For the third time in the span of 9 months, I have lost a part of my heart.
My sweet Angel is gone.



She died on New Years Eve, when at least 3 cysts growing on her liver and spleen, ruptured, causing internal bleeding and multiple organ failure.
There was nothing we could do.

I considered not posting, mostly because I haven’t been here regularly - but Angel had a home here... and a family... And although I haven't been around, I feel as though I will always be a part of this community.

We adopted Angel in June of this year. She was only with us for 6 months - but they were wonderful months, and she was loved enough for a lifetime.
She was my best friend.
She helped me heal... she helped me breathe... and she helped me understand that love is always there – that it will find you – and it will make you stronger.

She was truly a gift... and I will love and miss her always.


Angel's Memorial video is here:

(((((Michelle and Family))))) You and Angel belonged together. The story of her adoption is wondrous. May you always feel her love; she will always feel yours. Fly free, dear Angel. wings_cat
 
Oh, Michelle...

my heart aches for your grief, my friend.
a dear kitty who gave you the gift of helping ease your sorrow,
yet couldn't help but leave some in it's place.

Land softly, sweet Angel...
you will be missed.

I am so very sorry to see that Angel has crossed the bridge. I followed her story on DCIN and was so happy when you adopted her.
In the 6 months that she was with you and your family, she knew she was loved and was home.
Fly free Angel.
((((Michelle and family))))

I am so sorry to read of your loss. Her memorial is beautiful. I have no doubt that you gave her her life back when you adopted her. You did save her. She knew she was home, that she was loved there. May the memories of your brief time together comfort you. Know that she will always be with you, in your heart and your minds eye. Fly free little one.

So very true, Michelle.....to her those 6 months with you was a lifetime of love. My deepest and most heartfelt sympathy on the passing of Angel. Her face was just beautiful and her eyes.......will never forget that picture of her DCIN put up. She was loved and you were with her when it came time for her to leave. My heart goes out to you. Her video tribute was beautiful wings_cat
 
I'm so sorry for your loss (((((Michelle)))))). My heart aches for you. Angel got the best home, and I'm glad she was with you.
I was so happy when you went to get her.
She is with Doodle now, and is probably enjoying a nice romp and play in a green meadow with butterflys and grasshoppers to chase, and sunshine and solt breezes to snooze it.

You will be together again, one day.

Fly Free Beautiful One.

My heart is broken for you. What a beautiful video tribute to your beloved Angel. The song says it all. From the moment you announced that Brian was going to drive across the country to go get her, I knew a miracle was taking place. She was meant to be with you, to receive the love and dignity that she deserved. The love you shared remains. Though she is no longer in your arms, she is forever in your heart.

Fly free, Angel. You are loved.
 
I remember your adoption well..."Send me an Angel".

She needed you. You needed her. I am so sorry for your loss.

Now Doodle is in the arms of an angel.

Bless them both.
 
More hugs and condolences coming to you Michelle - I am so sorry.

Such a beautiful "angel."

Oh Michelle <big long heartfelt hugs>

I remember her adoption story all so well, she came into you life right about the same time adopted my Angel who is now my Musette. There are no words to express my sorrow that she has now earned her wings and flown to the bridge, there is only tears for you and your family. But I am so glad that she got to spend her final days as part of your loving family.

OH no (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((MICHELLE))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) I was afraid I would see this. We all rejoiced when your amazing DH took to the road to get her. I am so glad she knew tons of love before crossing the Bridge. Wrapping you both in cyber hugs. Angel is flying free now, whole and healthy over the Rainbow Bridge. rb_icon

I'm so sorry to read this... it's almost too much to bear.

wings_cat Fly fee, Angel... land softly.
 
Sometimes God sends us an "Angel" for but a short while, however the memory of that perfect love they give is kept in our hearts forever.

Reading her adoption announcement again... I am reminded of when my son was sent to Iraq back in the first Gulf War....(Saudi Arabia first).... I asked God to send me a sign that he would return home safely to me. I asked and asked.... A few days later we looked out our livingroom window and about ten neighbors were gathered in our yard pointing up...... We went outside and turned to look up.... There on the edge of our roof, perched majestically with the purest white feathers and regally looking down at all of us... A snow white dove... "You've heard the song... On the wings of a snow white dove, He sends His rich pure love...." She stayed around a few days and left. People around me thought she was someone's pet... I knew better..My son came home, and is living only a few miles away.....

Who is to say that Our Lord wouldn't send you a snow white cat for the same purpose??? Then with you heart healed, her mission complete.... she went home.
 
I am so sorry for your loss. People often talk about not knowing what you have until it's gone, but this clearly was not the case with Angel. Your video had me in tears. I could see the love and admiration from both of you. Fly safely sweet Angel.
 
I haven't been on this board very long, so I never got to know your beautiful angel, but I do know my cats and all that I lost, and I know they will be with me forever, and I'm sure your little Angel will be with you too, in your heart and in your soul.
So, so, so, sorry,
Barb and Daphne
 
Michelle,

What a beautiful video tribute to a truely beautiful Angel. It is obvious you and your family were her angel too. I was at work when I watched the video and just burst into tears. I like many others remember the post on DCIN and your adoption of her was such a joyful moment. I'm terribly sorry you have experianced so much loss lately. Fly free sweet angel and land softly.
 
Oh Michelle. I just watched the video. She is so beautiful and wise looking. Her delicate little whiskers, pink nose and green eyes. I'm so sorry she's gone. I'm so sorry she was so sick. It's heartbreaking to try everything you possibly can and it just doesn't work. I've been there. I know the agony. My thoughts and prayers and with your family. xo
 
Michelle,
Angel and my Peanut walked hand in hand to the bridge together....I lost her the 30th. I knew you and Angel were walking our path and included both you in our prayers. I'm so thankful that Angel found her 'forever' home - the one that was filled with unconditional love, care and cuddles. Angels travel on four paws too.

Big loooong hug - Angel's not gone, you just have to hug her differently.
 
((( Michelle )))

so very sad to read this. The tribute was lovely.
No doubt Doodle has met Angel at the Bridge and they will be the best of friends.

You and Brain and Brielle gave her enough love in your 6 months together to last a lifetime. She was a lucky cat.

My condolences to you all,
 
(((Michelle)))

I am so very sorry.

Fragile Circle
"We who choose to surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our own,
live within a fragile circle, easily and often breached.
Unable to accept its awful gaps, we still would live no other way.
We cherish memory as the only certain immortality,
never fully understanding the necessary plan."

Your memorial video was very moving, Michelle. I started crying with the first picture and remained in tears. I am so very sorry for your loss! Angel was very precious and was very content and happy with your family. You were her hero when you adopted her and offered and gave her the very best of your love. I know how much you will miss her. You are in my thoughts.
