My Emerald Girl

[Bengalz]

Kass,

I hope you're well and wanted to let you know I have been thinking about your recent post about Nakita. The pain in your words has once again grabbed my heart and it's taken too long to respond.

It so reminds me of how long it took me to accept the losses of my previous furbabies. Many things since have helped - especially having Eve choose us to be her purrents

Of significance in many of my past thoughts was the revelation that life with my RB babies has helped to make me who I am today and in many ways, those lessons haven't ever stopped. They taught me well and made me a better person. Everything I know to do for Eve and the wonderful love I share with her are largely the benefit of the many years of experience with August and Roxy. I am grateful for the time with them and even more grateful they taught me so much about myself.

Your time with Nakita is and will be infinite. She has given you a gift that will stay with you always and when you're ready, her gift will guide you to a happier time.

Great big hugs to you and Rob - I hope you are soon able to draw on your memories and smile. Nakita will, no doubt, be smiling with you.

One year ago today, my precious Emerald Girl passed away. We all fought hard to save her but it wasn't meant to be and her 4 years on this earth were cut way too short.

My heart was left in pieces and even now, a year later, I'm still feeling bruised from Nakita's sudden passing since she was my ultimate companion.....she was my heart.

So, as I keep her wonderful memories close at this time, I thought I would share the other thing I still have, her pictures. Hopefully the Photobucket program will work, it's the first time I'm using it:

Nakita Tribute

Even after a year, I wanted once again to thank all of you behind the scenes who helped Rob and I through her illness, passing and the grief that followed. You're all angels and we're so very thankful and honoured to know each and every one of you. Your actions, words and comfort helped us more than you know.

Kass, yes it works. What a wonderful tribute to sweet Nakita. Every time I'm at a cat show and I see a Russian Blue I always comment how I've never seen one as gorgeous as Nakita. She sure had the most beautiful emerald green eyes that I've ever seen.

She left you way too soon and I know that you're still hurting inside. I wish there was something that I could say to give some comfort. All I can say is that you will see each other again some day and I'm sure that she'll continue to watch over you and your new furkids. She'll continue to be missed but she'll never be forgotten. She was one in million. Please take care. ((((HUGS))))

To see her as a kitten...what a dear little girl! There are a few pictures where I see a happy kitty smile...she loved and trusted you both - what a 'shoulder cat'! You two were so totally committed to her, and she knew it.

Near the end, Kass, I recall you saying she gave you a look...that it was time, and she trusted you to help her then too. You and Rob know you did the right thing - and such a rich treasure and love as Nakita is never lost.

I hope she can give you some sign, if she hasn't already. How perfect that she had you two, and you had her.

Her life could not have been better.

Thank you for sharing the memorial pictures...{{{{hugs}}}}

Your Nakita was a very special beauty. A once-seen-never-forgotten kind of cat. I think of her often, and it is so lovely that you have so many beautiful pictures of her.

It is good to be able to look at them and remember her.

Nakita's tribute was beautiful. She is watching over you and Rob right now. You will all meet again someday.
