My precious baby girl passed away peacefully just after 4pm this afternoon. Her daddy and I were by her side holding her and whispering softly how much we love her as she made her way to the other side of the Rainbow Bridge. She passed with her head in my hands, very gently and very peacefully.
My sweet princess, there was nothing more that I could do for you. There was no trying to make you comfortable. The glint and glimmer that was always in your eyes was gone and I knew in my heart that I could no longer be selfish. Daddy and I enjoyed 13 + years with you. You made every day bright and we already miss you dearly.
The last gift that I could give to you was to restore your body and soul by helping you to pass. I knew when you started purring as we waited that it was the right thing for you, and as the vet tech held you in her arms before taking you away...that glint was back in your eyes and I knew that you had made your journey and were already playing and making friends.
Godspeed Tigger Lou...kiss Tony when you see him again. You are with us in spirit and will return to us as ashes in a few days.
Thank you everyone for the prayers that you sent Tigger's way...the prayers and thoughts...I know that with these thoughts and prayers I was able to be strong and I was able to give her one last gift. She would not have wanted to suffer and when I came home from work this afternoon I knew that it was time....she was not the Tigger that I had always known.
Here are some of the last pictures that I took with her over this very special weekend.
Daddy saying goodbye.You certainly were daddies girl.
Mommy and her Princess Pea. (Tig was as small as a pea)
This is the photo that will go in front of her ashes. She will be reunited forever with her beloved brother Tony. The way that I will always remember the two of them together.
Thank you for letting me share with all of you.
