Look what I had for Christmas..

[CultureJunky]

This Christmas I had the most wonderful present I have ever had in my life.
Kevin had got a book made about Jack for me. For those that may not know, Jack my beloved tabby boy passed away March 4th 2008 after an operation to remove a thyoid gland. It hit me very very hard, and at times I felt I didn't want to live anymore without him. It has been a long and hard road of grief this last year, and since losing him much has changed in my life, I know Jack is watching over me and has initiated all the changes that have happened to me.
Knowing how much I miss my beloved boy, Kevin (my fiance) had a book especially made for me, he worked on the photographs, and wrote the text secretly for months whenever he had a spare moment and it was a gift for me this Christmas. As you can imagine I cried my eyes out when he gave it to me and I sat reading it, sobbing and sobbing. However it is beautiful, and simply the best present I have ever had, and ever will in my life. It is a wonderful tribute to my beautiful Jack, who I love and miss forever.

I wanted to share this with you.

LES
That has got to be the sweetest thing your fiance could ever do. I absolutely loved it. I would be smiling and crying at the same time while reading through and looking at all the pictures.

You definitely have a wonderful man there. :D

[Prairie Purrs]

What an amazing gift! Such a touching tribute to your sweet Jack. Kevin is a treasure!

[wolflady]

This has got to be one of the sweetest things I have ever heard of! You certainly have a winner in your fiance. ;) What a precious and priceless gift! He did a wonderful job with this tribute to your beloved Jack. :love:

[Freedom]

That is a beautiful gift! I know you will treasure it.

[Edwina's Secretary]

wow!!!!!

[Barbara]

How thoroughly beautiful- the idea alone would have been fantastic but it is so well done that I hope it finds a publisher :)

[Donnaj4962]

WOW! I have serious LES here. That is so precious; something you will treasure forever. What a great guy you have to put such thought and effort into that book! :love:

[CultureJunky]

Thank you everybody. I know that all Pet Talker's would appreciate this. All on this forum have animals that are precious to them be it cat/dog/rabbit etc, and all love them so much. I knew that it would be valued here, as to those on this website it's not 'just an animal'. Jack was my soulmate, the love of my life, and it's so nice to be able to show others who will like it too.
I am very lucky to have a human soulmate in Kevin too, I think he found a solace in making the book and it was his own tribute to Jack and how much he misses him too.
If you are interested he had it done by www.bobbooks.co.uk they print and bind the books. He knew of this company through the wedding photography he does as they make albums for the company he works for. I haven't looked at the site myself, but they do all types of books I believe.

To have my very own hard back book of Jack is just the best thing ever. I will treasure it forever and along with Jack's memorial photo album it helps to heal the pain when you have those dark times.

[Randi]

That is an absolutely beautiful book of your Jack - and how sweet of your husband to have it done. You will treasure it forever. :)

I remember Jack very well, he was such a gorgous boy.

[catmandu]

THAT TRULY IS ONE OF THE FINEST THINGS:):) THAT I HAVE HEARD OF , AND WHEN THINGS SETTLE DOWN HERE WITH VET BILLS ETC, THEN I MAY COMMISSION A BOOK ON THE FOUND CAT ANGELS.:cool:
WE KNOW THAT JACK IS SO PROUD, HES TELLING ALL THE OTHER ANIMAL ANGEL FRIENDS THAT HES GOT HIS VERY OWN BOOK NOW!!!:love::love::love:

[Moesha]

[Russian Blue]

How wonderful is that? :love: I can imagine how emotional you became when you went through that book since it would bring back so many wonderful memories.

[shepgirl]

What a thoughtful, kind person your fiance is. This will probably remain your most treasured gift of all. Sometimes men are so amazing and yours certainly proved it with this gift.

[blue]

Ordinarily Ild make fun of a man who writes a book about a cat, not this time.

[krazyaboutkatz]

Wow! What a wonderful gift.:) You have a great fiance and now you also have a great book that you'll cherish forever.:)

[orangemm]

What a beautiful loving tribute to your sweet Jack. And what a wonderful thing for your fiance to do; he's a keeper!

I'm sure you will treasure this beautiful book forever. And it will keep Jack alive in your heart until you two are reunited.

Your Kevin is a very special guy!
