Muffin is home. I picked up her ashes on Monday.

My friend had the picture made for me, and you can't see it in this, but across the bottom it says "Muffin Forever in Our Hearts." That's her favorite toy, little blue chirpie bird. I bought a bracelet maker for my DGD for Christmas, and the day after (which was also the day after Muffin crossed the bridge) my DD opened it to see how it worked. She flipped open the instruction booklet and that particular bracelet was called "The Rainbow Bridge." I am certain that was my first sign from my sweet baby, and I requested one be made for her memorial. So that's the bracelet on the box. I would like to add a pizza or taco bell scented candle. :lol: I can't think of any "normal" scent that would be fitting.
I keep thinking I'm doing better, finally accepting that she's gone, thinking my heart has begun healing....until someone brings her up, or gives me hug, or offers condolences. I can talk about her sometimes now, just a little bit, and smile instead of cry. I find myself missing the little things she did now....if I approached her with shoes on, she would cower and/or run, thinking she was going to the vet. Every time I sneezed, she had a special mew she would offer...her little "bless you." Shnookie and Kibby are both a tremendous comfort. I've had way more "shnuggles" than usual, and on the days or nights that Shnookie is otherwise occupied, Kibby fills in. Even Oscar has added a 20-30 minute cuddle with me before he goes off to bed.
I am so very incredibly blessed.
