Wow, I can't believe it's almost a years since my sadie passed and I found this site. That date is less than a week away and I'm feeling sad. The other night I cried a little out of nowhere. It's so lonely without my Sadie.

To all of you who are mourning over the loss of your beautiful babies, just know that you will never forget them. It gets better, in that you can function and think in a normal way again, but you will always miss your precious baby...as well it should be. As I said from the beginning, our tears are a tribute to them and I don't consider one teardrop that dropped.

I miss my Sadie more than I can even express, but I know I will see her again. Here is one of my favorite pics of her.

Hi John,
Sadie is such a gorgeous little girl. Her eyes speak volumes as to her intelligence and emotion. I am not at the year mark just yet but I know that I'm going to need a lot of help as I near it. You have helped so many people here on this forum since you've been here-since I've been here- and I know that you are truly someone very special. I will light a candle for you and little Sadie and please know that you both will be in my thoughts this week.
Take care,
Stephanie

Thank you, Stephanie. You are a blessing. I know we will get through these milestones, even if it means we will have to be reminded of what we lost.

Take care
John B

John,

What a lovely kitty, I am so sorry you lost her. Feb 1 would have been my Sadie's birthday. She will be celebrating it with my blessed Mother, who died Feb. 8. Truthfully, I envy them both. I've been meaning to tell how much I appreciate the quote from Revelations.

Thanks for being there.

Oh John, what a hard time it is for you now that you are around the same time as the difficult time you went through last year. We still go over and over the events in our mind, it is still very painful although like you said we have learned to carry our load of sadness in a better way. Sadie is just such a beautiful cat, I even hesitated to use the word cat, I would say lady, she looks so so intelligent, I totally understand how she could have become your soulmate, she is very special, one can tell. In a way, it's nice to know that she waits by your side too, she will be the one to welcome you when it's your time, just like I hope my soulmate will be there lighting my way to be with him. But meanwhile, I do think that our soulmates light up the way we have to travel and keep reminding us that we have a lot of good to do and this we must do best as we can until we can have the priviledge of being reunited. Hugs John, I hope I really really hope that Sadie will send you a little sign, with these eyes I'm sure that cat can do a lot of magic. Take care, I hold you in a big cosmic hug of 100%cat love.

What remarkable eyes Sadie had!!!

The love in your words touched me deeply this morning. Every ounce of your love for her comes thru with each word.

Special dates and anniversries also trigger my sadness at times as well as bring my joy for having all the memories. But I do know I am better now than I was nearly 3 months ago when my Goliath passed (it will be 3 months on Feb 6th)

The depth of the love we have for our furry kids is truly a gift straight from heaven. Many people are never fortunate enough to have that kind of connection to treasure.

And I know Sadie will be in your heart forver

Bless you on your upcoming 1 year anniversary of her passing on. My prayers are with you.

Special Hugs to you, John, on Sadie's anniversary date. Remember the years you had together and the special ways she had that only you and her knew about. I will hold a special thought for the two of you on Feb 1st. She is still with you, John, because she is a part of your heart....remember that.

Thank you all for your kind replies. What would we do without each other? It's so nice to have people who understand what we are going through.

Sadie is so beautiful, the markings and those eyes. That little touch of orange on her chin. The year is so hard, a little before and for a while after. It can be almost as hard as losing them. I think that some things you just can't handle at first come back up so you can deal with them now.

Just want you to know I'm thinking of you and your Sadie. Sending hugs your way.

Love

Hugs John, I know how hard it is for you. Your baby loved you, and you her, i'm not telling you anything you don't already know. She is such a little queen in all her pics. My favorite saying is that dogs have owners, and cats have staff.

I'm thinking of you, and your baby. especially since she looks so much like my baby Zena.

I am so sorry to hear that you are approaching that terrible 1 year mark after losing Sadie. I'm coming close with Peaches, her date is March 30. I want you to know that you have been such a good friend and strong shoulder for all of us to lean on here. I for one have found so much comfort in your words, and I'm sure I am not alone in this sentiment. I wish I could say something now to help get you through what must be a very difficult time. I know Sadie was your baby, and how much you loved her. Please know that I'm thinking of you.

Hi John,
That first year milesone is so hard, Sadie was so beautiful and those eyes are amazing.
I hope you can think of good memories and that the day is not all sadness.
Thanks for your kind contributions to this site and for replying to my post about my beloved Byron.

Well, it's been one year ago today. I got a little teary and I talked to her and told her how much I miss her and how much I love her. When I look back it is hard to believe it's been a whole year. Part of me still can't accept that she is gone. It wasn't supposed to play out like this.

Other than that I'm doing good emotionally.

John B.

Today can not be an easy day for you John, I am all heart with you, sending you a hug; take care, hope many magical moments brighten the days to come, I hope Sadie has sent you angels to make a little magic.

Thanks Toonie. It's been a pretty good day. Sadie may be sending me messages...knowing her it is to tell me to get over myself, because living or dead it is still all about her and not me. lol. She was quite the diva. Well I started the paragraph out well, but now I'm starting to break down. I miss her so much. Gotta go.

Thanks
John B.

Sadie: Today is a one year anniversary since you have been gone. You are such a beautiful baby and your Dad treasures every memory of you. We know your soul is now a part of his heart so you two will always be together. We know you miss him every bit as much as he misses you. Your time came too soon. If you can give him a sign, let him know that you really are now an angel that will always watch over him and love him very much.

John, You and Sadie are in my thoughts today and I will be lighting a candle for her.
Many Hugs-
