    What a beautiful poem. Thank you, Liz.

    Rascal, you are home now, and always with your beloved Gini. Blessings to you both.

    Oh, how my heart aches for you, Gini. There truly are no words at this time, this we all know too well. Time is the healer, and I wish you six months to pass in a blink of the eye, so that fond memories can bring some comfort. You are held dear by so many, and we share your grief so that it may lighten a bit. Rascal was an orangie, loved by many, none so deeply as you. He knew that, I am sure. Treat yourself gently.

    Awww Gini, I'm so sorry to hear about Rascal.
    Losing a best mate is never easy. Please know that I feel your hurt, and if there is anything I can do from afar, just give me a yell....k ???
    RIP Rascal, time to go play over the Rainbow Bridge with all of those kitties who have gone before you.

    Dear Annie and Emma:
    I know that your household seems different now and I know that you feel the difference. Use this time to cuddle up to Meowmie as much as you can. All of you need each other right now.

    Gini, never far from my mind and I hope you are reading these messages of healing and love.

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    "In their relative verbal silence, their souls seem to take up more room, therefore you feel the emptiness/void even more acutely."

    My niece sent this to me and it describes exactly how I feel.
    Rascal was a cat who was very much with you - talking to you - sitting by your side - curling up with you at night.

    Even though I have Annie and Emma - there is a huge void in the house - because yes, his soul did take up a huge amount of room at my home.

    I deeply appreciate all of your thoughts and prayers and love. So many have been through this - so I know that you understand the
    pain and loss I am feeling.

    Poem For Cats

    And God asked the feline spirit
    Are you ready to come home?
    Oh, yes, quite so, replied the precious soul
    And, as a cat, you know I am most able
    To decide anything for myself.

    Are you coming then? asked God.
    Soon, replied the whiskered angel
    But I must come slowly
    For my human friends are troubled
    For you see, they need me, quite certainly.

    But don't they understand? asked God
    That you'll never leave them?
    That your souls are intertwined. For all eternity?
    That nothing is created or destroyed?
    It just is....forever and ever and ever.

    Eventually they will understand,
    Replied the glorious cat
    For I will whisper into their hearts
    That I am always with them
    I just am....forever and ever and ever.

    Liz, thank you so much for this beautiful poem with such lovely thoughts that our hearts are intertwined forever and ever with our pets too.

    Gini, you are most welcome. It's one of my favorite poems & it helped me so much during sad times. I hope Rascal whispers into your heart soon, that all is well with him & you will meet again.
