(I think papa might talk to his suitcase, too…)
Well, little by little mama and papa are trying to adjust to the hole I left in their lives…
I guess when mama stops talking to papa’s black and white sweater and papa sees that I am actually not mamas furry boots lying halfway under the bed, they will start healing better…
I had a lovely life with them and I think my words from the garden will help all of this get a little less sad, petit à petit….
The memories of you will help bring smiles to your mama and papa’s faces, Loulou.
Oh, yes, they do, they bring smiles every day as there is a portrait of me by our lovely artist friend, Ann, who is no longer with us, like me. I am loved. Now and ever by mama and papa and so many friends who made my life so full of joy! I thank you!
I love living with my cats
Mama feels that full joy of living is simply not able to have without us kitties! Tme will heal all…mama and papa are so glad to have me in my beloved garden.
It’s a long process…..and it’s not “letting go” as much as it is “adjusting to the new normal”. Our humans do miss us once we’re gone because we added a special THING to their daily routine. We made them smile, laugh, cry – we were entertainment and company as well and whether they realized it or not, we watched out for them every minute of the day. Angels here on Earth and now Angels elsewhere. Angel Sammy told me all of this as he says now that he’s no longer here he sees things more clearly. All I know is that you enriched your Mom and Dad’s lives (and ours too!) so rest easy in the Garden dear Loulou. You deserve it….
Hugs, Teddy
Lovely thoughts, dear Teddy, and thank you so for this. I shall tell them many things for without my kitty knowledge, I don’t really know what THEY would do, haha! We are so wise, we kitties, and our anthros so fragile at times.
We are wise and they are fragile and that works both ways…..I think that’s why we all have such a GREAT and happy relationship with the humans in our lives!
Hugs, Teddy
Oui, we have to take care of our anthros…we know so much about how to live and can pass on many wise suggestions about that. As in….Plant nip, or Better close that kibble bag a bit tighter, or Mama, time for head rub. NOW! Thank you, mama.
One day at a time for your mama and papa, Loulou, and the pain will slowly ease.
Oh, Militza, you are so wise, and yes it is easing because I am still talking with them and you and the sweet anthros who have sent messages of calm and love. Merci.
I’m still here, and Mrs H still confuses me with items of furniture and clothing, MOL
Humans; they love us so much that we become inseparable from everything, including UPVC windows, it seems. Not sure that’s a compliment, but they are expensive windows 🙂
HAHA Erin you crack me UP! Knowing you it is evident that you are inseparable from anything for your wonderful family. I’m now mixed up with a black flower pot in the garden but mama is realizing that I was softer and cudlier….
Maybe this is a hint that either the pot needs a cat painting on it in your most excellent tuxie likeness, or another Tuxedo cat is due to come by. 🙂
Oh, oh, oh, another Tuxie? Well that’s food for thought but I think there will be a little time before that (maybe) could happen…still, I do have cousins I could hint to….
It IS hard for them, isn’t it?
Sending lots of love and hugs.
🥰❤️😺❤️🥰
It is very hard but I am soothing them, too, in my own way, and letting them know that I will be in their lives for a long time and that is a soothing thought for them.
You left a big hole, but I am sure your spirit is with them. XO
Oh, my spirit is in every waking moment, Ms E, and mama is soothed by that despite sudden cloudbursts of tears that seem to catch her off guard. I’m sure all mamas and papas of kitties who have left have those bursts…but they help.
MOL!!! dee mum duz that to me a lot!!! i cood be in dee same room and she will go thru dee houze looking fur me, or she thinks dat a pile ov my muffin blankiez iz me when i yam not there at all. Win dee Honey Sunshine wint away, mum used to see her shadow going down dee hallway, in fact, she still sees Honey’s shadow going down dee hallway. Sum times dee mum yells owt “hi honey!!!”
Oh, it’s so good to know that other mamas do what mama is doing and that it’s just part of the healing process and I am with them no matter what, forever and ever, and I will be in the garden very soon and REALLY with them, helping spring come to our house.
Yes, LouLou, the trick is to keep getting up the next morning, no matter how sad you feel. I also know of people whose kitties are still on this side of the Rainbow Bridge who sometimes have conversations with black sweaters or white towels “by mistake”.
Well, the conversations are pretty wonderful and even if a bit teary at time, we still communicate and always will…
I agree LouLou you must make return visits just to check up on Mama and Papa. Angel Madi pops in here a lot and every crook and cranny in the house has a Madi Memory…
Thank you for your kind wishes for tomorrow.
Hugs Cecilia
You are so welcome and we send you good happenings! I am in every corner, too, and mama and papa love that, even if it sometimes makes them tear up suddenly. Grief has a time and it goes in its own speed…and I am so glad for no pain.
Mom still sees Raz and Allie sometimes. (((hugs))) to your Mama and Papa,
Well, we do like visiting our beloved mamas and papas and it helps them so to know that we will.
It’s quite the difficult adjustment Angel Loulou, human are most fragile creatures.
Oh, that is so wise and yes, they are. We kitties are very lucky to be so able and wise to confront this strange world and adjust so easily…But they will learn, from us.
You still bring smiles for them and for us too, sweet Angel. A smile and a tear is still here too, but effurry day a little better✨ Soft Pawkisses for your mama and papa🐾😽💞
Effury day is better and better, you are right, and memories are so sweet and help so much.
