It has taken me more than a few minutes to write this post due to the emotion that I emitted from reading this beautiful poem. There are tears on my face as I reply to this. This is meant for all of us who have watched our babies graduate to the Bridge. I know you got this from Pinterest, but thank you so much AngelsMommy, for sharing this with us.
I just found this on Pinterest. I thought it was nice!
Wow that was beautiful. Thank you for sharing this Kelly

Yea, I have so many boards now, Home decor, furniture ideas, photography (of course), animals/mostly kitties, trees, etc....& more.
You're welcome.
Mrs Greeenjeans==I LOVE your stories about your beloved cats. Soul Cats=That is the greatest term for them. I had one when I was 16 years old-She lived to be 12 which was great for an outdoor barn kitty. She was VERY VERY smart!! She used to like to go for motorcycle rides with me. When she heard it start up and all she would jump up on the gas tank and wait until I wrapped her around my neck and took off==Had to go slow because she didnt like too much wind in her ears but she LOVED it. She was hit by a neighbor boys truck who was obnoxious=Mother heard his truck go by really fast and a few minutes later I came home and saw her lying in the ditch. There were swerve marks where he swerved to hit her. She always watched for cars. She would sit in the ditch and wait. The tire tracks came down off the road toward her. She was the most wonderful soul cat for me. I cant believe someone would do that. I miss her still because she was my childhood friend.
OMG, Kelly, I am just now reading that Angel lost his battle with the cancer. I am SO, SO sorry. But what an amazing support group you have. And I love the scrapbook you are putting together. So far all the pictures are fabulous, but I guess it helps that the model was such a handsome guy
I actually came to this forum today to write about Callie when I saw your thread, and now I need to tell YOU about Callie, and her predecessor, since when we lost her predecessor, my husband said he could never, ever adopt another cat, because it was just too painful to lose them.
Approximately 15 years ago we lost Miss Point. She and DH had a special relationship because I was working tons of hours and DH had a different work schedule where he was home most of the time. When she died he was deeply affected to the point, as I mentioned, where he simply could not bear any more pain. Finally, about six months after her death, he could see that I really wanted another cat, so one day he drove us over to Petsmart when they were having adoption day and told me to go inside and find a cat. He couldn't even go in with me to look at them. I was hesitant since he wouldn't even look with me, but I did it, and came back out with Callie. Well, long story short, he fell head over heels in love with her, and she with him. They were a team. I was nothing to her except her meal preparer and server. Those two became inseparable.
So....there is plenty of room in your heart to love again...when the time is right. Everyone is telling you this, and it IS true. You will never, ever forget Angel. He will always be there in your heart. Possibly beside another cat, maybe two more, maybe 6 more as the years go by. I still remember and think of the wonderful memories of my first cat, who has been gone now for 30 years. And I also, naturally, think of my soul cat, whose been gone for almost 4 years. But when I think of him now, it's not with sad tears, but with a slight smile as I think of the way he made me laugh, or the way he made my heart "sing".
Do you have a thread following what's going on? If so, let me know, so I can follow along. Yes, day, by day,& prayer, by prayer.......
You're welcome.These past few weeks have been difficult with Sebastian. Not sure where we're headed, but I am also taking it day-by-day.
Thanks Margd. I have looked at some urns online, & bookmarked some, but don't think I've found the right one yet. I wonder if I will ever find one that seems right. I will keep looking from time to time to find one.
Those roses are beautiful. And they match Angel's coat, too. I'm glad you got some cat loving time in today. And dog love, as well. That's such a nice space you have for Angel. He was a very special boy.
No, I do not. But thank you for your concern. Many hugs to you.
