Now I need some tissues for my LES!
I've been a mess all afternoon...We're all in this together, and that is so wonderful...:(:)
Judy(grabbing more kleenex)
**sniff**
**blow**
I'm supposed to be working but as far as I'm concerned this is more important....the gathering of friends to give comfort and support to one of our own.
You are free now Barney. No more pain, no more cancer, but forever basking in the warm rays of the rainbow. :(:(
Here Nomi **hands over the kleenex box**
Sweet boy...I'm sitting here with 2 of our 4 kitties sitting on me, trying to be of comfort...:love:What would we all do without our precious babies??
Judy
sniff, sniff....our dear sweet Barney had 85 virtual candles and endless real candles lighting his way to his new home.
We need to send a huge, long hug to dear Lara. Bless her.
Mary
Grabbing Cindy's hand since she's closest to me but giving a group hug to everyone :( In his short time with us, Barney taught us alot about love. Godspeed little one. :love:
Claudia
to Lara and Scott...:love:
Judy
Pass the Kleenex, please? Here's another group hug (((((((((()))))))))
RIP, dear Barney.
85 candles and endless real ones?! Boy, the RB must be so bright...maybe we should have given dear Barney some sunglasses.
Big {{{hugs}}} to Lara and Scott who desperately need us now.:love::love:
I wasn't near a computer, but I was thinking of Lara and Barney this afternoon. I hope all went well.
sun glasses from all the lights shining for him!:):love::cool:
Judy
Barney should be just as toasty warm as he was in Lara's bathroom with all the candles that are lit for him today.
Claudia, thanks for the hand. :)
I turned on my lighthouse in the front window for Barney at 5 pm. All day long I've had tea light candles burning in a ceramic lighthouse that I have. The last one flickered out at 5:54. I can't help but wonder if that was the actual time....
Kleenex needed here please, and I could use a hand to hold too.
and counting for sweet Barney!!:love:
Judy
passes Kleenex box...here's my hand, Ellie.
Mary
some kleenex...:(
Judy
I have tealights lit in all my saltbox houses on my mantle. It looks so nice and cozy. I know Barney will feel warm and cozy at the Bridge.
Here's another hand, Cindy.
most of the afternoon...It'll feel like summer for Barney...
Judy
Thanks Jennie. :)Quote:

And funny - but I was thinking of sunglasses for Barney too when I saw that candle count growing.
I hope Lara's okay...
My 3 candles in the window are still burning.
Godspeed, Barney, you are home now, safe and healthy and pain-free and happy, where you will await the arrivals of your beloved Lara and Scott, One Fine Day for each one.
Extending both hands to whoever will please grab them,
Pat with major LES and a blurry screen
cleaning up tissues..
It has been wonderful to have you all to hold on to. I need to make myself get up and go feed the fur kids. Take care. Barney should be safely home now.
Mary
Me too.Quote:

And I think we all have the blurry screen syndrome right now.
Dear Barney, I know that you will find a way to let your Mom and Dad know that you are now happy, free of cancer and enjoying the huge greeting you had at the Rainbow Bridge.
Just a gentle paw on their cheek should do it.
Beautiful spirit - enjoy your freedom and health - you will be reunited one day.
(holding hands and picking up tissues)..."Thanks everybody" is right!!!:)Wow! As bad as it's been, it's easier with lots of support from everyone...I hope Lara's okay, too. I think she is...She's strong and has a lot of love and support, and knows that Barney is now free of pain and sickness at the Bridge...:love::)
Judy
I've got you Pat.Quote:

I just got home so I didn't get to light my candle at 5:00 as I had planned. The weather is terrible and so are the roads so it took forever to get home so I ran upstairs right away and lit Barney's candle to help light his way to the Bridge, although I know he won't need it. Barney's sweet little face is light enough. I also lit a candle for Lara. It's so difficult to help a fur child to the Bridge but I think we'll all agree that this time it's really special. I thought of nothing else all day and when I got slowed down in traffic I used the time to say a prayer for Barney.
A round of tissues for everyone.....:love:
**sniff** Here's a big garbage bag. Just dump your tissues in here. I must find a way to dry off my face and collect myself. I surely have to get some work done today.
Welcome home sweet Barney! Thank you for sharing your time down here with us.
Lara and Scott, when you get home, take some time to breath and grieve. When you've settled down please come back and let us know that you are OK.
{{{more hugs}}} all around:love::love:
all afternoon, but thanks for more...We've got icky weather here, too...We had 10 inches of more snow overnight...
And you're right about Barney...His light shines brightly enough, I'm sure, but boy does this little guy have the candles burning for him today!!:love::)
Judy
Thanks Sis.Quote:

We all love you Barney! :love:
for the garbage bag...It's gettin' full!
Judy
I just thought the same thing...It's like going through a storm and now the storm has passed, and the sun is peeking through the clouds...Barney is happy, healthy and free...Let's all be thankful and joyful about that!!:love::)
Judy
Yes, whenever you light a candle, a sense of peace and warmth washes over you, so we should allow this feeling to stay w/us. Barney has been through the worst of it; it only gets better for him from here. Today is his birthday. :)
The "kids" are cleaning their paws after supper, so I'm back with you.
Mary, I'm glad you made it home ok. We're suppose to get your weather in the morning.
Ellie, you're right about just happy thoughts of Barney now. Isn't it wonderful that that little "Scrawny" boy could bring so many people together in love and compassion!! He is truly are angel now.
Just as slick said, Lara as soon as you get settled in, please let us know that you're ok. I hope you felt us with you, you must have!!:love:
Mary
I'll bet he's up there getting fitted for his wings by The Tuxie Troupe!! Quite a sight with all those black and whites just fussin' over their new member! :)Quote:

I'm almost jealous because they are in a much better place than I am. I can hardly wait to get up there and meet them. **happy thoughts**:)
