In today’s mail, there was a card from our vet’s office. I rather expected receiving something like that, but I didn’t expect what was inside. Personal messages from our vet and members of his staff - and everyone signed it. And inside was the story of the Rainbow Bridge that Jane mentioned in her comment the other day. I hadn’t known what she was talking about then. I do now and it’s beautiful.
I wanted to thank each of you who has given me kind words and/or hugs (and/or oatmeal chocolate chip cookies). As I just mentioned in an email, I’m still crying but my tears now contain more gratitude than pain.
yeah, the Rainbow Bridge is a beautiful place…Mickey’s probably hanging out with my Booboo right now (well, probably kicking his ass is more like it!)
I’m not one to choke up about cats but I did reading about Mickey. I’m sorry you’re so sad. It’s a bad week for pets… my second favorite lab (a friend’s dog) was put down for illness too. He was quite old. Feel better soon.
Years have past & I am still plagued by crying fits. I just think it is a reminder of how lucky we are to have animals in our family. If they weren’t so amazing, it wouldn’t hurt so much. Hang it there. It gets better.
I think about Misty and I’m brought to tears, even though she’s told me I could rescue another kitty in her place. I still see her sometimes in places she used to love and I cry. I think you always will, because you loved your kitty.
More hugs….
We recently went through something similar. It’s hard. *hugs*
I have so many precious “kids” who are waiting for me at the Rainbow Bridge. It is one of the only things that seems to help. I know I will see them again. It doesn’t matter if it is a horse, dog, cat, hedgehog, hamster, whatever, they are all precious and beloved and will be there waiting.
