I'm heartbroken to lose my baby and my companion for 16 years but I want to thank everyone here. Without your help & support I wouldn't have had these extra 6 months with her and I needed them.

She was a one person cat and I was lucky enough to be that person. In our younger years we used to eat popcorn & drink beer together --- and she had her own opinions on things. Always did.

She loved me well and hopefully I loved her and cared for her as well as she did me.

I'm going to miss her so much.

Thank you all from both of us.

Barb (((HUGS))).

I am so sorry to hear about your popcorn-eating, beer-drinking, feline companion of 16 years passing. Chong sounds like a true character, and, although I didn't know you previously from these boards, I now want to hear lots of stories about Chong. She'll always be alive in your heart and your memories, and sharing your memories of her will keep her alive for eternity.

My sincerest sympathies to you on your loss.

Barb I am so sorry! It is never easy but it sounds as if there was a real bond with you and Chong, that is a precious gift. She will forever snuggle in your heart ....

Barb -

I'm so sorry; I know you will miss her greatly. Praying memories of your special times together bring comfort in the days ahead.

I am so sorry to hear this, Barb. Sounds like you and Chong were truly best friends. I hope you are comforted by knowing that you gave her so many years of a loving home - filled with hugs and pats, special treats and good food and love. What more could a kitty ask for?
 
Barb I wish I had known Chong! Popcorn and beer two things this diabetic with diverticulitis can't eat/drink and misses dearly (well the popcorn at least). What a wonderful bond, what a great 16 years it must have been. It is always too soon. I am so sorry. If sharing stories about Chong helps I think you've peaked the interest here big time -
Hugs
 
I am very sorry to read this.

I know how difficult it is.

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Oh Barb, my heart is broken for you. Please try your best to focus on the good times and the love you shared for so many years.
Fly free sweet baby Chong.

Fly free sweet Chong.

I'm very sorry for your loss.
I'm glad you had 16 years of special times shared with your baby, but no amount of time is ever enough.
I know you miss her terribly. Sending big hugs and prayers for healing your heart.
Fly free to the bridge, dear Chong. wings_cat rb_icon
 
OMG, Barb! I'm so teribly sorry. I was just catching up on my pzi friends, and just saw this. I'm so very sorry! Its been a little bit of a bumpy road, these past few months, but you did so well at managing her diabetes. When we were losing my dad, I remember the doc saying,"his body is tired. the organs have worked hard, and now they're ready to retire." It's never easy to say goodbye, but remember how fortunate you both were to have each other and for so long. There are a lot of kitties who's people would never have done so much as you did. Know that she loved you and will always fill your heart...just not in the physical way anymore. So sorry for your loss. May God bless you with warm memories and peace.
 
Hi, I am so very sorry for your loss of your best friend, please accept my deepest condolences and remember she will always be with you, your memories of the two of you together are a force that cannot be forgotten.

Thank you all for your thoughts, prayers, comfort. It is brutally hard. I miss her so much. I just keep looking for her. When the grief hits, like now, there is no way to stop the pain. My baby . . .
 
Barb,
I understand. It comes and goes. One day you wake up feeling it's better and a week later you see something or remember something and you feel that knife in your heart all over again. It took months for me, after losing Lillian, to get to a point where it didn't hurt so bad. It was Bob becoming diabetic that actually got me to that point. Talk about a blessing in disguise...
I got down a box of 12 year old photos a few weeks back and found some of Bob and Lilly as babies. One of Bob is my current avatar. The pics brought back only good memories and smiles. I'll always miss her. I wish she was still here. But the pain is finally gone.
You will get there, Barb. And until then, if you need cyber-shoulders and cyber-hugs, both are here in great supply.
Hugs across the miles,
Carl
 
When my brother died, my mother told me there is no pain worse than that of losing a child. I believe her. Our sugar babies are our children, in furry form. I can only imagine how much worse it hurts when we are so close with our sugar babies in particular. It has been over a decade since my brother passed and while the pain is no longer near as bad, we still miss him. We are able to talk about him now without crying, enjoying sharing memories of him and his antics. I wish I could say how long it took to reach this place but it's one of those ECID things.

Chong will always be with you, in your heart and memories. My wish for you is to reach the place where you enjoy sharing your memories of her and her antics. :YMHUG:
