Godspeed, Mimi

[Logan]

Our darling Mimi, 17 years old, departed today, very peacefully and with the grace that she has always shown. Her mom and sister are very, very sad, but we know that we made the right decision. I'm so glad that I have been able to share this wonderful girl with you in the years I have been a member of Pet Talk.

It certainly has been a hard 7 months for us.........

Love,
Logan

Dear sweet Mimi, you will be missed by more people than you even know. You had a wonderful long life's journey and a devoted family to share it with. You can run and play now, at the rainbow bridge with renewed strength. And we know that you will be awaiting a reunion with your human family, one day.

Seek out those other furbabies who have made this trip so recently, and they will embrace you.


RIP Mimi. {{{{{{HUGS}}}}}} to your family.

[Kirsten]

Oh Logan, no... :(

I just came here and saw this. :(

I'm very sorry you have lost your dear Mimi! It's hard saying good bye to a good friend after so many years, even when we may find comfort in the thought that they now don't have to to suffer anymore. When they go, there's an emptiness left that's almost physical. With the passing of time, this emptiness will be filled with all the good memories of so many moments of love and joy.

R.I.P. little Mimi, now you're young and whole again!

(((HUGS))) to your meowmie!

[Karen]

Rest in peace, sweet Mimi! I know there are extra-soft pillows up there at the Rainbow Bridge, and marvelous garden for you to hunt in. You go find my Uncle Mac - he's got a soft spot for feisty girl-kitties, and will surely have treats for you, okay?

[jazzcat]

I am so very sorry your loss. Yet another to strike your family in such a short time. My thoughts are with you all.

Rest in Peace sweet Mimi. You will be greatly missed but there is comfort knowing you had such a long life here and now you are starting anew at the Bridge. Play hard sweet one.

[Corinna]

Logan so sorry to hear of Mimi's passing . Hug that new little critter tighter.

[Killearn Kitties]

I'm so sorry that you have lost your beautiful Mimi. I remember not so long ago that you posted that lovely story, was it Helen's 16th birthday? Mimi was sitting amongst all the girls, taking part in all that was going on.

Mimi had a wonderful life, with you since she was a tiny kitten. She knew she was loved, her whole life.

Rest in peace, sweet Mimi, till we see you again.

[sandragonfly]

oh logan.. I'm so sorry she had departed away after seven of hard months. I don't know what I missed.

mimi, gone but not gone in your meomwie's golden heart. you only came down here and taught everyone your unconditionally love, made a difference (that's no question) then went back where you truly belonged - a peaceful heaven .. full of wings and goldens where they wait to see their caretakers once again one fine day!

sleep, breath softly dear now mimi .. and a gentle ((((logan)))) :(

Logan, I hope you don't mind, but I went back and found some pics of our beautiful Mimi. I was really looking for the one with her tiara on, but I couldn't find that one.

In no particular order.

Many hugs and best wishes to you and your family on the loss of Mimi. She was a beautiful baby and had a wonderful long and happy life with you. Cherish those memories.

[krazyaboutkatz]

Logan, I'm so sorry to hear about Mimi's passing.:( She knows that she was very loved and I'm sure that you'll both met again some day. RIP sweet Mimi.:( ((((HUGS))))

[K9karen]

My dear Logan, my heart is breaking for you and Helen. I know your loss isn't any easier whether you had darling Mimi 2 years or 17 years. She was your heart. Your decision was tough, but she is no longer hurting or tired. She's with her buddies. You gave her the best life ever, fit for a princess. *Sniff* *Sniff* {Hugs}

[anna_66]

Oh Logan, I'm so very, very sorry to hear of Mimi's passing. These last few months have been so hard for you and your family. Many {{{HUGS}}} to you all.

I remember meeting her, she was such a sweet little girl and loved getting scritches from my mom.

[Pam]

Logan, I know how empty your home must feel now. Of course there are other furries to love but your special girl occupied a space in your home and heart for so long. The fact that she lived to such an age speaks volumes as to the love and care she received from you. Debbie the pictures were beautiful. Let us all remember Mimi in her healthy days. Thank you for those pictures. Logan you are in my thoughts. ((((hugs))))

[Laura's Babies]

RIP beautiful girl! You are pain free now and can run and play freely. You will be missed by those that loved you.

[catlover4ever]

Logan I'm so sorry. (((HUGS)))

RIP Sweet Mimi :(

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

RIP dear Mimi... .
This must be a hard time for you Logan, it is so hard to loose a cat.... :(
Lots of gentle hugs for you!

[Logan]

Thank you all so much for your love and concern. And thank you, Debbie and Anna for posting the pictures.

Here is one of my alltime favorites of Mimi with her Honey.

PS. I know I need to change my signature badly. I'm just not ready.

[Randi]

Logan, I know how this is hurting. :( I'm so sorry Mimi had to cross to the RB. I hope you will find comfort knowing she had a long and spoiled life with you.

Rest in peace sweet Mimi - you will always be remembered!

[moosmom]

Oh Logan, I am So sorry for your loss. RIP sweet Mimi.

[smokey the elder]

I'm so sorry about Mimi. She'll class up the Rainbow Bridge with her regal presence.

[AdoreMyDogs]

Logan I am so very sorry for your loss. What a special little girl that Mimi was. Rest in peace, dear little one. Say hi to my furangel friends for me :(

[Barbara]

Logan I am so sorry.
We all know that our older ladies have already a life longer than the average of cats- but I always thought it would stay so forever.

{{{{{Hugs}}}}}

[Uabassoon]

Logan I'm so sorry to hear about Mimi. She was such a special girl and was very well loved. RIP sweet Mimi.

[Logan]

I am having a hard time tonight. Thank you all for your sweet words. I need them. :(

Logan

[catmandu]

Mimi is such a Dear Wonderous Cat, and we know that after 17 years that you will miss her so much.
She is healthy now, and flying about on her new wings and although she misses you, she knows that it only temporary.
Mimi will see you, with all sorts of restaurants you can dine together at, and places that you can see when you are reunited.
One Fine Day.

[Zippy]

I am so sorry about Mimi.
Mimi Rest In Peace

[slick]

Logan, please please forgive me for not posting until now. This pneumonia has really gotten ahold of me.

I'm so very sorry for the loss of Mimi and I know how much you are hurting right now. I wish I could take away the pain, but please take comfort in knowing that Speckles was there to greet her and Mimi is now making lots of friends at the RB. Strut you stuff, Mimi and show the RB just what a royal kitty you are.

{{{hugs}}} Logan.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

So sorry we can't be there in person for real hugs. :(

[auggie]

Logan I’m so very sorry. :(
Mimi was such a special girl and I know how much you loved her.
Unfortunately they are never with us long enough.
I’m sure that some day you will see her again.

[wolf_Q]

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

[Daisy and Delilah]

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. :(

[Donnaj4962]

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.

[Lizzie]

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.

[Logan]

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

[Vermontcat]

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.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v103/vtcat/pets/buttermimi.jpg
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.

[Sevaede]

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

[Cataholic]

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.

[Logan]

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

[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

[catlover4ever]

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.

[Cataholic]

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

[AmberLee]

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

Frolic heartily at the Rainbow Bridge, darling girl.

[Kater]

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.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

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}}}

[Edwina's Secretary]

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....

[Bengalz]

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

[finn's mom]

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.

[Logan]

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

[ramanth]

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

RIP Mimi.. you will be missed. :(

*HUGS*

[Russian Blue]

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.

[Logan]

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

[wolflady]

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 :)

[Logan]

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.

[phesina]

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

Pat

[gini]

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.
