Oh no, I am so incredibly sorry to see this. Michelle, my heart goes out to you and Brian.

I can see that it was his time, and it is a relief for him to be free of pain. But I know how deep the hurt and loss go. What special love he brought to your life, and you to his. I hope that brings you comfort.

Fly free, Doodle. Lighting a candle to light your arrival at the Bridge.
 
I watched the video showing the beautiful photos of this spectacular boy, and am sitting here both crying and smiling. How can you not look at Doodle and smile? That sweet face! How blessed you were to have him, and how blessed he was that you cared for him so much.

Love and prayers to you.

Michelle, I am so so sad to read this. I knew Doodle was near the end, but the end always comes too soon. We will miss sweet Doodle. When I learned he was gone, I went to get Beethoven, picked him up and gave him the biggest hug.

Oh MIchelle,
I've always quietly followed you and Doodle's story and now I share your tears. Your video of your lives together is both precious and priceless. Such a wonderful, special boy - Doodle - and such a loving, caring, giving mom - You! Please take care of yourself - it's such a painful time now but you have a most special angel watching over you now.
With the warmest of hugs
Patti and always in my heart - Merlin

What an amazing tribute you created for a very amazing kitty. I was in tears and had to wait and come back to write you.
I remembered a post from a couple years ago..... Doodle was not having a good day and that meant you were down. Dani and Spottie posted a heartfelt response w/ a special quote that I wanted to save, so I bookmarked it. I thought it was perfect to repost it here for you now, along with the link to the whole thread. The old LL gang all rallied around you and it was also Haiku day(remember that ?) and we tried to cheer you up in our silly ways mixed in w/ more serious notes. I liked looking back at it and remembering. Even though you and Doodle weren't having the best day, the best spirit of the board came through. I want you to feel that now. We heart Doodlebug and you -- then, now, forever !

((( Michelle ))), I don't know what a haiku is or how to make one in English. I'm so lost in issues in order to support all things that I don't have the strenght to even post as I should.. I'm so very sorry I'm so late. But I do know what's it like to feel that hollow inside even if it's not your own, and even though I'm much glad that you're feeling better, I'd like to tell you these words I found and printed on my GA cats poster in order to heal the wounds, I hope they can be as comforting to you as they've been to me: 'I have no regrets about the pain I feel. I will embrace that devastation because I know what that pain means. It means I was able to open up fully to another being and love. Grief is a celebration of love. To shut off that channel cuts us off from the greatest gift we have in this life: the ability to love and be loved'. (((( Michelle and Doodle )))

Peace dear sweet Doodlebug wings_cat

((( Michelle, Brian, Brielle )))

with sympathy,
 
Michelle,

I remember you and Doodle from when I was around a couple of years ago. I'm so sorry for your loss, but know that you and Doodle have been an inspiration to me and Guinness, then and now. (((((hugs)))))).
 
(((Michelle))) I am so sorry to read this. You and Doodle fought a brave fight and you were a wonderful mom to him. I'm sure he knows how much you love him. And he will always be in your heart. I'm praying for peace and comfort for you and your family.

Fly Free, Doodle. There are many angels at the Bridge to greet you. wings_cat
 
((((((((((MICHELLE))))))))))) The Tribute was BEAUTIFUL and the video had me bawling my eyes out!! I am so sorry!!! Fly Free Sweet Doodle!! wings_cat
 
(((((Michelle, Brian & Brielle)))))

I can barely see thru the tears to type... the tears won't stop flowing. I am not here very often, but something drew me here today. It was the same the day Meowzi passed. I was drawn here and could not explain the feeling... then I saw Choy Foong's post... and today, yours... neither post I ever wanted to see.

To me, you and Doodlebug were one of the teams that were a legend on this board. Since 2008, I've watched the two of you fight together... with your "customized plan" for "freaks"... which always made me laugh. I was always in awe of your dedication and persistence in Doodle's care... Yours was TRULY a love story... you for him and he for you. That love has always been and still is, so evident and it is that love that will never, ever die. You were meant to be together. He picked you... what a privelege to have been chosen by this beautiful soul.

That was the most beautiful and moving tribute and video I think I have ever seen. Michelle, I know how hard that must have been for you and I am so grateful to you for sharing yourself and Doodle with all of us. My heart aches with yours at the passing of one so very dear. There are many who are grieving with you. You and Doodle leave a legacy of inspiration in this place.... a legacy that will live on. He was, and will always be, one incredibly special boy and he'll never be forgotten.

Doodlebug, you touched so many hearts... so may lives here. Your work here is done now sweet boy, but your legacy lives on. Fly high and free with the Angels now dear one... you have earned your rest. Send your family a sign to let them know you are OK... it will help their hearts. You will be missed more than you know sweet boy.

We think we rescue them... but in reality, it is they who rescue us.

My heart goes out to you and your family Michelle. Prayers for comfort and healing at this most difficult time.

Much love,
Donna and Flamie
 
Oh Michelle I am so very sorry. I have no words.
Your video is just beautiful and does Doodle justice. He would be so honored.

Fly Free Beautiful Doodlebug..no more pain wings_cat

Hugs to you ((((Michelle)))
 
(((((Michelle, Brian and Brielle)))))

True love stories don't end. Your connection with Doodle continues, and so shall your love story with him.

Send signs, gentle Doodle, to ease your family's pain. Show them that love transcends the worlds.
 
Doodle Bug - you may be flying free with all the other GA's now but you will not be forgotten by your family on LL. (((Michelle)))- You were an awesome bean to your Doodle.
 
We are so sorry & sad for you and your family. You did a wonderful tribute to this special kitty, Doodle. We know your heart is breaking. Sending hugs & love, take care. Susan & Lanky
 
Even though we have never met, there are some kitties that you feel like you know, through pictures, video and words from their beans. Doodle is one of those kitties.

Fly free sweet Doodle, may you soar high and wide and have a very soft landing. You are much loved and will be sorely missed.
 
(((((Michelle)))))

I am so sorry about Doodle. I loved the story of how he came into your life. You were a great mommy to him and I bet he loved you so much. May you always keep his memory close at heart.

Jenny & Sue
 
Hi Michelle! What a wonderful tribute to Doodle. I went through a whole box of kleenex I swear!!
Sure looks like he had a fabulous life thanks to the care and love you gave him. They, in turn, love us unconditionally. I'd say it's a pretty great trade off!
You did EVERYTHING you could for him and now he is running and playing like a little kitten again! I am so sorry for your loss!!
 
(((Michelle))) My heart goes out to you and your family. The tears started flowing as soon as I saw the title for this post. Although I am unable to visit much anymore, I would always look for Doodle when I was able to stop by. Your written tribute, as well as the video are both beautiful beyond words. Doodle was so well loved.

Doodle was meant to be yours and you were meant to belong to Doodle. It could never have been any other way.

I wish I had lovely, comforting words but all I have are tears. Deepest sympathy, Juanita and Chika
 
Dammit!!! Michelle, I just saw this. My heart is in pieces for you. I'm so very sorry it was Doodle's time. Another of our old timers has to go. I'm so sorry...it just doesn't seem like enough. You fought so hard. :(

Many, many hugs to you, Brian and especially Brielle!

Fly free dear, dear Doodle-bug. You will be missed, but always remembered. Until we meet again brave boy.
 
Oh Michelle... I was just checking in and I saw this... I'm so, so, so very sorry for your pain. You were the best mom to Doodle, he couldn't have been luckier to find you (and you him). You went above and beyond for your wonderful boy. I know he's at the bridge, chasing butterflies and spending his days with all of our dear GAs that we miss so terribly...

Oh Doodle, you look so very much like my beloved Big Cat who went to the bridge last year in May... Run and play and may your mama bean find peace in knowing she gave you the best possible life... And that you will meet again.

My heart goes out to you, Michelle.
 
Oh, Michelle, I was so, so sorry to see this post...I had no idea Doodle had been having such a rough time of it recently. Tears...

Your post and tribute to Doodle was so moving, and shows how very lucky both of you were to have had each other in your lives. I am moved beyond words. He could not have had a better mom than you...my heart is breaking for you...many prayers being sent to you and your family as you bear this incredibly painful loss.

Doodle was so very special...he will never be forgotten here in LL...fly free sweet precious boy.

(((((Michelle)))))

Judith and Thomas
 
((Hugs)) So sorry, it was time to let Doodle go. :cry: I know how hard it is.

(((((((Michelle))))))) Hope your doing well! Just watched the video again. Fly Free Sweet Doodle!!! rb_icon
 
May you find that peace again with pleasant memories. My prayers and thoughts for you and your lost one.

I always say this to everyone that loose a furkid, and I believe it very, very much.

They take that love you gave with them, it never stops and never goes away.

Regards,

Mike - Buddy, April and Easton
 
Thank you all so much.
I apologize that it has taken me so long to say that. I wasn't able to read your posts until recently because every time I logged on here it was just too much...
But I wanted to tell you all how very much it means to me to see this - to know that you care...

I would like to comment or respond to a lot of the posts - but I hope you will forgive me if I don't.
The ground is still slippery for me...
 
My heart is breaking for you and your loss. It is so very sad and how lucky for your Doodle to have such a wonderful and loving life. I hope you are surrounded by love and caring today and as you grieve. One day we will all be together at the Rainbow Bridge and it will be a wonderful place full of our loving furr babies waiting for us. wings_cat
 
((((Michelle, Brian, and Brielle)))),
What an incredible tribute to Doodle. It was written so beautifully, with so much love, that I'm going to keep it forever... You were both such an inspiration to me (and to Brownie). You were always there to give advice, or just listen, or share a funny Doodle story. You will always be in our hearts. Godspeed, Doodle-bug, until we meet again...
