Flowers and cards

Terry got me these flowers - I think to try and cheer me up. He said he saw them, thought of me and just had to buy them. First of all, the only time I get flowers is on Valentine's day - only! Second of all, they were from one of the leading florists around here, not just the ones you get in the grocery store, so how did he "just happen" to see them. I'm not complaining, I'm just saying that I think he had alterior (sp?) motives that are hard for him to talk about. We're going to take them along on the trip and I've been thinking about lighting the candle on Christmas eve in honor of Tubby. I just thought it was such a sweet, thoughtful gesture on his part - which is so unlike him. ;)

And look at the cute card the Vet's office sent. It had two wonderful poems in it by John Quealy, but I'll post those later. They wrote a little nice thing about how I showed my love for Tubby by letting him go, so I thought it was really nice of them and thought the card was cute.

Tonight is a bit easier than last night, and I'm sure tomorrow night will be better than tonight. One day at a time.

Very touching.

RIP Tubby. . .

Oh Debbie, what Terry is saying is that he LOVES you dearly, and he loves your precious Tubby as well!!! What a precious and loving gesture! I think lighting the candle for Tubby on Christmas Eve is an EXCELLENT idea!

Sweet card from your vet as well. Mine sent me a card with the rainbow bridge poem in it, when Tucker Man passed.

One day at a time, is right!

Very sweet gestures, Debbie. I hope each night is a tinier bit better. I took my RB Bert in the last time - I think it was 8 years ago now - and I still cry for him sometimes. There is a hole in my heart about the size of a ten pound orange and white fella. If I go several weeks without thinking about him - that is very unusual. It made me cry just to write this. Our kitties are just part of our life and it is such a painful thing to lose them.
HUGS

How sweet of him to do this for you..and they are beautiful!
I love the vet's card too..aren't they wonderful. When Mercedes was PTS my vet also sent a card and they called the next day. I thought that was nice of them. They are good people and obviously the same gracie uses now.

Debbie, consider yourself lucky to have someone who loves you so much. Some of us are still waiting.......

As we all know, men sometimes find it "challenging" when it comes to expressing emotions; I guess this is his way. Accept it and love him back twice as much.

When do you leave and how long will you be gone? You must keep us informed of these little details so we don't go looking for you.;) ;)

When I lost my most prescious baby Sambo, I couldn't eat for days, couldn't sleep either. My hubby (then) would stop on his way home and pick me up my favorite take out, trying to get me to eat.. I didn't perk up until he came home one day with a KITTEN for me.. My (then) hubby was not fond of cats at all so for him to do THAT and with that fuzzy little bundle.. How could I stay so sad?

I think you hubby is expressing his sympathy to you and to let you know he understands your pain.. Bet he is hurting too.

Heck, that was back in about the 70's and I still miss my Sambo.. I think Sambo sent me Samantha (both are blackies).

That was so sweet of your hubby to bring you flowers, just because.
It brought tears to my eyes when you said that you will light the candle Christmas eve in honor of Tubby.
I will also light a candle with you.

The was so nice of your vet to send such a wonderful card.

Take care and (((((HUGS))))) to you, hubby and Peanut.

Debbie the flowers are beautiful and I know how something thoughtful like that makes you feel. When I had to put my poodle Pepper down in 1992 Richard sent me flowers from a florist. It was a mug with a rainbow on it filled with beautfiul bright flowers. We were moving into a new house that day and it was a wonderful bright spot in the midst of so much sadness and stress. I still have the mug and cherish it very much. I know how wonderful my husband is and it sounds like Terry is very much the same.

Hugs to you both.

Debbie the flowers are not only beautiful but so precious because of the love and caring that came with them. I think lighting the candle on Christmas eve for Tubby is a very sweet and wonderful idea. My heart still aches when I think about him being gone and I know that I feel nothing in comparison to his meowmie.
Give that wonderful hubby a big hug from us!:)

What nice gestures. Our vet sent us a card when our Patty passed on - the cat on the card looked just like her. We think of her fondly and it gets a bit easier, but I still tear up sometimes when I think of my brave, sweet girl.

Debbie the flowers are beautiful. What a wonderful and beautiful gesture from Terry.

I still cry some nights for Tony, even though it has been 5 years. Tigger is his sister and every so often I kiss her head and tell her to send it to Tony. I know she still misses Tony as well. She has never been the same since he died.

One day at a time and one foot in front of the other is the only way to do it.

The flowers and card are lovely Debbie. :) Terry is such a sweetie.

When we had Sable put to sleep (he had cancer), our vets office sent us a little card. It helps to know they care. :)

That is a wonderful card,and that,and the Flowers,are a fitting tribute,to a dear,and wonderul cat,and the love,that you shared.Tubby,is in with my Cat angel Pictures,and when people see him,and say that he is a Good Cat,he lives again,for a moment,and many People,have said such nice things about Tubby.

Terry just wanted to let you know that he loves you and that he knows how dear your Tubby was to you.
