It was four months ago today that I heard my sweet Alley's little meow for the last time. In some ways, it seems like it has already been forever since I last held her, but in other ways it seems like just yesterday I had to make that awful decision to let her go.

Some days I still just sit and cry, looking at her pictures and I wonder how there will ever be another cat so beautiful, so special, so perfect. She truly was my soulmate and I will never find another bond like that in this lifetime. She deserved so much better, she deserved another 10 years of happy carefree life. I know that I will never get to hold her again, never feel her soft purr, and it just hurts so damn much.

I miss you babygirl. every day.

Alleys Mama

I just want you to know I know how bad you are feeling today, how much you are missing your girl. I'm thinking of you and Alley....

Love

"Some days I still just sit and cry, looking at her pictures and I wonder how there will ever be another cat so beautiful, so special, so perfect."

I feel the same way about Misty. I feel like he was so unique that another cat just won't add up. But I like to try to see it as Moose Mom said, that Moose helped her find her new cat. Alley probably has a kitty picked already for you.....you obviously have so much to offer!

I'll be thinking of you and Alley today.......Amy

Alley's Mamma ~~ You know I'm with you... Our "anniversary", together... I was thinking of you, and the terrible day in time that we share. I also look at pictures of Caesar, and wonder if there will ever be another pup as beautiful as he was. Oh, why do they have to be so perfect...... I know I will never share that bond again, with any other living being. .... Thinking of you, today, Alley's Mamma, and every time you have been here for me, from the very beginning. I have decided, after the last time I brought up the monthly anniversary here, after what happened, that I would never do this again at this site, as I won't allow any aspect of my baby's memory to be tarnished in any way, either for me, or for him. But I had to let you know today, that I am thinking of you, along with my own personal, unending feeling of loss. Alley will always be with you, and Caesar will always be with me. Again, we can count on them to be there for us, always, when we need their unconditional love. Even if we can now only feel them in our hearts. And I want to thank you for your kind and gentle words, when I needed to hear them the most. *hugs to ~beautiful Alley~ and her mommy*

I love you, Caesar. Always and forever.

Dear Alley's Mom and Amarna, thinking of both of you today...I feel the same way, no one like your pal, buddy, soul mate, I look into the eyes of dogs here and faintly see those familiar reddish gold velvety orbs, not totally or ever will be my boys, my heart aches when I realize this, how can there ever be another to love again...the thought is heart wrenching....remember the blessings of having such a wonderful life experience, many people never get the chance. take it easy today, Peace to you both on this hard day. Much love and Peace to you, Tory, Hrudey's Momma

Thank you everyone. For some reason this anniversary is especially hard. I guess because of the upcoming visit to her grave, the move, the thought of a new kitty, all of it has just been too much.

I just want my girl back.

I feel the same way. My hubby is out of town and my daughter is sleeping, and now would be the time Misty and I would spend a lot of time together. IT's tough.....I know for you with the apartment and all, her supposed to have joined you now. I really feel for you, that's all I can say. She'll be there in spirit, cheering you on.

Hope you survived the anniversary, been thinking of you....Amy

Caesar's Mommy

I has forgotten it was your 'day' too. I know yesterday must have been so hard. Thinking of you and Caesar.

Blessed Be

I just wanted to add that I'm thinking of all of you who are missing your babies on a special anniversary ... today is a first, of sorts, for me. It was a week ago today that my beautiful girl Sadie left our house to go to the vet for a diagnosis, never to return home again.

Her daddy and I are in different stages of grief, which also makes it hard. He is still angry and in the "raw" part -- he had to repress that for days to get through some important business meetings last week. So where I'm just feeling hollow and empty and sad, he's angry and hurt. And I feel guilty about not feeling the same. I still miss my little sweetheart, don't get me wrong ... but as much as I miss her, I'm feeling like it's ok to go on and just be sad. I just miss her sweet face and her Boxer wiggle. I know all of your furbabies had special traits or attributes that each of you miss, as well.

Sending you all gentle cyber hugs as you deal with the days that are harder than others ...

Sadie's Mama

Oof that first week, OMG. My heart just goes out to you. Like you my husband and I 'did' grief differently. What gave him comfort sometimes ripped my heart right out.

I remember counting down the hours till I hadn't seem my guy for a full week, so sad. Cyber hugs to you.

Love

Sadie's Mama

That first week is just hell on earth. It will never get "easy" and you will never stop missing her, but eventually it does become easier to breathe without feeling like you're going to explode. I miss my girl every day and think about her so so much. But now, not every day is spent crying over her pictures... just some of them.
