so many of the long timers come to offer their thoughts and condolences.

What lovely family we have in FDMB. cat_pet_icon
 
My heart breaks for you. I visit Lantus Land frequently and I have been following Big Mac. The two of you a great bond, you both loved each other so much-- it was very obvious.

Fly Free Big Mac.....


I am sorry,
Kim
 
CD, I am so sorry to hear about BigMac's flight. I'm sure Boo gave him a head butt when he arrived. I'm thankful that you were able to be with him at the very end, but I'm so sorry about the pain you are feeling now. Hugs, my friend, and prayers for peace.
 
CD, my heart is just breaking for you. I know Big Mac is out of pain. I know he was surrounded by your love when he left for the bridge, and it shines on him now. His last hours are not the signature of his life; his years as your beloved companion are.

Many hugs to help you through the waves.
 
Carolyn you are the best of the best. Your BigMac had so much love from you. He will always be loved and always be remembered. Fly Free Big Mac Land Softly. wings_cat rb_icon wings_cat rb_icon
 
Carolyn,
I have not been around in quite a while, but I saw this today and just had to post. I remember you and BigMac well from Lantus Land. My heart goes out to you. I am so very, very sorry for your loss. BigMac will live on in all of our hearts and memories.

Fly free now sweet one. You will always be loved.

Heartfelt condolences,
Donna and Flame
 
Oh my gosh. I am so very sorry for your loss. I know Big Mac fought hard. I just cried and cried when I read your post about his last day. You are so right that we grieve with you. It has been over a year since we lost Witty and the tears still come easily, my heart goes out to you. fly free Big Mac.
 
I am crying as I write this too. I got so scared reading what you wrote...that you hadn't made it back in time. What if you hadn't? It would have changed everything. I too am so glad that you had time to say your "until we meet agains". That was destiny at it's very finest. No regrets.

((((Carolyn)))) I am so sorry. I can't even honestly say that I understand what was wrong with BigMac to cause this sudden decline but my heart has shattered into a million pieces in the past week as I virtually went through this with you. There is a silence that will never be filled. BigMac was so special and just about the most handsome boy I have ever laid eyes on. The waves will come for a while. That is the price we pay for loving deeply a creature that gives us nothing but pleasure and unconditional love from the moment it comes into our life.

My heart goes out to you and my prayers are with you. BigMac will always be inside of you, a better part of you and surrounding you. That's how real love is. As long as you remember him, and you believe...he is still here. I try to believe this, but I know that it sounds like a bunch of garbage right now. I am just starting to 'feel' my mom. (The good news is that when this happened with my last cat, Chance, that I had for 17 years...I was devastated and swore I could not go through this again. I adored him. Less than 2 months later, Chance himself picked out Alex and Jackson! True story)!

It will get less heartbreaking but it will take time.

Much love to you, with all of my heart,
Caryl
