Hello folks.

Though I have healed much since two years ago, I still miss my friend Spike. Recently I have posted my return along with the summary of my new beginning with Foxx, my young cat that I've had for a little over a year now.

Of Spike though, it is forever the scar on my heart and soul. Still I cry. I even forgot a posting I had made immediatly after finding this site for the first time about a dream inwhich I had seen him in a pale beige room. In this room were a series of other animals sitting next to one person each, exccept him. He sat next to an empty space.

Today I've done my first tribute to him. It isn't much, not as much as I want to do. I want to share the tribute since I cannot share him Spike in the 'New Beginning Pages'. I still cry. It was hard to make this. If not for me, would those here please visit his memorial for him. If anyone wants me to retell of his death, I'd gladly do so. Just ask and I will. If anyone has suggestions as how else I should honor Spike, please tell me. I woudl love them.

Oakshil,

I can see why you miss your beautiful Spike so much. He is a very handsome fellow. I still miss a couple of the cats that I've lost long ago and my most recent loss of my wonderful Poodle almost 9 months ago is the most difficult loss of a pet I've experienced.

I doubt that Spike is alone as many other animals are also waiting for their human Moms & Dads so no doubt are keeping each other company. At least I sure hope they are as my Flossie needs friends since I know how she hated to be away from me.

I'm so glad you have Foxx to help with the loneliness we all feel after such a loss. They are never a replacement but it does help to have another fur friend to be there to listen to us and greet us when we come back home that lets us know how important we are to them. They make us smile when we may not feel like it.

I liked your tribute for Spike and his picture shows why you described him the way you did. I know you miss him a lot. Remember all those wonderful things you enjoyed about him and try to smile through those tears.
