Godspeed, Mimi

I'm so sorry to hear about Mimi. :( Rest in peace sweet girl.

There are no words that come to me now that can begin to comfort you at this time. I don't know how you can cope. It has to be almost impossible. My heart is breaking for you. Rest in peace beautiful Mimi and play hard at the bridge sweetie. :(

I am so sorry to hear about Mimi's passing. I can only imagine how sad and lost you must be feeling at this time.

Godspeed to the RB Mimi, play hard, and enjoy playing with all the other PT furbabies that have passed.

(((hugs))) and prayers coming from Indiana to you Logan and your family.

I haven't been here long enough to have known Mimi when she was well, but your small photo of her allowed me to see what a calm beauty she was. It's such a shock when they leave so suddenly and with no sickness-related decline; you want an illness to fight to make you feel that you did everything you possibly could, but in Mimi's case her old age caught up with her very suddenly. You did, of course, do everything you possibly could to give her a wonderful life and that's what you need to focus on, even though all your feelings are focused on loss at this time.

It was great when Jen posted photos of Lucas for those of us who are new, and I hope you will feel like posting some of Mimi in her prime, when you are up to it.

Lizzie, thank you. Your words are very special. I hope you will look back in this thread because Debbie and Anna posted some good pictures of Mimi. And I added a couple, myself. I dared not take pictures of her in the last few months as she looked so pitiful. I prefer to remember her in her better days, which they captured in their photos.

Thank you all, once again.

Logan

Logan, I am so sorry that I did not get to post here until now.
I know how special Mimi was to you and that you two spent many wonderful years together.
I know the special bond that you shared with Mimi because I have it with my Samantha.
I am so sorry that Mimi is gone, she is with Murphy and Zipper now.
She was a very sweet girl, who I was honored to meet last summer.
Here is a photo I took of her and Butter when I visited you last July.

Many, many hugs to you and Helen at this time.
Hug that puppy and your golden girls and maybe even Butter boy if he will let you.
We are all here for you whenever you need us.
Sending extra hugs your way.

R.I.P. dear Mimi. You'll always be missed. :(

What sad, sad news to return to. I am very sorry about Mimi, Logan. I know you and Helen made the right decision, at the right time. But, that just doesn't make it any easier, does it? RIP, sweet Mimi. Look over your family.

It is not easier, Johanna, and thank you all for recognizing that. There is a huge void in our home, even though Mimi was quiet and invisible a lot of the time.

I brought her home this morning. Bless her heart. Her little box is so much smaller than the others. Petite, like Mimi, I guess. :(

Logan

Thank you, too, Zoe, for that precious memory! One of the few times that Mimi and Butter were photographed together!!! :) Give Samantha a kiss from me, please.

Logan

Logan, something in my heart told me to come back and re-visit today...I see that you brought Mimi home today. (((HUGS))) today is bittersweet, Mimi is home and your heart aches again so much. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Mimi is and always will be a very special girl.

Oh, Logan. LES all over again. Not a happy homecoming, but, one that will bring you comfort in time. Tex sleeps at the foot of my bed, just like he always did. I keep him in my 'hope' chest. :(

May you find the perfect spot for Mimi, the one outside of your heart, of course.

Johanna

Rest in Peace, sweet Mimi. You left huge pawprints in our hearts...

Frolic heartily at the Rainbow Bridge, darling girl.

I'm so sorry to read about sweet Mimi. :( She had a long life filled with much love. You, your daughter and your whole family will be in my thoughts, Logan.

{{HUGS}} across the miles. RIP always, Mimi.

Oh Logan, I know bringing Mimi home brings some comfort, but not much. Even though her box is smaller, I'm sure it will be a big presence in your home, just like she was.

After I brought Tubby home, I set him on a shelf next to a picture of him. Quite often I found myself drawn there, and I'd talk to him as if he was sitting right there in front of me. It brought me a little comfort knowing even though he wasn't really there, he could still hear me and I knew he was there for me.

{{{hugs}}}

Logan....as I looked at the photo above of Mimi....the song from CATS came to my mind. You know the one where she talks about how beautiful she was? Her coat is rough now but once she was gorgeous....and she will assend and be beautiful again.

That is your Mimi....she is beautiful again....

Logan,

Knowing how painful it is to lose our precious little ones, my heart aches for you. The sadness will eventually pass and all the special memories that are Mimi's legacy will remain. Please know that her spirit will never leave you and that the love you shared with your beautiful baby girl will always be in your heart.

Sending soothing hugs to you,

Betty

Logan, I'm a terrible friend for just now seeing this. I'm sorry. :( For your loss and for my lack of support in your time of sorrow. I hope your family is coping well.

Don't you worry, Kari. You have been a good friend to me through my many losses the last year. Thank you for that.

I hate that my family has grown smaller, but it is still full, obviously.

Thank you all for your good thoughts and prayers. You can't imagine how much it helps.

Logan

Logan, I'm so sorry I'm just finding this. :( :(

RIP Mimi.. you will be missed. :(

*HUGS*

So sorry for this loss Logan. :( Play hard at the bridge Mimi but take some time to watch over your family since the loss runs deep.

It hit me this morning that today is one year since we lost Mimi. You know, there is no replacement for a special one like she was. I'm not sure that any cat can fill her HUGE shoes, even though she was a tiny thing.

I miss her, and Helen misses her too. I was reading back over all of the thoughtful posts that you guys made after she left us and one from Cataholic (Johanna) hit me and I'm going to make a bold move tonight and take those beautiful wooden boxes that contain the remains of Murphy, Zipper, Mimi and Lilly and put them in my hope chest. I have never been able to bring myself to put them out in the open, but in my hope chest, which is almost 100 years old, they will be safe and secure, a much better option than the closet shelf that they are on, right now.

Here we are, introducing a new family member, tonight, and I am so excited about having him here (if you are interested, look in Dog Rescue), but at the same time, I feel a bit somber, reflecting on losing Mimi and all 3 dogs, too, in such a short period of time.

We move forward in honor of the memory of Murphy, Zipper, Mimi and Lilly, though. That's what they would want, as they all 4 cherished our family so much. :) What sweet souls they were.

Logan, Honey, Baby Mack, Butter and Ben

Oh Logan, what a sweet post in honor of the anniversary of Mimi's passing. I was reading through all of the posts here and many of them brought tears to my eyes. PTers are a special lot, as our the furry ones we love so much. Mimi was indeed a very special little lady and I'm sure she still watches over you and your family :)

Thank you, Karen. She was a really, really good girl, and I know you know and understand the feeling that comes with those pets who stick with you through thick and thin. That's what Mimi did for me. :) she will always hold a special place in my heart.

My very deepest sympathy on the anniversary of the loss of your beloved Mimi. Rest in peace, sweet girl.

Pat

Logan, how I understand - I have all of the dates of my kittie's passing - and it hurts all over again to deal with their loss.

You have had more than your share this past year - and here you are with a new baby to dote on.

Maybe that is why - why we lose them - so it makes room for another that needs all of the love your family has to offer.
