My Beloved BFF Forever

Don’t forget….somewhere between hello and goodbye, there was love, so much love………When I read this for some reason tears came into my eyes and I had to fight to control my emotions. Very powerful.

I just let the tears flow when they come but sometimes I feel I've cried so much my tears are not always there.
 
This is the 3rd time today I thought Suzy was still here. My attention was drawn to the places in my apartment where she would regularly take naps.

Wow, This grief is something else. I think of the 4 or 5 stages of grief. They don't have to be in any particular order too.

Every night I say goodnight to the four beloved cats I lost. I had always wanted a cat since I was a little girl. When my sister got married and out of the house; when my parents went on a short vacation after the wedding, I snuck Whiskers into our home. My first cat. My parents who were resistant, fell in love. It's been cats ever since.

When I look at Suzy, I see a cat. Sounds crazy. I guess what I mean is I fell in love with Suzy since I first met her here. And your birds, you had birds, (((Ruthanne)))

I don't have the words, but thank you for sharing little Suzy with us. I'm so sorry Ruth, so very sorry for your loss.

I had several cats during my life. They have been gone a long time but I recall how sad I was and teary too when I lost them. Same goes for my birds. I raised them for 22 years. I loved those little creatures too. I even had a pet crow when I was a child. Ty so much for being here too.
 
I believe our animals come and visit us. I was fast asleep one evening when I felt something jump on my bed. In my somnolent state, I could hear the soft footsteps coming toward me and then felt a cat curling up beside me. My cat had been dead for some time and I was certain this was him coming to visit me.

My daughter also had similar episodes. Once while she was in her room, she could hear someone inside her closet trying to get the door open. She got up and of course no one there. Our last cat used to go inside the closet and then open the doors to get out. Funny thing, there was never any fear attached, just a feeling of peace and it just seemed like a normal occurrence.

Thank you for sharing your experience 😊 I slept with my dog's little stuffed kitty toy since she passed. I woke up hearing her bark just one time and it seemed to be coming from the kitty toy. She loved that toy and would grab it from me and shake it then chew on it a little.

She didn't tear it up but it was somewhat worn from her playing with it. So now I have a little stuffed doggie and kitty that sit in her chair unless they are on my bed .

I ran into a woman I knew at the vets, she was a cashier at my grocery. She was putting her dog, who looked just like Suzy, in the vet's crate and turning to leave. She was crying. I asked if her dog was very sick and she said "No, I'm just leaving her to get her nails cut. [pause] You don't understand, she's my life." Awww. That's what our Suzy's mean to us and how much we love them.
