My sweet Jasper, it has been one week ago today that I held you in my arms, kissed your little head, and told you to wait for me at the Rainbow Bridge. I only wish you could still be here with me in this physical world, even though there have been times in the past few days when I have sensed your presence so near to me. The house is so empty and quiet without you, it is never easy to go through such a loss as this, but it was just so sudden, and I feel that I was not able to give you a proper goodbye. There were only a few minutes for me to tell you how much I loved you, but I do think you knew and felt the comfort of my love not only in those last moments, but in all of our precious time together. I am just going through the motions now, putting one foot in front of the other, and trying to get through one day at a time. I miss you so much my sweet boy and even though I can't see you or touch you, I can still feel you, somehow you are still here with me, and our connection is so strong, and I never want to lose that. I miss you so much and I just want the time to go by faster, so maybe I can move out of this sad place I am in, and think of you with a smile instead of a tear. Your brother Jingles misses you too, he keeps wandering around the house meowing and looking for you, and he has become my little shadow now, I think he can feel how much we need each other. Our little family is broken and there will always be an empty place without you here, what I would give for just one more day with you.

Hi, jaspersmom, thank you so much for sharing your and your beloved Jasper's one week angel-versary with us. During the deep grief time is measured by the minutes, hours, days, weeks, months since our beloved companion transitioned home to the angels. It doesn't matter how much time we are blessed with the privilege of their sweet precious physical presence - - we will always want just one more minute, one more hour, one more day - - one more lifetime with them. Indeed, in addition to our grief adjustment journey, it can feel as though the house structure itself is grieving their physical absence.

It is so good you and your precious Jingles are comforting one another. One day when you least expect you and your precious Jingles will not feel quite so broken - - and your beloved Jasper will be smiling when this happens.

I hope today is treating you and your precious Jingles kindly, jaspersmom, and that you will have a peaceful evening blessed with your beloved Jasper's sweet Living Spirit to comfort you. Please know you and your precious Jingles are in my thoughts and prayers, and please let us know how you're doing.

Peace and blessings,
