My Sweet Boy Burt

[neely]

di and bob I felt absolutely awful when I saw that I had missed your thread and the sad news about your beloved Burt. Unfortunately I don't read 'Crossing the Bridge' very often. It's just so painful for me even though I need to frequent this section more often to help lend my support. Please accept my heartfelt sympathies and sincere condolences on the loss of your sweet boy.

I can appreciate how much you think of him and wish you had one more day to hold him tight. They not only become a part of our family but part of our being. Cats are so intuitive and share a unique bond with us. Burt will be forever loved and cherished. RIP dear angel.

Don't feel awful, I understand your reasons. It seems self punishing somehow to come to this site, I know it brings up feelings we have so carefully tried to lock away. Btu I also know how much it means to the people who come here. As I appreciate your post and want you to know it means a lot to me. I cherish the seventeen years I shared my life with that sweet boy. Burt was a mommy's boy and always will be, I hold a special place in my heart for that

Giving me such heartfelt words helps more than you will ever know, LovingMickey! Thank you so much.It amazes me that there are such kind and caring people in the world, but then I think, Hey, they are cat people, that's why!
It's so different with losing my sweet boy. He was so loving and quiet, his gentle presence will be forever missed, but he was seventeen, and at the end he was a mere shell of himself. Those last few hours I know he was suffering and it was heartbreaking. I prayed for him to let go because I couldn't bear to see such a good boy go through that. He fought until the very end, and I held him, and I loved him, it was the only time I ever wanted to see one pass over to the Bridge. I am so sad he is gone, but so happy he is at peace now. He will forever be my sweet, good boy!
