My Sweet Mickey....

Aug. 22, 2001- We brought you home to live with us.
Aug. 22, 2011- 6 months ago the Angels took you home to live in Heaven's
Beautiful Garden.



You came to us as this frisky 5 year old and grew into this still frisky 14 year old.



My sweet boy...there are soooo many loving, happy, and fun memories, too many to write here.
But they are in my heart and soul to stay forever......I found this poem for you, my little one:

Golden Memories
They say memories are golden, well, maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories, I only wanted you.
A million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly, in death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place no one else could fill.
If tears could build a stairway and heartache make a lane.
I'd walk the path to Heaven and bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us back one by one, the chain will link again.

I love you my sweet Mickey Boy....I sent a donation today to help a
little Malti-Poo girl. I know you would love her.

Love Forever from your Mama and Daddy..XOXO

Oh Love My Mickey

That poem is THE saddest poem I have ever heard. Many people here in the USA use it in people's obituaries. For three years after my mother passed, I couldn't even read the words, "If memories were a staircase" without breaking out in sobs.

Please know that your beautiful Mickey is remembered and loved by all your Lightening Strike friends and all their fur babies who are now in the Perfect World with your Mickey. There they continue to guide our steps, watch over us, love us and are loved by us exactly as they were when we could see and hold them. They've "made it." Now we have to live lives that honor their lives so we can make it there too.

Thank you SO much for sharing the pictures, thoughts and the poem.

Thank you for sharing that poem. It is beautiful and made me cry!

I know Mickey is watching you from Heaven, and misses you as much as you miss him. (((Hugs))) as you remember him, today and always!

Dear LoveMyMickey, Sending you some HUGE hugs today, thankyou so much for the lovely photos of Mickey - and the poem is beautiful (even if it did make me cry), please know Purszi and I are thinking of you and Mickey Leejaye PS The donation to the little maltipoo girl is a beautiful tribute to your Mickey, he must be so proud of his Mum

Thinking of you, LoveMyMickey.

I know the 6-month mark is hard.

Thank you so much for sharing those precious photographs of your boy, he has the cutest little face ever. You can tell his sweet nature just by looking at his pictures.

I can picture his sweet, happy little face at the Bridge, wagging his tail, and playing with all of our furangels. I just know that he is much-loved up there.

Hang in there,
Cheryl x

Hi, LoveMyMickey, just checking in with you to see how you're doing, and to thank you for sharing your and your beloved Mickey's six month angel-versary with us. What a handsome fellow he is - - I adore his red harness - - how striking it is on him. He wore that harness to help keep him safe in your loving care during his earthly journey - - but now he is doesn't need to wear it - - unless he wants to, as the angels have an exact replica for him - - to show off how his mom kept him safe.

Thank you so much, LoveMyMickey, for sharing your beloved Mickey with us, and for your loving, caring words of comfort and hope. I hope today is being kind to you, my friend. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, and look forward to knowing how you're doing.

Peace and blessings,

Hi LoveMy Mickey,

I'm coming up on Gretta's six-month anniversary soon - and it's 4 days after my birthday. I think I'll move her date up and my date back by 2 days each so we can share the same day. Mickey is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO special. I know all the LS dogs, cats, bunnies, ferrets and all other kinds of fur babies in the Perfect World had a big party for him - and he took the floor for hours bragging about the most wonderful mom on earth - YOU!

Keep well, my friend,

Gretta's mom

A beautiful poem LoveMyMickey (definately tear worthy) and the pics as well. 9 months next month for Sir Thomas. 5 years, 10 years, it's never enough time. Hugs

Sorry for your loss. I know there are so many "firsts" that bring pain. The first month without Mickey, the birthdays, holidays, 1/2 year. It's been close to 16 months for me, and I'm still struggling. It's often difficult to come to this site now and see all the pain. Your poem captured the love you had (have) for Mickey. Peace.

My Dear Friends.....I thank you ALL for your kind and comforting words. Everybody here has helped me so much even though everybody is hurting. I feel that we all have been so blessed to have found our little soulmates.....I hope we all can find peace someday.....

Hugs,

LoveMyMickey

Dear LoveMyMickey,

You have done so much for me and now I want to tell you how much you are loved for loving your Mickey so much, for so long. Your Poem was perfect in describing now and all our futures.

Six months.....a minor eternity. But you've made it this far and are an inspiration for those of us who aren't very far long yet.

Give yourself a hug from me & Trevor and tell Mickey we love him, too!

Bobbie

Dear LoveMyMickey,

You've been very much on my mind this week. I know we're both hitting our 6 month anniversary of loss this week and I know the pain you're feeling. I am so sorry and wish I had the magic words to help ease the pain in your heart. I love the poem you posted for your sweet Mickey. It's beautiful and brought tears to my eyes - actually, I had to stop reading and then go back to keep the waterworks from starting. It's still so painful and I know you feel the same way. I'm sure Mickey and my little Peggy are spending time playing together, until we can be with them. Please know you and Mickey are in my prayers and I hope you're doing well.

Big cyber-hug to you,

Peggy

Posted by: LoveMyMickey Aug 26 2011, 06:22 PM

Dear Bobbie and Peggy...Thank you both for your kind words......

Bobbie.. there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you and sweet Angel Trevor. I hope your days will get better.

Peggy.. I remember our 6 months was the same week. You lost your Peggy on my husband's birthday 4 days after we lost Mickey. I hope you are doing better too.

Hugs to you both,

LoveMyMickey

My Dear Sweet Angel Mickey,

It has been 7 months and 1 week since you went to be with the angels. I cooked the last of your frozen chicken breasts yesterday. Through tears I cut them in little pieces like I did for you. I gave our little black stray cat some in your honor. I remember you saying "hi" to our little strays.......Sweet Mickey, we miss you more every day, but you have made your "sweet living spirit" known to us in many ways.....We haven't put all your things away, but of course you probably know that.

You remember the little girl Malti-Poo that I gave a donation to in your memory, well, last night her picture wasn't on the website and that scared me. I emailed them and the lady said she was okay and that her foster mom wanted to keep her, but they don't have much money. So daddy and I decided to keep helping them with a little donation each month.

Sweet Mickey, I know you will meet up with her in the future when she becomes an angel. She is 9 years old and has had some health problems. Her name is Concheta and here are two pictures of her...................Until later, my baby boy, always remember mama and daddy loves you with all our heart and soul. XOXOXOXOXO


Concheta

Posted by: moon_beam Sep 28 2011, 05:46 PM

Hi, LoveMyMickey, thank you so very much for sharing with us your heart-filled love letter to your beloved Mickey - - and for the adorable pictures of your "foster" child Concheta. It is so o o wonderful that you will continue to help the foster family with financial support so that they can keep Concehta in their family. And how special that you gave the homeless waif a helping of your beloved Mickey's chicken. Your beloved Mickey has never known - - once he came into your heart and home - - hunger, and it is so very special that you offer nourishment to those who are not fortunate to have this security in loving honor to your beloved Mickey.

I hope today is being kind to you, my friend, and that you will have a very peaceful evening blessed with your beloved Mickey's sweet Living Spirit to comfort and cheer you. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, my friend, and always look forward to knowing how you're doing.

Peace and blessings,

Dear LoveMyMickey, Thanks for sharing your lovely letter to Mickey - you can bet he is so proud of his mum! Moon_beam beat me to it and spoke all the words that are in my own heart for you, sending you huge hugs my friend, Leejaye

Posted by: Tom's Dad Sep 28 2011, 07:23 PM

LoveMyMickey

I wanted to add my "ditto" to what's been said about yout letter to your precious Mickey. I too was touched by your generosity to the stray kitties. I know of at least ONE special man cat that's keeping him company these days

Posted by: LoveMyMickey Sep 29 2011, 01:07 PM

Thank you all, my friends!

I got a heartwarming email from Conchetta's foster/forever mom last night. She is so grateful for the help. She said she told Conchetta that somebody that she had never met, loves her. And Conchetta gave her kisses.



UPDATE: 7:00 PM...Little Concheta needs prayers. Her mom was giving her a belly rub last night and discovered a lump in one of her breasts. She has surgery tomorrow. This breaks my heart.

Posted by: Gretta's Mom Sep 30 2011, 06:37 AM

Dear Love My Mickey

My special prayers are storming heaven today for little Conchetta (and you and your hubby for being SOOOOOOOOOOOO generous and finding such a wonderful way to honor Mickey and help another dog and her mom). I don't know this for sure but let's hope that, like in humans, most of these lumps turn out to be benign. OK, all you spirit animals: Mickey, Gretta, Trevor, everybody .... "Everything is going to be all right."

Gretta's mom

Posted by: leejaye Sep 30 2011, 06:42 AM

Dear LoveMyMickey, Adding my prayers for little Conchetta, I know Mickey and Mischief will send her all the help they can - huge hugs for you my friend, Leejaye

Posted by: LoveMyMickey Sep 30 2011, 12:15 PM

Gretta's Mom and Leejaye....Thank you so much for your prayers and getting all our spirit animals together to watch over little Concheta. I got an email a few minutes ago from her mom saying she was back home, still groggy, but giving lots of kisses.....The vet said the tumor was small and he didn't see any more cells, and the biopsy results will be back next week.......

Posted by: moon_beam Sep 30 2011, 05:35 PM

Hi, LoveMyMickey, just getting caught up on your news and am so glad to know that little Concehta's surgery went well and that she is home with her mom recovering nicely. I am so hoping that the biopsy will show that the tumor was merely a benign cyst. If it shows anything else it is so wonderful that Concheta's mom caught this lump so early. Please keep us posted as to how things go.

Hope today is being kind to you, my friend, and please know I always look forward to sharing your news. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

Peace and blessings,
moon_beam

Posted by: LoveMyMickey Oct 5 2011, 05:57 PM

Thank you moon_beam.....I got an email from little Conchetta's forever mom this afternoon. She said the vet called and said the tumor was NOT malignant!

I have tears of joy and happiness. I asked my Spirit Dog Mickey to watch over her and he did, plus everybody's prayers. I want to thank everybody who said a prayer for her......We plan to keep sponsoring her as long as we can.

LoveMyMickey

Posted by: Gretta's Mom Oct 5 2011, 07:01 PM

Halleluia!

Mickey the Spirit Dog and all the other fur babies and all the people who prayed for Conchetta - we were all heard by our Maker - and she is OK! I cannot tell you how exceptional I think your generousity is in helping Conchetta's mom bear the expenses of adopting her. You'll have all KINDS of feathers, fur, scales, and any other coverings in your heavenly crown!

Say a little prayer for me, too, please. Gretta's six-month angel-versary is coming up in 5 days.

Thank you for all the help and friendship over the past half year, LoveMy Mickey. It's been a real blessing to meet you.

In love,

Gretta's mom

Posted by: leejaye Oct 6 2011, 02:48 AM

Dear LoveMyMickey, Hurrah for Conchetta!! I am so very glad her results came back and were good - this little girl is so blessed to have you as a godmother, I bet that little Mickey is rallying the angels to look out for her too! Thanks for letting us know how she is going, Leejaye

Posted by: LoveMyMickey Oct 6 2011, 12:41 PM

Dear Gretta's Mom and Leejaye...I thank you both for your kind words......

Gretta's Mom...I want to thank you also for your help and friendship and I will say a big prayer for you. The angel-versaries are the saddest times. I really don't look forward to Christmas this year.

Leejaye...I also want to thank you for your help and friendship these past few months. You are in my thoughts and prayers too.

Hugs,

LoveMyMickey

Hi, LoveMyMickey, just being able to get caught up on your wonderful news about Conchetta. I am so o o happy that she is home and recovering from her surgery - - and that the results are benign!!! This is a blessing. I am so happy for you and Conchetta's mom.

I hope today is being kind to you, my friend. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, and always look forward to knowing how you and Conchetta are doing, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Mickey.

Thank you moon_beam. Conchetta and her forever mom are doing well. We want to help them as long as we can.

My Sweet Angel Mickey:

It has been 8 months today since you left us to be with the angels. It seems so much longer and yet it seems like only yesterday. I have been cleaning my computer room and setting up my new computer this week. I found little crumbs of mini Butterfinger candy bars where you and I would share one each evening while I was on the computer........I have been putting some of your small pictures in little frames and I have lots of others scattered on a table where I can easily see them.

Oh, my sweet Mickey, your daddy and I miss you so much, and we still hear your little noises and feel your spirit. The song "If I Could Turn Back Time" has been going through my mind today. I wish I could turn back time so I could kiss your sweet little silky head and hold you in my lap. But then it would be so hard to let you go again.

We love you and miss you so much, Sweet Angel Mickey.

'Til we meet again....Mommy and Daddy..XOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Posted by: Gretta's Mom Oct 22 2011, 04:01 PM

Hello LoveMyMickey

Eight months is both a very long time - when every day you're missing your soul's other half - and a short time - it seems like only yesterday that that beautiful being was walking beside you.

Thank you SO much for your love and friendship. It's meant a lot to me as we both travel this lonesome road they call grief.

BUT ............ we WILL be reunited ...........what a glorious day that will be. Time will be no more. Love will be as always.

Thank you again, LMM

Angelversaries are always the hardest. Just know that our fur tribe keep both him and you in our thoughts and prayers. It's a nice tribute that you are able to put out so many pictures. I only wish I'd had more of Tom. Take care friend.

Posted by: moon_beam Oct 22 2011, 08:52 PM

Hi, LoveMyMickey, thank you so much for sharing your and your beloved Mickey's 8 month angel-versary with us, and his sweet picture. I know looking at pictures is not the same as looking into his eyes and face, holding his face in your hands - - but the pictures that you treasure of him are always in his heart and he is sharing your treasured memories right along with you.

I hope today has been kind to you, my friend, and that you are having a peaceful evening blessed with your beloved Mickey's sweet Living Spirit to comfort you. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, and always look forward to sharing your news and your treasured memories of your beloved Mickey.

Dear LoveMyMickey, Sending you my hugest hugs my friend, thankyou for sharing another picture of your gorgeous boy - you are right, as much as we long for one more minute with our angel, how would we ever let them go again? I hope the world is kind to you today, please know I am thinking of you and your family and that Angel Mickey, Leejaye

Posted by: LoveMyMickey Oct 29 2011, 06:39 PM

My friends, thank you for your kind words......



To My Sweet Angel Mickey:

Today was my birthday, the first one without you for the last 10 years. But I am so grateful for the 10 birthdays I did have with you and I know your Sweet Living Spirit was here with me today. Your daddy ordered me a big ole pizza and some chicken strips. I know you would have loved the chicken and I missed giving you some of my ice cream. Daddy also gave me an angel wing necklace shaped like a heart with a little dangling paw in the middle, in memory of you.
My sweet boy, I know you wanted my birthday to be happy, but I miss you so much that I can't hold back the tears.
So until later, my baby boy, remember "I will always love you".

XOXOMommyXOXO

Posted by: Tom's Dad Oct 29 2011, 07:32 PM

LoveMyMickey HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I didn't know yours was so close to mine. My bad. Enjoy the pizza and chicken, sounds like a nice combo. And the necklace sounds beautiful. Thinking that your Mickey and my Thomas are looking out for us makes me smile. I'm sure they have gotten to know each other and are good friends. I always did say Tom was part dog Again, enjoy your B-Day and know that Mickey is looking down on you with a heart filled with love for his mom.

Posted by: LoveMyMickey Oct 30 2011, 12:01 PM

Thank you for the birthday greetings, Tracy. That's okay, you had no way of knowing when my birthday was. I had a good day, but emotional......You said Tom thought he was part dog, a lot of times we would say Mickey was part cat. Like you said, I'm sure they are good friends and looking out for us.

Thanks again,

LoveMyMickey

Hi, LoveMyMickey, just being able to get caught up on your news. Thank you so very much for sharing your and your beloved Mickey's angel-versary with us - - this one being your birthday. How sweet of your husband to give you such a beautiful gift - - the necklace with a paw insert. I know you will be wearing this close to your heart always.

I hope today is being kind to you, my friend. Thank you so much for the blessing of your friendship, LoveMyMickey, and for honoring us by sharing your beloved Mickey with us. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, my friend, and always look forward to sharing your news and your treasured memories of your beloved Mickey.

I know how much you miss that Angel Mickey - I hope you can find some comfort in kowing he was right there helping your husband choose that beautiful necklace and enjoying the chicken and icecream as much as he always did, hope you have a moment of peace today, huge hugs my friend, leejaye

Posted by: LoveMyMickey Nov 10 2011, 07:32 PM

Thank you my friends, moon_beam and leejaye.....

Leejaye and Purszi, thank you for the beautiful picture, cake, and flowers. Don't worry about it being late, I was late seeing it. Mr. Purszival is such a beautiful cat.

Yes, I believe Mickey was sharing my birthday. We still hear things that sound like him. I heard a little clicking sound last night, sounded like his toenails on the hardwood. I do miss his sweet little face looking up at me when he wanted that something special to eat.

Thank you ALL for your friendship.

LoveMyMickey

My Sweet Little Angel Mickey...(this is very hard to write)....It has been exactly 9 months ago today since the Angels called you home. It seems like you have been gone forever, but yet it seems like only yesterday that I was looking into your sweet face....I don't know what stage of grief I'm in, all I know is I still get tears in my eyes every day. Some days all I want to do is look at your pictures on my computer, makes me feel like I have had a visit with you. Your big mattress bed with toys is still laying on our bedroom floor. We still say goodnight to you every night while looking at your pic on my cell phone.

My Sweet Boy, this will be our first Thanksgiving without you. I remember giving you little bites of turkey that you really enjoyed and of course your ice cream. I remember how you loved half frozen broccoli. I would get it out of the freezer, thaw it out a little so it would still be a little crunchy. You would look up at me at the kitchen cabinet with those pretty bright eyes and I would give you some little bites.......I don't think I will be able to eat much this year.

Sweet Boy, I won't say, "I hope you have lots of turkey up there" because the turkeys up there might have been somebody's pet. Anyway I hope you and all your angel friends have lots of treats and fun playtime.

Sweet Mickey, your daddy and I love you and miss you more each day.

Hi, LoveMyMickey, thank you so very much for sharing your and your beloved Mickey's angel-versary with us. The holidays can be very challenging as they are yet another reminder that our beloved companions are sharing these special occasions with us from their heavenly home. I hope you will feel your beloved Mickey's sweet Living Spirit close to you letting you know that he is with you now as he always will be. He is saying, "yes mom I remember how special it was getting those yummy holiday treats - - thank you so o o o much." Whatever you may fix for your Thanksgiving dinner, please know the aroma of your dinner will drifting upward to your beloved Mickey and he'll be saying, "gosh mom, that smells so o oo o good. Enjoy, mom!!!"

I hope today is treating you kindly, my friend. Thank you for sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Mickey with us. Thank you for the blessing of your friendship, LoveMyMickey.

My heart goes out to you on this angelversary. This will be my first Thanksgiving w/o Tom. Even though last year I worked both days due to necessity. I know that he and Mickey are looking down on us with love in their hearts. Always try to remember the good times you had with your special boy. Peace.

My Sweet Little Boy Mickey....This is our first Christmas without you and the song "Blue Christmas" has been constantly playing in my head. No more will I get to take a picture of you enjoying your Christmas treats and toys on Christmas Eve. No more will we get to see you play with your toys and enjoy your Pupperoni which was your favorite. No more..............

On a little stool in front of the unused fireplace in the living room, I placed a little lighted tree, a flameless angel candle, and a little framed picture of you and 2 of your past sisters that you never met. I also placed some of your favorite treats there, plus your Christmas bag that you stuck your head into.

Your daddy thought he saw you the other night in the light of the little night light we had on. He heard a noise, woke up, and he said it looked like you standing with your paws on the side of the bed wanting help to get on the bed. But when he reached over to help you, you faded into the background. The next night I dreamed of you and when I went to rub your little head, I woke up. Was that your Spirit, my sweet boy, or was it just something in our head? I want to believe it was your Spirit.

My Sweet Boy, I am thankful for the 10 Christmases we all had together. Although it is so painful now, I would not give up those Christmases for anything. We had some good times and some quite funny. I hope you and all the other animals in heaven have a beautiful Christmas (which I'm sure you will) and don't forget to wish Jesus a Happy Birthday.

Sweet Mickey, we love you and miss you more each day. It has been 10 months tomorrow the 22nd, since you went to be with the Angels.

XOXOXO Mama and Daddy XOXOXO

Hi, LoveMyMickey, thank you so very much for sharing your and your beloved Mickey's angel-versary with us. I do so know the sadness you are feeling in your heart this holiday season, and how empty all the "celebrating" feels.

I truly do believe your beloved Mickey is visiting you and your husband to reassure you that he is with you just as he always was during his earthly journey and as he always will be. These experiences are truly not "figments of your imagination" or "wishful thinking" -- they are REAL Although your beloved Mickey cannot share this Christmas with you in his physical body, please know that his sweet Living Spirit is ALWAYS with you, for even though he is in the company of the angels his heart is forever with you wherever you are.

I hope today is treating you and your husband kindly, LoveMyMickey. It is always a blessing sharing your news. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, my friend, and I hope you and your husband will have a very peaceful evening blessed with your beloved Mickey's sweet Living Spirit to comfort and cheer you.

Peace and blessings,

LoveMyMickey

A first holiday season without our beloved companions is indeed hard. This will be our second (last year it was too near Christmas to feel "real") My heart goes out to you. I believe your Mickey was indeed paying you some visits. Those are special moments. I wish I had a better way with wods (like moon_beam) but am wishing you and yours here on earth a peaceful joyous holiday. As well as for Mickey, Thomas, and all the others in heaven.

I wish for you many Blessings in the New Year and I hope your job/job decisions will work out well for you. Give Noah a special pat for me......Hugs..

LoveMyMickey



Dear Tracy...I thank you too, for your friendship. Your words are always kind and comforting and I know they come from the heart...I hope you can find happiness with your furbabies during the holidays and I wish for you many Blessings in the New Year. Give little Theresa and Tang a special pat for me....Hugs..

I'm always thinking of all our little Angels.

Dear LoveMyMickey, What beautiful pictures of your boy - I know how hard Christmas must have been for you, even though I had the joy of sharing firsts with little Purszival, I also felt all the things I will never do with my Mischief girl again...I hope you had a peaceful and happy Christmas with your loved ones (I know Mickey was right there with you), sending some huge hugs and thinking of you and our Angel Kids, Leejaye

Posted by: LoveMyMickey Dec 29 2011, 07:30 PM

Hi Leejaye...Glad you liked the pics of Mickey. Christmas was pretty hard, but the little memorial I had set up in the living room helped. Every time I felt the tears coming on, I would think of the good times we had with Mickey.....And yes, I believe he was right there with us......I'm really glad you had Purszival with you this Christmas, but I know it was hard without Mischief.

Leejaye, my friend, I wish for you, your family, and the furbabies many blessings in the New Year. Thinking of our Angels too......Hugs...

My Sweet Little Boy Mickey....We are entering an earthly new year without you and it is so sad. You remember how your daddy and I would celebrate New Year's Eve sitting snuggled up with you on the couch watching the ball drop on TV? Of course you do. Well, last night it was just your daddy and me and your little picture. But I could feel your Sweet Living Spirit right there with us. Sweet Mickey, I am so thankful for what we do have, but I want you sooooo much.

Your daddy is beginning to wonder if you sent that little stray black cat to us. Your daddy thinks he/she might have been born around the time you went to the angels. I think maybe you want your daddy to keep his busy morning routine because that's when he would take you out to go potty. Now he feeds the little cat when he shows up. He didn't show up today, hope he's okay.........Sweet Mickey could you send a little fuzzy white dog that looks exactly like and acts like you? Mommy is just joking around, maybe she had too much sparkling apple/grape juice last night.

Sweet Mickey, it will be a year this Feb.22, since you left us. We still have your bed in our bedroom with some of your toys and there are lots of your things in the basement. I have a good cry down there when I do the laundry. I listen to your bark and my voice recorded on your treat ball every so often.

We love you soooo much, my Mickey Baby, and miss you so much that it hurts........I know you're having a happy new year with all your little heavenly friends and we will keep on trying.....Goodnight my Sweet Boy.....Until next time....

XOXOXO Mommy & Daddy XOXOXO

LoveMyMickey

What a sweet and touching tribute to your special little man. I do think he sent Blackie your way the same as Tom sent Tang mine. I too hope he's OK. The holidays are always the hardest remembering the fur kids we have lost. Know that you and yours are in my thoughts and prayers.

Mickey was a beauty.....
My heart goes out to you, especially during the holidays....

Posted by: LoveMyMickey Jan 2 2012, 01:42 PM

Thank you Tracy.



My Sweet Little Mickey.....Mommy is having a bad day. Somehow I feel like I am losing you all over again as we go into this new year without you. I put a new bedspread on the bed this morning and felt like I was removing part of you, but I put the folded fleece blanket back on the foot of the bed that you always leaned against. I keep two of your little toys there too.

I looked out the kitchen window today and saw the snow falling on your little gravesite, the first snow since we put you there. It looked so cold. Sweet Mickey, I know you're not really there, just your earthly body, but it still looks sad.

The other day I found a perfect piece of your hair in a decorative glass in the kitchen. I don't even remember putting it there, but I must have when I was grooming you, (I groomed you a lot but you loved it). I added it to my locket with your other hair. I am wearing it today.......My Sweet Boy, until next time............XOXOXOMommyXOXOXO

LovemyMickey
My heart goes out to you as I can completely relate to these emotions that are inundating you...Just remember that Mickey resides in your heart and the grief that is encompassing you is proportional to the love you feel for Mickey...which is evidently tremendous. I believe that we will be reunited with our loved ones again, and this includes our fur babies. Until then, realize that you will have good days and some not so good days....It is part of the human grieving process...And try to give yourself some credit for giving Mickey a beautiful life; he looks so happy (and handsome) in those pictures....

Hi, LoveMyMickey, thank you so very much for sharing with us how you're doing and your beautiful love letters ot your beloved Mickey. I, too, understand how you're feeling about the "new year" not being quite so bright without your beloved Mickey's sweet physical presence to share it with you - - in spite of knowing that your beloved Mickey's sweet Living Spirit is FOREVER with you. Since we live in a physical oriented world, it is normal to miss the physical presence of your beloved Mickey.

I hope today is being kind to you and your husband, LoveMyMickey, and that you will know your beloved Mickey will always be with you continuing to share your earthly journey -- for he is forever a part of you - - he is forever a heartbeat close to you. Thank you for the blessing of your friendship, please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I look forward to sharing how things are going with you.

Peace and blessings,

Dear LoveMyMickey, Just to say I am thinking of you and your lovely boy - I know our babies are still with us but the reality of a whole new year with out our angel kids physically by our sides knocked me around too, it just doesn't seem right...sending you some huge hugs my friend, Leejaye

Posted by: LoveMyMickey Jan 13 2012, 02:04 PM

Moon_beam and Leejaye, thank you....


My Sweet Little Boy, Mickey,

Mommy is back to say hello and that I love you more every day. It has turned sooooo cold here with a little snow, but I picture you in "Heaven's Beautiful Garden" with all the other pets, in the warm bright sunshine. I was looking at your water bowls this morning and got a few tears. They are pretty new and I wish I had bought them sooner, but you enjoyed your old ones. Mommy is always thinking, "why didn't I" or "what if". But I know we all should stop thinking that, because we all do the best we can at the time. You know you were spoiled rotten, don't you? Sometimes when I would brush you, you would turn over on your back and open your mouth like a big smile, then I would tickle your belly. I would always call that "playing rotten".

You remember Concheta, our little cyberfriend? I sent her a Christmas present and her forever mom bought her a green and white rope pull toy. It was just like the one I bought you when we first got you. Anyway she sent pictures and Concheta is doing well.....

Speaking of pictures, I have been putting 10 years of pics on my new computer, some I hadn't looked at for quite awhile. My goodness, your daddy, me, and you had really changed over the years. But some of your old and new pics looked the same especially when you were eating your Pupperoni treats. You were always cute and funny.

My little baby boy, mommy and daddy still look at our favorite pic of you at night and tell you goodnight. We still have some of your things laying around, but you probably know that.......Until next time, my little one, remember we love you and miss you more every day.

XOXOXOMommy and DaddyXOXOXO

God Bless All The Animals.

My Precious Sweet Mickey,

It has been 11 months ago today since you went to be with the angels. As I look at the heavenly glow of the angel candle on your picture, I remember so many sweet things you did on your earthly journey with us. I remember when daddy and I would go sit in the living room you would join us. You would get in yor little bed, look to see if we were there, and then lay your little head down for a nap. All was right with our world.

My sweet boy, I hope everything is right in your heavenly world today. Nothing will be right in our world until we can be with you again. The living room is so empty without you in your little bed, it's such a sick empty feeling deep in my soul. Will it ever get any better, I don't know. I just know we still miss you and love you so very much.

Sweet Mickey, I send you kisses on your head on the wings of a snow white dove.

XOXOXOMommy and DaddyXOXOXO

Hi, LoveMyMickey, thank you so very much for sharing your and your beloved Mickey's angel-versary with us. I do so understand the empty feeling you have in your heart, for this is the part your beloved Mickey took with him to have a part of you with him until it is your appropriate time to join him in eternal joy. Unfortunately there is no date on the calendar you can circle and say "this is the day when it won't hurt so much." This only comes one day at a time, my friend. The good news is that your beloved Mickey's sweet Living Spirit is forever with you in your heart and your memories - - NOTHING can ever take this away from you.

I hope today is being kind to you and your husband, and that you will feel your beloved Mickey's sweet Living Spirit to comfort and cheer you. Thank you again, my friend, for sharing this very special day for you and your beloved Mickey with us. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, and always look forward to knowing how you're doing.

Peace and blessings,

What a wonderful Valentine's day post...I love all your posts (and look forward to them so) and can feel the love you have for him. It's so touching and so honors his memory. I am sure he is heaven waiting for you to be reunited with him.
Mark (and Bicky)

Posted by: LoveMyMickey Feb 22 2012, 12:15 PM

My Sweet Mickey..I started your Lightning-Strike journey here with this picture of you and I will end your first Angel-versary with it.
My Sweet Boy, it has been a long, sad, lonely, emotional year since you went to be with the Angels. There is no magic at the end of
the first year that will take that away. I will continue to cry, talk to you, and continue to leave some of your things out.

Three days ago, I was feeling more peaceful and then I found three more of your little treats under the bed.........I know you want us to be at peace and we want you to be at peace too. But we'll never stop missing your sweet little earthly body and the things we did together.
I know we will meet you again someday in Heaven.

Day before yesterday, I found a little Sparrow under the birdfeeder tree that had just died. My Sweet Boy, we buried him beside you and he went to Heaven to be with you. I believe that was a sign that we all are taken care of.....I remember the gospel song inspired by the
Bible, "His Eye Is On The Sparrow and I Know He Watches Me"......Sweet Mickey, take care of the little Sparrow too.

Until next time....My Little One, we'll always love you and miss you. You'll always be mommy's baby and daddy's buddy.

XOXOMommy and DaddyXOXO

Dear Love My Mickey,

Please accept my loving, supportive wishes on this one year Angelversary of your sweet, wonderful Mickey's passing into Heaven. This must be such an incredibly difficult day for you and yet you find Mickey-signs amongst your deepest sorrow. I know that Mickey is so very proud of you, not only for making it to the angelversary, but also helping so many of the rest of us on this site. You share your wisdom, experience, thoughtfulness and, most of all, your heart.

Even though I don't mention Mickey's name too often in my note to Trevor, I KNOW that they are good buddies and are busy helping all the newbies (including sparrows and canaries) orient to Heaven. Dare I say this? I think they probably find some innocent mischief to get into, also. Trevor also went to Heaven on the 22nd (of July), so Mickey was there to greet him and for that I am deeply grateful.

I'll be saying extra prayers for you today and wish you peace and love, especially the Mickey-love you so deserve!

Love,
Bobbie

Hi, LoveMyMickey, thank you so very much for sharing with us your and your beloved Mickey's one year angel-versary. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful heart-filled love letter to your beloved Mickey with us. It doesn't matter how much time passes in our continued earthly journey. Our beloved companions are forever with us in our hearts and memories, and nothing - - not even the passage of time with age - - can ever take this away from us.

LoveMyMickey, I hope today is being kind to you, and that you will have a very peaceful evening blessed with your beloved Mickey's sweet Living Spirit to comfort and cheer you. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, my friend, and that I always look forward to sharing your news and your treasured memories of your beloved Mickey.

Hi, LobeMyMickey

I also wanted to stop by to offer our thoughts and support on this your first angelversary. It's a difficult time, I know from my own recent 1 year mark. Mickey will be with you in your heart and soul forever. I'm touched by your thoughtful gesture to that poor little bird, and continue to be so by your kindness to Blackie. I just know Mickey is up in heaven (with Tom and all the others) saying "Way to go, mom!" Peace and blessings from

I know I'm a few days late, but I wanted to come and check how you were doing on the one year mark of sweet Mickey being gone. He is such a handsome boy. I love seeing photos of him. The sparrow story moved me to tears. I bet that little bird is riding around on Mickey's back while he runs and plays with all the other animals. I know I am not posting much in other threads, but I do come in and read. I hope you are doing well.

Posted by: LoveMyMickey Mar 2 2012, 01:00 PM

My Friends, thank you all for your kind and comforting replies....


My Sweet little Boy Mickey.....I just want to stop by to say hello and to say your daddy and I love and miss you more than ever. Our first daffodils have bloomed and I put a fresh flower on Annie's and your little gravesites yesterday.

Mommy is sad today because a cyber-friend - email friend passed away yesterday. When I sent her pictures of you, she would call you "Cool Mr. Mickey". If you meet up with her, give her lots of heavenly love and kisses. She had kind of a hard time here on earth.

Sweet Mickey, please ask your guardian angels to watch over us today. We're in the prime target for tornadoes this afternoon. My little one, mommy is asking a lot of you today, but I know you can do it.....Until next time, here's lots of XOXOXOXO coming your way.

XOXOMommyXOXO

Hi, LoveMyMickey, thank you so much for sharing with us how you're doing and your beautiful love letter to your beloved Mickey. I am so sorry about your loss of your cyber friend. I know how that goes, and it's as much a loss as losing a human family member or friend that is physically close to you.

You are in my thoughts and prayers that you will be safe from the storms today. I hope today is treating you kindly, and that you and your husband will have a very peaceful evening blessed with your beloved Mickey's sweet Living Spirit to comfort you. I look forward to knowing how you're doing.

Thank you moon_beam....We had a tornado warning around 5:00 this afternoon. We went to the basement. The hail and wind sounded fierce, but no damage here. I hope you and Noah stay safe if you get storms overnight.



Thank you, my Sweet Mickey, for watching over us. I missed having you on the couch in the basement snuggling between daddy and me. But we could feel your Sweet Living Spirit. You loved the basement so much....So goodnight my darling baby boy....Until next time..

Posted by: Gretta's Mom Mar 3 2012, 09:26 AM

Good morning Love My Mickey

My heart is with you during this especially sad time. That hymn "His Eye is on the Sparrow (and I Know He Watches Me" is one I have sung thousands of times over since my Gretta went to the Perfect World. Those old hymns and spiritual had such powerful and consoling words - especially when you remember the circumstances under which they were written. I often have to strighten myself up by thinking, If they could do it, so can I.

Mickey-dog, like Gretta, is a veteran now in the Perfect World - welcoming in the newcomers, showing them around all the warm, fun things and places, and listening to days and days of bragging about their wonderful earthly parents. They're heroes up there like they were on this earth. Hold tight to the thought that one day we'll all be together again - never to be parted.

I'm no good singer, but I'll send you a song I sang at Bobbie's Trevor's homegoing ceremony - to the tune of "Go to Sleep You Weary Hobo" -by Woody Guthrie.

Meanwhile, here's a big hug and sloppy kiss coming to you from me and my "big-boy" Rufus.

Gretta's mom

Posted by: LoveMyMickey Mar 3 2012, 01:08 PM

Kristina.....I'm glad you liked the sparrow story. He probably is riding around on Mickey's back like you said. ..I hope you are doing well today and I hope you all didn't get those awful storms....((((HUGS))))


Gretta's Mom...I love the old hymns too. I would love to see the words you sang to the tune of "Go To Sleep You Weary Hobo"....The tune itself sounds sad......I hope you are doing well today and give Rufus a big ole hug back for me.....(((HUGS)))


God Bless you all...

My Sweet Little Mickey.....We had such a beautiful warm sunny Spring day today. This is our second Spring without you, my little one. I got tears thinking of how you enjoyed laying and looking out the open patio door, enjoying the breeze and sunshine. You always enjoyed watching the birds and squirrels. My goodness, the birds were really loud today. I think maybe they were talking to you. They knew you were a good boy and would never hurt them..........Then I remember you are in Heaven"s Beautiful Garden and enjoying beautiful sunny warm days just like me, but with just one thing wrong, we're not enjoying it together. My darling boy, I look forward to the day that we will be together and enjoy everything.

Little Blackie still comes by and visits and eats. Late last night I saw him laying in a big flower pot on the front porch. I guess the soil felt cool.

Goodnight, my sweet little boy, your daddy and I love you and miss you so much. You are so special....Until next time.....

Hello Love My Mickey

Yes, the original song is sad. My Gretta words are

CHORUS:
Go to sleep you weary humans
Let the tears fall from your eyes.
Can't you hear us doggies playing
That's the Soul-dog's lullaby.

VERSE 1
I know that sickness took me from you
It causes trouble everywhere
But now I'm living in a safe place
And there is no more sickness there.

VERSE 2
Don't you worry 'bout tomorrow
Let tomorrow come and go
Tonight you'll hug a nice warm pillow
And a part of (Gretta's) soul

VERSE 3
I know the road looks rough and rocky
And your hearts are fuilled with pain
But when you die and come to heaven
We'll be together once again.

Hope you like them. They ARE both sad and hopeful. (I have a couple of more VERY sad verses in which I apologize to Gretta for causing her pain because I didn't know how sick she was and for leaving her at the vet school hospital on her very last night on earth.)

Thank you for remembering us, Love My Mickey. You and little Mickey-the-Fluffy are always in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you for being a friend.

Gretta's mom

Posted by: LoveMyMickey Mar 15 2012, 12:05 PM

Oh Gretta's Mom...Your Gretta words are beautiful. I agree they are both sad and hopeful.... Of course now I have leaky eyes. Thank you so much for sharing and when you are ready, I would like to read the other one.

Gretta's Mom, I thank you also for being a friend and you, Rufus, and your family are in my thoughts and prayers....God Bless...

LoveMyMickey

Posted by: Gretta's Mom Mar 15 2012, 03:14 PM

Hi Love My Mickey

GET READY TO CRY! Here are the last two verses of "Soul-Dogs' Lullaby"

I'm sorry for the pain I caused you
All because I did not know
That you were sick and you were hurting
And that was why you walked so slow


I'm sorry that I left you with them
On what would be your last night here.
Can you forgive me for that, Gretta?
That's what my heart most longs to hear.


I don't sing these much any more. It seems they get sadder as time goes on. Thank you for asking about them, LMM. Someday they won't be necessary - for anyone (Gretta and me, you and Mickey, and every person and animal who's living in the Perfect World.

Have a good night and send some cheery thoughts up to Mr Mickey!

Gretta's mom

Posted by: LoveMyMickey Mar 16 2012, 11:38 AM

Gretta's song to her mommy:

Wooooo Wooooo Wooooo,

Mommy, in the end, as always,
You did nothing wrong,
No matter where I was,
I felt your love oh so strong.

I don't want you to be sad,
There is nothing to forgive.
A happy life, I want you
To always live.

"And I Will Always Love You"

Wooooo Wooooo Wooooo.......

Posted by: Gretta's Mom Mar 16 2012, 03:08 PM

Love My Mickey

How can i thank you enough for Gretta's Song to Her Mommy? It reached deep into my heart and soul and gave me the answer to the questions that have been knawing away at my heart for almost a year. Gretta, it's almost your one year Angelversary in the Perfect World. I'm supposed to giving YOU presents - and you gave me the greatest gift of all: peace of heart. No, you go find Mickey and tell her what an extraordinary mom she has!!

Gretta's mom

PS You KNOW I made up some more verses! I don't think this song will stop until we're reunited.

[font="Century Gothic"][/font]
Please take good care of little brother
He needs your love as much as I.
And when we all get back together
There'll be no need for leaky eyes.

Up here we live and laugh in sunshine
And understand each other's words.
For we are all God's special creatures,
Protected by a loving Lord.


Thank you from heart-to-heart, Love-My-Mickey, for this most precious gift.

Hi LoveMyMickey

I am finally getting a moment to check in with you. The storms somehow went to the north and south of us-completely missing us by just a few miles. We did get some debris up here though. If they would have shifted just a bit it would have been right on top of us.

I hope everything is well with your family. Dixie's birthday is on Monday, so I am trying to think of a way to celebrate. What did you do for Mickey's birthday?

Posted by: LoveMyMickey Mar 18 2012, 12:05 PM

Thank you so much, Gretta's Mom. I didn't realize that Gretta's Song would make such an impact on your heart and soul, but I'm so happy it did. You are so very welcome for the song.

I love the verses you added and I believe the song will get quite long......Gretta says, "Keep on singing Mom!"

Hugs,

LoveMyMickey

Hi Kristina....I'm glad the tornadoes didn't hit your area. Seems like here lately, we watch the weather channel more than anything else.

The only thing I did for Mickey's birthday last Sept was post a birthday thread here. I talked to him all day long and called him my "Birthday Boy" just like I did when he was physically here. And of course, shed a lot of tears.

I hope Dixie's birthday won't be too sad for you......Give your other doggies a special pat for me and I hope they are doing well.

Hugs,

Hi, LoveMyMickey, it is always a blessing logging in to read your beautiful love letters to you beloved Mickey. Thank you so much for sharing your and your beloved Mickey's eternal love bond with us.

It does seem that no matter how much time passes there is a part of us that always remembers the day that our companions joined the angels along with all the wonderful treasured memories of their earthly journey with us. The good news is that your beloved Mickey continues to share your earthly journey and is sharing all the memories you continue to. Hopefully you can hear his sweet voice say, "hey, mom, that was so funny when you did this / that," or "hey, mom, I'm so sorry that you're worried about Blackie. I'll try to find him and send him back to you", and on and on and on.

I hope today is treaing you kindly, LoveMyMickey, and that you will have a very peaceful, blissful, and cozy evening blessed with your beloved Mickey's sweet Living Spirit to comfort you. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, and always look forward to knowing how you're doing.

My Sweet Little Mickey,

After I got up this morning and while in the bathroom cleaning up, I got to thinking of our whole life together, almost 10 years. I was also remembering step by step when the angels took you, which makes me very sad. I was wondering why am I thinking all this today. Then I remembered, it is the 22nd, 13 months since you went to be with the angels. Another angel-versary.

My sweet little little boy, I just want you to know we still miss you sooooooo much, of course you know that. Seems like you've been gone forever, but yet it seems like only yesterday I was snuggling with you and kissing your sweet head.

Goodnight, my little one, rest well with your friends.

Hello Love My Mickey

The picture of Mickey in the doroway was unbelieveable!!Would you mind if I downloaded it and added it to my gallery on unbelieveably loved dogs?

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Love My Mickey, for the beautiful verse you wrote to Gretta's song. They continue to touch and console my heart. Our babies went to the perfect World about the same time and I'm sure they're the best of friends. Thank you for being MY friend.

Thank you Tom's Dad, Moon_beam, Fayfay, Gretta's Mom for your kind words.

Gretta's Mom, of course you may download the pic of Mickey and any others you might like. It would be an honor to have his pic in your gallery of unbelieveably loved dogs.

I dreamed about Mickey last night, I was trimming the fur around his mouth. Then the alarm went off.

I'm happy you liked the poem and I thank you for being my friend too. Oh yeah, Gretta and Mickey are friends, and Mickey probably follows Gretta around wanting her to play.

May God Bless our Angels,

My Dear Sweet Mickey:


My Sweet Little One...This is our second Easter without you. Seems like you have been gone forever. Your daddy and I miss you more every day. I hope you and all your friends have a happy Easter and if you all have an Easter egg hunt, I bet you find a whole lot because you are a fast runner. I know you willl share with others because you always shared things here on earth.

I sent an Easter email to little Concheta and her mommy said she is doing well. Her mommy fosters little doggies so Concheta always has a playmate.............Also Blackie the little stray cat (we believe you sent), is doing well, but still likes to stay outside. We keep him well fed.

I have a request, Gretta's little brother, Rufus here on earth has to have an operation. I hope you can gather your guardian angels and all the spirit animals and say prayers that he will be well.

My Baby Boy, I miss snuggling with you so much and kissing you on your little head.......Until next time.....

Oh thank you SO much, Love My Mickey. And you're a genius with the artwork. Wouldn't you trade it all for our furbabies back? In a way, though, after all this time, deep in the back of my heart I KNOW Gretta and Mickey are so much better off where they are now - even though it still hurts us.

Thank you for the moving tribute to Mickey - the "seconds" seem even harder than the "firsts". Thank you also for the good wishes about Rufus. With all those fur babies praying for him, I know he'll be fine. (Here he comes now asking for a walk!)

Happy Easter to you and your family

Hi, LoveMyMickey, thank you so much for sharing your lovely Easter letter to your beloved Mickey with us. You are so clever with figuring out how to download - - or upload - - the wonderful graphics. Although your beloved Mickey is enjoying all the beautiful wonders of heaven's perfect garden his first and foremost desire is to be close to you - - and so he is always with you in your heart and your memories - - he is always a heartbeat close to you.

I hope today is treating you kindly, my friend, and that you and your husband will have a very peaceful and joyful Easter weekend. Thank you again so much for sharing your beloved Mickey with us. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, LoveMyMickey, and that I always look forward to sharing your news and your treasured memories of your beloved Mickey.

Peace and blessings,

Thank you Gretta's Mom and Moon_beam...


My Dear Sweet Little Boy Mickey..... Mommy has been busy doing some cleaning I have been putting off. I thought of you when I got those newspapers out of the special closet to recycle. I remember when daddy would open the door to get some papers, you would jump in the closet and lay on a pile of papers. I even found a picture of you I had taken. I don't know why you liked smelly newspapers.

Sweet Boy, have you seen doggy Amber in your Heavenly Home? You remember she lived next door and you two would talk through the fence. Anyway Amber's mommy said they had to let her go be with the Angels. She was 14 yrs. old. It looks so sad and quiet over there and also the 2 little Beagles behind us are gone, I don't know where. Also across the street big doggie Winston is gone and his mommy has another doggie. I guess we're all going into a new phase of earthly life until we all can meet our furbabies in Heaven's Beautiful Garden.

My Little One, some days I miss you so much that I could just sit and cry all day, but I must try to take care of us here and do my earthly chores. Your daddy and I still look at your favorite pic on my cellphone and tell you goodnight every night.

Be happy, my sweet one, and I will visit later.......XOXOXOMommy and DaddyXOXOXO

Hi Love My Mickey

Your message to Mickey really touched my heart. Especially the part about all the other doggies that were here with you ahd Mickey and have now goen up to be with Mickey in the Perfect World. it really does hurt when you see a person whom you have seen scores of times with a gorgeous or funny or old or just plaing doggie walking by him - or herself. Or when you pass by a house where there used to be a goofy but friendly dog living and now he's not there. Or when the dog who used to come walking through your yard every morning no longer appears. Every one of these both brings back our own heartache and makes our hearts ache with the pain others are feeling. Another woman in our neighborhood used to walk a huge old black lab mix named Magic when I walked Gretta. All of a sudden they weren't there - an neither were we. After about a month, it was me and Rufus and I jus saw her the other day and she said she'd seen me many times with my new dog but that it had taken her almost two years (two years! has Magic been gone that long?) to get a new dog - a little black lab about a year old.

Your eyes are really open to the world of dogs. God bless you, my friend.

Thank youu Gretta's Mom....

My Dear Sweet Mickey......It's hard to believe the 22nd has arrived again, 14 months ago you went to be with the Angels. I thought this "missing you" thing would get better, but it has only gotten worse and the love I have for you is stronger than ever. I just hope I appreciated you enough when you were here. Life has more of a spiritual meaning since you left us. It's so hard to explain.

Sweet Boy, Gretta's brother Rufus will have his operation tomorrow. So I will ask again for you to gather all the Spirit Pets and Guardian Angels together to watch over Rufus to get through the operation okay and to get well...........My Little One, I want to thank you for looking out for Bella, the little Pekingese who got lost for a week on our side of town. She has been found and is back with her owners.

Sweet Mickey, give all the newcomers to your Perfect World a gentle welcome, especially the ones here on LS......Until next time, we miss you and love you more each day......

My Dear Sweet Little Mickey,

Mommy had a rough week, my little one. One evening we had a tornado warning, sirens went off and on for half an hour. Funnel clouds were spotted over the town, but no touch downs. We missed you cuddled in the basement on the couch with us, but I could feel your spirit there. Then your daddy got real sick with a high fever with a stomach bug or something. I thought I was going to lose him and I didn't think I could make it losing him and you. He is taking his meds and is better now. Sweet Boy, your daddy missed you snuggling on the bed with him, but he felt your sweet spirit helping him to get better.

My little one, I missed you so very much today as I was walking in the yard checking out the flowers. I looked on one end of the house that I hadn't looked at for awhile and our azeala bush is in full bloom, also the climbing red rose bush, and the yellow Iris. Down by the road are the peonies. I remember you loved to take walks in the yard and smell the flowers and everything else. We always had you on your harness and leash, didn't want to take any chances of anything happening to our boy. I cut some of the red roses and put them on Annie's and your little gravesites in the back yard.

Sweet Boy, night before last, I dreamed of a little white dog with short hair. I don't know where I was, but he looked me straight in the face and jumped in my lap. His little belly was round and healthy like yours would be, when you ate a lot. I hope that was a sign that you are healthy and happy.

Until next time, my precious one, as Red Skelton would say, "Goodnight and God Bless".


XOXOXO Mommy and Daddy XOXOXO

Good morning Love My Mickey

I'm so sorry to hear about your husband's illness. What a terrifying experience! I'm glad he's doing a little better now. With you, I say, how could one bear two such horrific losses in a single year? God look down on your husband and gave him back some health. Mickey looked down on you and saw how troubled your heart was and sent the best present of all - himself. Of course if was Mickey - letting you know he was well and safe and still on his job, looking after you.

Thank you for all the help and comfort you have been to me over the past year. Pplease take my strength today and use it to lean on.

Gretta, Rufus, Mickey and I all give you our love - today and always.

Hi, LoveMyMickey, thank you so much for sharing with us how you're doing, and your beautiful love note to your beloved Mickey. There is no doubt in my mind that the visit you had in your dream is with your beloved Mickey. Our beloved companions do find ways to let us know they are still with us, and I'm so glad you had this dream of your beloved Mickey.

I, too, am so very sorry that your husband has been ill, and am relieved that he is doing better. Please know you both are in my thoughts and prayers that he will continue to recover from this episode.

Out here in the county we do not have any warning sirens, so I try to keep "tuned in" to severe weather with the weather bug alerts on my computer. It used to be very seldom that Virginia had any tornado warnings, but now they are more frequent and the stroms are gaining in strength. I am very grateful that you and your community were spared of the wrath of the tornado fury.

I hope today is being kind to you and your husband, LoveMyMickey. Please know you both are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to sharing your news and your treasured memories of your beloved Mickey.

Peace and blessings,

Thank you for sharing how you are doing. I'm sorry to hear about your husband, but glad to hear he is doing better. What a lovely dream you had. I have not had one in a long while, but I am convinced Tom came to me in other forms as apparently did your precious Mickey. Hope you are all doing well on this Caturday. TTFN

Hi Gretta's Mom, Moon_beam, and Tom's Dad,

I thank you all for your well wishes, thoughts, and prayers. Husband is doing well and back to eating well......Yes, the dream of the little white dog was comforting. As I tell Mickey goodnight every night, I tell him to visit us in a dream or whatever way he can. Some people might think I'm weird, but whatever happens in this house, stays in this house, or goes to this forum.

My friends, you all are always in my thoughts and prayers too....God Bless...

LoveMyMickey

Hi, LoveMyMickey, thank you so much for sharing with us how you and your husband are doing. I am soooo glad to know he is doing much better. Getting his appetite back is a HUGE indication that he is well on the mend.

Asking your beloved Mickey to come visit you is not weird at all. There are times when I long to dream of my mom and beloved furkids, and sometimes I am blessed with a response. This earthly journey is a challenge even in the best of times. It is very comforting to have visits with our loved ones - - whatever the life form - - who have preceded us to the angels.

I hope today is treating you and your husband kindly, LoveMyMickey, and that you both will have a very peaceful evening blessed with your beloved Mickey's sweet Living Spirit to comfort and cheer you. Please know you and your husband are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to sharing your news, and your treasured memories of your beloved Mickey.

Peace and blessings,

Thinking of you and wondering how all of you are doing. Of course, we know that Mickey is doing ... well .... Perfect. We love you, Mickey, but then you know that already, too. Thank you all for being such wonderful friends.

Thank you Moon_beam and Gretta's Mom. I hope you and furbabies are doing well today.....Last evening I was sitting here looking at Mickey's pics on my computer, and all of a sudden I missed him more than ever and I broke down and had a big cry.

They say crying is cleansing which I believe is true because I feel better today. Husband is doing well and wanted a pizza and chicken strips. So we had some delivered. I missed giving Mickey some chicken so much. Yes, Mickey is in a Perfect Place and I hope we all get there some day. I can just picture in my mind little white fuzzy Mickey running toward us.

Thank you all for being my friend and give your furbabies a special pat for me......God Bless..

LoveMyMickey

Posted by: Gretta's Mom May 8 2012, 06:39 AM

Hello Love My Mickey

Pizza and chicken strips! Yes, he's definitely better. I know how something unexpected - especially something that reminds you of your dearest friend - can just open the faucet. Crying IS sometimes cleansing - at least it lets some of those bottled up feelings out. Mickey's love shines down on you all the time, and even more when he knows you're lonely or sad.

Thanks for being such a good friend.

Gretta's and Rufus's mom

Hi, LoveMyMickey, thank you so much for sharing with us how you and your husband are doing. I am so thrilled that your husband is continuing to recover from his illness.

I am always amazed at how some of the "little things" that come to our heart and memories are the ones that bring us to our knees in sorrow - - as our forum friend Cheryl so appropriately writes "just when I think things are beginning to get better . . ." Indeed, when it is your and your husband's appropriate time to join your beloved Mickey in heaven's perfect garden he will be there at the Pearly Gates eagerly greeting you. For now, though, you are blessed with your beloved Mickey's sweet Living Spirit to comfort and cheer you, and to treasure the cherished memories of his earthly journey with you.

I hope today is being kind to you and your husband, LoveMyMickey. Please know you both are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to sharing how you both are doing and your treasured memories of your beloved Mickey.

Dear LoveMyMickey, Just getting caught up on the months I was absent for - so very good to hear that your husband is getting better! I recognise those tears from apparently nowhere, I know how much it can still hurt, even when you think you are doing well...I guess each tear is a tribute to the magnificence of love and soul we shared with our angel child...please take care my friend, thinking of you, Leejaye

Posted by: Gretta's Mom May 10 2012, 06:15 AM

Thank you, thank you, thank you Love My Mickey for reaching out to Bobbie in her awful sorrow. all of us are going through stuff, but right now she's got two pianos on her back. Your loving letter helped SO much. Just like you have helped me so much during the past year. I sing your "Gretta-answer" verses over and over when I walk her "little brother" Rufus.

You are one great lady, LMM. Thank you for seeing another's cry for help through your own tears. Mickey's little tail is waggin itself off because he's so proud of his wonderful mommie. YOU GO, MUM!

My Dear Friends.....Thank you all for your kind and comforting words.....Today was a leaky eyes day. I met up with a nice lady in the grocery store, had an English accent. We got to talking about animals, she said she got her cat from the Humane Society, and would only leave it at the vet when they traveled to Massachusetts. She sounded like the loving and caring people on this forum. I tried to tell her about Mickey but got teary eyed.

Leejaye, it's so good to hear from you. Give Purszival and Bandit a special pat for me.

Gretta's Mom, I'm happy to help any way that I can. Give Rufus a kiss on the head for me.....And...

Moon_beam, it is always a pleasure to hear from you and to read your wise words. Give Noah a belly rub for me.

Love and Prayers for all,

LoveMyMickey

My dear, dear LoveMyMickey!

How can I find the words to thank you for such a perfect and beautiful poem from Trevor? All I can say, is that the words are perfect, the meaning is perfect and the peom is tucked safely in my heart. It has already done me so much good.

LoveMy Mickey, you have a heart of gold and the soul of an angel. You never knew Trevor or me and yet you are so willing to do whatever it takes to help me out, even when I'm haveing a pity party. Yes, God sent me another guardian angel and that is you. I am blessed to have you as a friend.

I have a lot of making up to do.......for all you've done for Trevor and me.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart and Trevor's too. You are simply amazing!

Hi! to Mickey! I love you, too!

Oh my goodness, Bobbie and Gretta's Mom, I didn't expect your sweet posts. I'm happy you all liked the poem and I'm happy it helped you, Bobbie. I speak from my heart. Since Mickey passed away, I have been more tender-hearted toward animals, although I dearly loved my Mugsy and Annie and grieved hard for them.

Anyway Bobbie and Gretta's Mom, you both have helped me so much too. Give your precious furbabies a belly rub for me. I love you all.

"HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY"

My Sweet Little Mickey,

Yesterday was the second Mother's Day since you've been gone. I don't think I feel much better than I did a year ago. I looked at a lot of your pictures and oh, how I longed to touch that precious white silky hair. But that is not to be. I felt your spirit with me, but I wanted to snuggle with your little earthly body. Sweet Boy, I know you want Mommy to be happy and I am trying. I think of all the fun times we had together and I smile.

Until next time, my little one, enjoy your heavenly journey with all your angel friends. I love you and miss you more every day.

XOXOXO Mommy XOXOXO

Dear, dear LoveMyMickey!!!!!

What a stunningly beautiful gift from Trevor!!!! I know that you helped him with it and I thank you so very, very, much. Mother's Day just isn't the same any more is it?

You are one of the most creative, thoughtful people I know. And you know just how to bring a smile (and a tear) to my face and heart.

May you have a beautiful day, my friend! I will.........because of you and Trevor & Mickey & Hermy.


Love,

Mickey's letter to Mommy on his 15th month angel-versary:

I Remember
I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying. You found it hard to sleep.

I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."

I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times your hands reached down to me.

I was with you at the shops today. Your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.

I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there.

I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said "It's me."

You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.

It's possible for me to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."

You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...
in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.

The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning
and say "Good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning."

And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.

I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out... then come home to be with me.

Oh my dear, sweet LoveMyMickey!

What a perfect poem for Mickey's 15 month Angel-versary and Trevor's 10 month angel-versary!!! THANK YOU so much for capturing the thoughts that travel through my head and heart so many times per day. I know you are the same way and that you love your Mickey as much as I love my Trevor. It shows all over your site. Oh! How I wish I could have known Mickey in this life, but I really look forward to meeting in the next.

You are a very special mother and person and friend to us. You know when we need an uplift and *POOF* you are there with Mickey to help us along. I hope I can do that same for you.

The poem really is perfect for us. We here always say "Goodnight, God Bless" to Mickey just like the poem says...I'm glad we got to share our Mickey and Trevor angel-versary. The 22nd fell on a Tuesday just like it did the day he went to be with the angels.

Bobbie, you are a special person and friend to us too. You have always helped me along too when I needed a friend......Oh, I wish I could have known Trevor in this life too. I bet he and Mickey would have liked each other....hmmmm....I wonder what they are up to today in their heavenly home.


Happy Angel-versary Dear Trevor and Mickey! We love and miss you precious babies more every day.

Thank you for all the help and support you have given me during the past year and then some. I don't know what I would have done without it - especially your poem from Gretta.

Well, another Memorial Day weekend is here, the second one since you went to be with the angels. I put some of our red roses
on your and Annie's gravesite.


A Poem for you, my little one.

I've had friends and relatives to die.
I had two uncles to get killed in WW2.
But the tears I shed today, my Mickey,
Are falling just for you.

Sweet Boy, we miss you and love you more every day. You will always be Daddy's Buddy and Mommy's Baby.

Trevor and the boys, along with me and my current boys are remembering you, especially this weekend. I feel that I have already "met" you and I, too, miss you and what could have been. But I also look forward to that glorious time when we do finally meet in the most wonderful place at the best of time!

Sweet Boy, ask your guardian angels to help our little cyber friend, Concheta. Her mommy said she has to take a secomd seizure medication, which is working so far. She is frisky and doing well. She is 10 yrs. old.

I must go now, my little one.....We love you and miss you more every day.

Hi Gretta's Mom and Bobbie,

Thank you both for your kind replies. You both are very welcome!


Hello My Sweet Little Mickey,

Well, another Tuesday has arrived and you know we don't like Tuesdays. Mommy is tired tonight, I went to the grocery store today and got a cart full of groceries. Also seeds and outdated bread for the birds, rabbits, and squirrels and cat food for little stray kitty Blackie and the raccoon that passes through.............I touched the Pupperoni as I passed by and said, "I love you, Baby". I got tears in my eyes.

Goodnight, my little one, and "rest your eyes"....Remember your daddy would say that to you when you looked sleepy.

I miss you and love you more every day. Your daddy does too.

Hi LoveMyMickey!!!!!

Stopping by to say Hello! and thank you for every day that goes by and I think of you and Mickey! You are an amazing person and I can't even imagine how terrific Mickey was and is!

Today is Trevor's daddy's 65th birthday. Can you believe it? And now for a true story: Last year I found a birthday card with a picture of a young C. Spaniel on the front that looked just like Trevor, so I bought it, intending to give it to Stan from Trevor. Well, I lost the card, Trevor got sicker and eventually went to Heaven on July 22. Then recently I was going through the same stack of special cards that I keep separately from the rest of my cards and there....it.....was! Trevor's card - big as life and still not written on! So I gave it to his daddy this morning, with a note from Trevor explaining everything. Stan really liked it. Way to go, Trevor!!!!

And I am so sorry that Tuesdays are not your favorite day. Ours is Friday. However, this year, Trevor's FIRST angel-versary will come out on a Sunday (thanks to Leap Year) so I can spend the entire day with him if I want to.......and I want to!

Have a beautiful day, my friend!

Bobbie, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" to Trevor's daddy! You know who found the card for you and lead you back there to find it.....That is a "cool" story!!!! Thank you Bobbie for sharing it with me.

Trevor, thank you for guiding your mommy to find the birthday card for your daddy. That made them happy and they deserve some happiness......Now Trevor, I want you and Mickey to stay out of trouble and help all the other little angel pets.

Goodnight My Friends,

Well, my sweet boy, don't forget to "rest your eyes" (as daddy would say), after a perfect day in Heaven....
Goodnight my love....

Have a gentle day, my friend, as we all walk onward on this earthly journey.

Gretta's mom

Good Morning, LoveMyMickey AND Mickey, too!

Checking in and hoping that everything is OK. I know today is another Tuesday and they aren't the best of days. I'm thinking extra-special thoughts and saying extra prayers today. It's rainy here today which kind of just sets the mood, doesn't it?

I cannot wait to meet both you and Mickey one day. We will have the best of times, if I can pull you away from Mickey for a minute and if I can take my eyes off Trevor and the boys.

LoveMyMickey, you have such a special talent in finding words and combinations that capture the exact essence of what people are thinking and feeling. That is a real gift and you use it so much to help others. Thank you! I just cut out a picture of Trevor's garden and his poem and have them right next to the computer so I can see/read them every day. Me? All I can do is have leaky eyes and lots of memeories. You know, since I've started sharing things about my other boys, more and more memories are coming back! That is so cool.

LoveMyMickey, I hope you have a peace-filled day and that Mickey and Trevor and Gretta send extra special LOVE RAYS your way today!

Dear Gretta's Mom and Bobbie,

Thank you both so much for your kind words and compliments. I feel the same about you both and love you dearly. You both have helped me get through the worst period of grief. It will be a glorious day when we all meet.

Bobbie, yes Tuesdays are pretty hard for me. I had on a certain right hand ring the day Mickey passed and I wear it every Tuesday in memory of him. It was pretty hard to do at first.......I too, am thinking of more memories of my other two, Mugsy and Annie. I am writing some things about all three and if I ever get finished, I will add them to my Tribute thread.

You all are in my thoughts and prayers, that includes Rufus, Dreamer, Kelley, and all the Angel Boys.

Have a peaceful and blessed day.....Sending lots of ((((HUGS)))) your way.

LoveMyMickey

Hi Love My Mickey

Just stopping by to tell you "thank you' again for the wonderful person you are and for how much you have helped and encouraged me through the past year +. Your poem "Gretta's reply" was truly divinely inspired and will stay with me, comforting my heart for the rest of my life - until we are all reunited.

Thank you, my friend.

Dear, Wonderful LoveMyMickey,

You are one of the most amazing people I've ever known! Thank you for caring so much and always acting on that caring. If I could be half as good as you I would consider myself very fortunate.

Mickey, you have a winner in your mommy!

Love and thanks,

Thank you Gretta's Mom and Bobbie.



My Dear Sweet Little Mickey,

I have felt especially sad and lonely for you today. I don't know why unless it's because tomorrow is Father's Day and your daddy won't have you, his buddy, beside him. But I know your sweet spirit and love will be right here with both of us as it is every day.

My Little One, I hope you didn't get tired of me talking to you today while I did the laundry in the basement. I talked a long time, didn't I? I listened to your little? bark and my voice that is recorded on your treat ball. A few minutes ago after the lawn guy mowed I added some more artifical flowers to yours and Annie's gravesite. They last longer than real ones......You have lots of buddies out there too. I put birdseeds and bread in the backyard close to you and there are all different kinds of birds and as soon as they see me, they start talking and singing. I heard words that I have never heard before. Also lots of squirrels and rabbits come by. Sometimes a couple of groundhogs come by. I think they eat the clover blooms.

My Sweet Boy, I'll be quiet now, I just needed to write to you tonight. Have fun with all your precious LS friends and all that come into Heaven....Until next time....

Goodnight and God Bless...

Dear Mickey and your Mommy,

I can imagine how difficult yesterday was for your daddy AND your mommy. They have so many memories of you, GOOD and some not-so-good, but every single one of them is filled with love, love, love. I'm so glad your mommy has a recording of your voice. I have a short recording of Trevor walking around a friend's yard. I wonder why it is, at the time we are making these recordings, we don't make them at least several hours long (in total)? It would probably be too painful for us for a long time. I don't know.

My doctor told me that I cannot be on my computer before bedtime as that might be one reason why I just don't sleep for hours (until 2-3 am), so I will be writing to you and Gretta and Hermy and Trevor in the morning or early afternoons from now on. But if something really important happens, you could get a FLASH BULLETIN at any time!

Mickey, have a super day, playing with all your friends and any relatives up there. Don't forget Benjamin. I think about you every day and I, too, really love you. Just wait until we meet. Then you'll see what I mean!

LoveMyMickey, you, too, have a peace-filled day and you are on my love-list, too! your hubby would be, too, but I don't know him!

Love,
XObobbieXO

Hi Bobbie,

Yesterday, esecially last evening, was hard with Mickey gone. While watching tv Mickey would lay on one end of the couch with his daddy in the middle. When Mickey wanted to get on the other end, daddy would lean over and let him by. Last night his daddy felt a movement, and it reminded him of that.....What I can't understand is this, I have run my Swifter duster under the couch several times since Mickey has been gone and this morning I still got Mickey hairs on the duster when I dusted....Hmmmmm, makes you wonder.....

I don't know why, but I never took a video of Mickey. I bought a good camera while we had him and a camera cell phone but I only took lots of still pictures. I think I was always trying to get good pics of him to send to his first parents, which I did. I love to look at his pics, but I believe it would be too sad to watch a video.

Bobbie, Mickey and I both love you too and you would love hubby too. He is a kind and patient gentleman. I don't know how he puts up with me. ...

Mickey loves all his little angel friends, Trevor & brothers, Gretta, Hermy, Benjamin, and ALL!!!!

God Bless,

LoveMyMickey

Hi LoveMyMickey!

That did have to be a hard Father's Day for your hubby. But, you guys are getting all sorts of signs from Mickey and that is so cool! I've only gotten one (total) from all my boys and that was an indirect one from Trevor. And I'm still very upset that I cannot find the baggie with Trevor's hair in it. I've looked just about everywhere except in the basement! Come back! Come back! You precious little bundle of fur!!!!!

You know, The little bit of video that I have of Trevor actually makes me feel so happy at the same time that I am missing him like crazy! I'm happy because, other than a few times in his own back yard, this was the only other grass that he felt under his feet and it was incredibly soft and cool. I wish I had gotten more of Trevor trotting, but...... This was the one big time Trevor was FREE!!!! all afternoon he could wander in the yard, pee on the trees, poop in the yard, walk on the cool stones of the patio and smell every and anything he wanted. He was a bit afraid at first, but settled in quite easily once Stan and I stopped hovering over him like he was going to break! I also have some pictures from then in my collage. Now THAT is one of the healing things I did that I never thought would heal me at all. Amazing!

You mention something about sending pictures to Mickey's "first parents". Were they not able to keep Mickey? Were they his foster parents? I am very cruious now, but you don't have to tell me anything that you don't want to. Me? I wear just about everything on my sleeve.

Have a great day, my friend!
I LOVE YOU, MICKEY!

Hi Bobbie,

I can imagine the one little video would make you happy seeing Trevor playing and running in the grass and just doing his thing...I do remember trying once to make one of Mickey, but didn't have any luck, so I just didn't think about it anymore. I'm happy to see that with you working with Trevor's collage has helped you heal, but I'm sorry you can't find the little baggie of hair. Maybe it is in the basement.

Mickey's original parents had him for 5 years and because of their health problems they had to give him up. I really felt sorry for them.......I am writing a small story about each of our dogs over the years to add to my Tribute thread. I'm writing it on Microsoft Word first and then put it here.

Bobbie, if you wish, I can put a pic of Trevor in a post. If you can send it to me in an email, I can put it here. I'll send you my email address in a PM.

Have a good night, my friend, with plenty of sleep and give Dreamer and Kelley a big ole belly rub for me.....God Bless..

Hello My Sweet Sweet Mickey,

It is beginning to feel like summer here. I remember you used to get so warm with your pretty heavy coat. I didn't want to cut your hair real short so I would thin it out a little. You always enjoyed laying in front of the AC floor vents.

Mommy took daddy to his heart dr. this morning just for a checkup. He is doing okay. The dr. office has moved to a big new medical building. I did good, I didn't turn down too many wrong roads and didn't hit anybody.

Well, my little one, it's time for my soap on tv, so I will go......Until next time, mommy and daddy loves you and misses you sooooo much.

XOXOXO Mommy XOXOXO

Posted by: LoveMyMickey Jun 22 2012, 11:12 AM

My Sweet Little Mickey,

Today is your 16th month angel-versary since you went to be with the angels. Seems like you have been gone forever.

Oh how I miss those dancing, sparkling eyes when you smelled your chicken cooking, or when you wanted a treat, or when you wanted to play or...........Oh how I miss you sweet boy......I try to think of the good and fun times we had for all those years. I know you want me to be happy......Your daddy feels the same way I do, of course you know that too.

My Little One, I hope you have a wonderful heavenly day with all your friends. Don't worry about mommy and daddy, we'll be okay..................Until next time.....

We love you and miss you more every day.

XOXOXO Mommy and Daddy XOXOXO

Hi Sweet Mickey

Just seeing your picture makes me smile. Your mom has been my "rock" for the past year since my Gretta went to the Perfect World. Thank you for sending sings to your mom and dad so they could know FOR SURE that you were OK and living in the perfect World. When you doggie go home, you take that piece of our souls with you (and we keep part of yours). SO when we can't sense you around us, our hearts - oh, those human hearts - get sad and ours eyes leak. But deep inside we're happy for you living in health, warmth, happines, friendship, pplay, sunshine ..... We just wish that we could be ther with you - which we WILL when it's the right time.

LMM - I would like to send you a book that Bobbie recommended to me. It's called "I'll see you in heaven". I ordered it from Amazon a few days ago so it should be here soon. I'm a complete dunce on this site doing anything more complicated than posting and replying to posts. If you'd be willing, could you send me a personal message with a place to send the book - even if it's a friends house or something like that. It's written by a Franciscan monk and apparently has all kinds of religious and biblical "proof" that we SHALL be reunited with your furbabies in heaven.

Gotta go now - Rufie is barking to play "bone" - a game that Bobbie taught him when she was here this winter.

Thank you for your loving heart.

Gretta and Rufus's mom

Hello Dearest LoveMyMickey!

Check out my latest posting on I Love You Trevor! I wrote to the LS Administrator about the woman who was getting away with writing about her cockatiel and asked why all the doggies couldn't have the same right................................................Now they do!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Check out what breed of dog Trevor is! It's all over the post!!!!!!!!!!!


And BTW - I hope you and your hubby are having a restful and peaceful Sunday. I told my sister about that book "I Will See You in Heaven" and it is one of the nicest and most appropriate books out there. It's a small book and with short chapters, but I immediately wrote Trevor's name in it. I hope you like it.

I LOVE YOU, MICKEY!
XO bobbieXO

PS: WHAT breed is Trevor?????

Posted by: LoveMyMickey Jun 24 2012, 05:52 PM

Hi Gretta's Mom,

I thank you so very much for offering to send me the book, but I have already ordered it (along with a toilet seat ) that we need from Amazon. I had seen the name of the book in either one of yours or Bobbie's posts. It sounds like a leaky eye book, but sounds very interesting. I haven't received it yet.

Hi Bobbie,

Thank you for suggesting the book. It sounds very interesting. I like small books with short chapters.
We had a restful day, hope you all did too. It got up to 91, but the humidity was low.

What breed is Trevor? hmmmmmm, let me think.......still thinking.......got it!!!! COCKER SPANIEL!!!!

Thank you both again. Have a good night with the furbabies!!!!

Hugs,

LoveMyMickey

My Dear Sweet Little Mickey,

Well, another Tuesday is here and mommy had leaky eyes this morning. It is really a bittersweet day because mommy and daddy met June 26, 19_ _ on a Greyhound bus just down the road from here. We have lived in many areas and now have come full circle.

My sweet boy, one of the greatest joys was having you in our life....We love you baby, with all our heart and soul....Untill next time, my little one, enjoy your Perfect World and we will meet again someday....


XOXOXO Mommy & Daddy XOXOXO

Posted by: Bobbie Jun 26 2012, 12:29 PM

Dear, sweet Mickey,

Well, today is another bump-in-the-road Tuesday for your mommy and daddy. I don't know how they sneak up on us so quickly, but they seem to be coming closer and closer together.
I know you already know this, and have from the beginning, but your mom and dad love you sooooooooooooooooooooooo much: both when you were all able to be together on Earth and even now when you are separated physically from each other's Spirits. You were the apple of their eyes and I know that their eyes still leak all over the place for you. For when some companion comes into our lives, as you did for your mommy and daddy, the mark that is placed on their hearts and souls can never be erased or changed. You will be Sweet Mickey forever.
And if you are anything like your mommy, you are the sweetest dog ever! (well, next to Trevor, of course) Oh! What fun it would have been to meet on this side of Paradise, but it will be even better later because we will never HAVE to say Farewell - only "see you later".
Dear, Dear Mickey, happy another Tuesday for you and please send down some of those "Happy Rays" that are shining all over Heaven on YOUR day so that your mommy and daddy can feel their warmth and love as well.

I LOVE YOU, TOO, MICKEY!

Hello Love-My Mickey

Great minds .... you and Bobbie and I are like three musketeers! Thank you for that. Coming up on a year angel-versary is SO hard. Until that happens - no matter how hard you try not to and how much it hurts, you still get to think, "last year at this time Gretta/Mickey/Trevor was still here." After a year it seems much more final - althought the leaky eyes don't stop and you DEFINITELY don't stop missing them, longing for eveything about them.

Thank you so much for helping me get through Gretta]s one-year on April 10. We musketeerswill stick together here on earthe and someday get together with all our "heavenly" Musketeers. (Hope they don't put on a pirate party for us!)

Thank you for your loving heart.

Gretta and Rufus's mom

Posted by: LoveMyMickey Jun 30 2012, 12:51 PM

Thank you Gretta's Mom and Bobbie!!!.....Gretta's Mom, I like the "heavenly musketeer pirate party" idea as long as Johnny Depp is there.



Hello My Dear Sweet Mickey...

Yesterday was a "break down and have a leaky eye day" and I don't know why. But mommy feels better today. It is so hot here, should reach 102 today. But I know you are in a Perfect Place and there's no bad heat to bother your breathing.

Sweet Boy, I hope you and all your angel friends are having a fun day and don't forget to welcome all the new ones......Until next time, remember mommy and daddy will ALWAYS love you. You were and are that special little soulmate......We miss you sooooo much....

XOXOXO Mommy and Daddy XOXOXO

Hello Mickey!

This here is Trevor's mommy and I'm going to tell you, once again, what a fabulous mommy and daddy you have! WOW! You must be winning all the Bragging Contests in Heaven! And that's Super! Kind of like YOU!

Hi LoveMyMickey!

I know this heat is going to drive us insane soon. My dad told me he'd heard that "we" (whoever that is) are two months ahead of schedule with the weather. In other words, we are experiencing late August weather now. Goody. Can't wait to see what August brings!

I hope you had a good weekend together. We went "Goodwilling" and found some great toys for all the grandchildren and greatnephews. We decided that we are just going to be called Grandma Bobbie and Grandpa Stan because we are forgetting which kid is which now.

Trevor's one-year anniversary (I don't like calling it angel-versary - a bit too whatever for me) is fast approaching this month. I was going to laminate the letters we wrote and read to him last year, but I think I will try for a new one instead. I just have such trouble with words, finding new ways to proclaim his wonderfulness. What did you do for Mickey's 1st year anniversary? Trevor's is on a Sunday, so we have the entire day to do things. I've got plenty of "OFF" spray for the bugs, we have a nice old bench very close to Trevor's grave, his Grandmom and Grandpop are going to be there, too. I just know that it is going to be a difficult day for me. Luckily I have an understanding husband, sister and YOU to lean on and believe me, I will. (Now if I could only copy and laminate that collage of Trevor - it would be perfect!)

LoveMyMickey, I want to thank you for being such a loyal and good friend to someone you don't even know! The love and compassion you have in your heart, and so freely give to others, makes our lives better. I hope the same is true for you! Please try and stay as cool is possible again this week. I find the coolest spot is on the carpeted floor, with a small fan blowing nearby and two dogs snoring their lungs out. Not too good for sleeping, but I do stay cool. Oh! TV or reading or both are optional!

Bless you and Mickey and his daddy!
Love YOU!
XOXOxoxo
Bobbie & the boys

Posted by: LoveMyMickey Jul 2 2012, 06:25 PM

Hi My Sweet Little Mickey!

Isn't Trevor's mommy the BEST? I bet you and Trevor are both in that bragging contest.

Little One, we had a storm come through last night and we went to the basement. Your daddy patted the place between us on the couch and said your name. I believe you were there in spirit and maybe you were protecting us. Some parts of our town had power outages and trees down........My Sweet Boy, we miss you and love you more each day. Until next time, enjoy your heavenly perfect world and be sure to welcome all the new little angels.......

XOXO Mommy XOXO


Bobbie, I want to thank you too, for being a good and loyal friend. You have helped me so much since I've been here. As time goes by, I feel better, but then a bad leaky eye day will enter........About the one year anniversary, I put flowers on Mickey's gravesite, which is in our back yard. I cried a lot...........I hope Trevor's one year anniversary isn't too hard on you all......You can "Lean On Me"anytime.

Sometimes in our lives, we all have pain, we all have sorrow.
But if we are wise, we know that there's always tomorrow.
Lean on me, when you're not strong and I'll be your friend.
I'll help you carry on, for it won't be long 'til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on.

You just call on me if you need a friend.
We all need somebody to lean on.
I just might have a problem that you'll understand.
We all need somebody to lean on.
Lean on me!

God Bless you and family and furbabies....

LoveMyMickey

Hi Love My Mickey

I also want to thank YOU for being a friend through these many months (more than a year now) of grief and very leaky eyes. The poem you wrote me - Gretta's response to my apology to her for .... well, you know ....was THE most curing thing that has happened to me. (That and the love you you and Bobbie). I have shared it with several people here on LS - always letting them know who the kind person is who had those precious thoughts and words - hoping it would hel their hearts as much as it had helped mine.

LMM, you are the best.

Gretta and Rufus's mom

Posted by: LoveMyMickey Jul 4 2012, 05:23 PM

Hi Gretta's Mom,

You are so kind and sweet. I'm so happy that little poem helped you so much. Yes, I have seen where you have written it in posts to others. I hope it can help them too.....I thank you too, for the help and encouragement you have given me during the last months. As time goes by I do feel better, but I still get those leaky eye days........I enjoyed the little book "I'll Meet You in Heaven" (through leaky eyes.).....Thank you again for offering to send it to me.

I hope you and Rufus had a good 4th. We are in another heat wave here. We stayed in and kept cool. But we did feed and water the birds and other animals that come around.

If you ever want me to help you post Gretta's and Rufus' picture, just let me know....

Love and Blessings,

LoveMyMickey

Dear LoveMyMickey,

I have been reading through some old posts of mine about Trevor. It will be his one year anniversary in 17 days.

Would you have the time to write a little poem for/about him so that I could read it to him on his anniversary? If you can't I totally understand and can use another of your beautiful poems.

Just thought I'd ask a huge favor.

Thank you for considering this and for being such a loving, caring, wonderful, true friend!

Love,
XOBobbieXO

Posted by: LoveMyMickey Jul 5 2012, 06:14 PM

Oh My Dear Bobbie,

It would be an honor to write a poem about/for
Trevor for his one year anniversary! It might take awhile, but I'll try to do my best.

Thank you, my friend, for asking me to do this.

Thank you for being a friend and a new sister.

Hi LoveMyMickey and Mickey!

Well, I think the worst is over for this hot spell. At least it's only in the high 90's today. Might even rain tonight.......nah, not that lucky!

I just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking about you all the time (actually, all of you, including your daddy) and hoping that these days are not being too rough on you. LoveMyMickey, you are such a darling person, so thoughtful and kind. No wonder Mickey chose you and your hubby to be his parents!

Gotta go say HI! to Trevor. The "day" is getting closer and closer.


I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!
XOBobbieXO

Posted by: LoveMyMickey Jul 8 2012, 05:30 PM

Oh Bobbie, thank you for your kind words!........It is still hot here. According to the weather radar there is rain all around us, so maybe it will get here. Mickey's little gravesite doesn't look too good because of the dry weather although I kept watering the little green stuff. It will have to be worked on later.

Two questions, do you know what year Trevor was born and when do you want me to post the poem? It is almost finished. I hope you like it. I know this is especially a rough time for you, the anticipation of the one year anniversary......My thoughts and prayers are with you, my friend.

With Love,

Gretta's mom

Posted by: Bobbie Jul 8 2012, 08:30 PM

Hi LoveMyMickey!

Yes, you ARE the BEST and don't ever forget it! I don't know when Trevor was born, but his Guardian Angels found him in their yard back in 2008. I don't remember the date, but we put it on his gravestone. Trevor died on July 22, 2011 at about 11:00 am.

Why don't you post the poem either the 18th or the 19th or you can send it to me privately as well. I want to get it laminated and left at his grave on the 22nd. You know how I want the entire world to know what a wonderful little boy he was/is. Whenever I say that I don't want you to think that I think any less of Mickey. He, too, is one of a kind!

Thank you, again, for being so unselfish during your own grief journey, that you will help out someone you haven't even met!

Love and hugs to you, your hubby and Mickey!!!!!!!

Thank you Gretta's Mom and Bobbie!.....I asked Mickey to help me or inspire me with Trevor's poem and he did.





This one I wrote to Mickey:

My Dear Sweet Boy Mickey,

Well, another Tuesday had rolled around,
Oh, where does the time go?
Sometimes it goes fast,
And sometimes very slow.

My Little One, I saw you today
Within a little white butterfly,
And in the gentle breeze
That touched me as it went by.

The birds were singing joyfully
Maybe you could hear,
Although you weren't with me
I could feel you near.

Mommy is just stopping by tonight to say we love you and miss you sooooo much. You gave us so much unconditional love over the years and we had lots of fun times too.....If you have to sleep in heaven, then make sure you "rest your eyes" (as your daddy would say) tonight.

I wonder why I keep thinking of you and feeling close to you when I see all our little white butterflies. One came in the back yard today and flew around my head when I was working on your little gravesite. I feel like you are sending your love and comfort to me and I thank you, my little one.

I LOVE YOU NOW AND FOREVER!

My Dear Sweet Mickey,

This is what Trevor's mommy said: PS: and when he gets around to it, could Mickey give Trevor a swift kick in the _______. I still haven't heard a thing!
Maybe you can send her a buff color butterfly or a light yellow one. I also saw a yellow one yesterday, is that you and Trevor?

Well, my little one, today is another Tuesday, but so far mommy feels okay. I keep thinking of those little white butterflies and it comforts me.

Until next time, my baby boy, I still miss you and love you sooooooo much.

XOXOXO Mommy XOXOXO

Bobbie and Gretta's Mom,

Thank you both so much for your kind words and thank you for liking my poem and for loving my boy Mickey. You both will always have my love and support.


My Dear Sweet Mickey,

I wrote this poem for you at your 4 month angel-versary, and now at your 17 month (tomorrow the 22nd) angel-versary, we feel the same.

We miss you sweet Mickey
As much today as day one.
I know you want us to be happy,
But it's easier said than done.

Each room is so empty
Because you're not there.
Each night we say we love you
And kiss your picture we share.

Sometimes in our dreams
You briefly appear,
But we wake up quickly
With eyes filled with tears.

With respect, we keep up your gravesite,
Although we know you're not really there.
Because your Sweet Living Spirit
Is with us everywhere.

You will always be Daddy's Little Buddy
And Mama's Baby Boy.

We love you and miss you so much Sweet Mickey!

XOXOXO Mommy & Daddy XOXOXO

Dear Love My Mickey

Thank for for being Bobbie and my guardian angel over the past year. We could never have made it through without you. You reached out and did miracles in our hearts during a time of your own deep grief. This is the mark of a true friend and a true saint. Your Gretta-poem is a sweet balm of comfort for my heart when it most needs it.

How can we ever thank you enough. Just by saying Mickey and Trevor and Gretta brought us together - an amazing deed.

In love and thanks,

Gretta's and Rufus's mom

Posted by: Bobbie Jul 29 2012, 08:55 PM

There you are! I thought we'd lost you in the long line of names, but you were right under me all the time!

I hope things have been good for you, LoveMyMickey, because you always do my heart so much good.

Mr. Mickey was one lucky dog having you guys for parents.

Have a great week!

Hi Bobbie and Gretta's Mom,

Thank you both for always giving me comfort when I know you all really need it. I too, believe Mickey, Trevor, and Gretta brought us together.

Bobbie, I hope it was okay that I put Trevor's tribute poem and picture in my tribute thread to my furbabies....

Bobbie, I've been praying hard for you and I asked Mickey to ask his Guardian Angels and the Good Lord to watch over you, heal you and comfort you.......Gretta's Mom, you and all the family are in my prayers too.


Love Ya' Both,

LoveMyMickey

Posted by: Gretta's Mom Jul 31 2012, 06:26 AM

I just want to send you a word of thanks from the deepest of my heart for being such a wonderful, God-sent friend for us during our bereavements and now during our crisis. As Bobbie says, you are truly God-sent.

Gretta's mom

Posted by: LoveMyMickey Jul 31 2012, 05:43 PM

Gretta's Mom...Thank you!






My Dear Sweet Mickey,

This afternoon, I closed my eyes
Tried to take a nap,
But all I could see
Was your sweet little face
Looking up at me,
When you wanted to jump in my lap.

I wanted to dream of you
My Mickey, so sweet
But all I could see
Was your sweet little face
Looking up at me,
When you wanted a treat.

At last I went into a twilight sleep
And I still saw your sweet little face
Looking up at me.
I woke up and cherished the memories,
I smiled, and did not weep.

~~LMM~~

From your mommy written with a heart full of love.
I miss you so much, my baby boy!

What a beautiful sentiment. When our companions leave us in this world, all we have are our cherished memories. Thank you for sharing.

Posted by: LoveMyMickey Aug 4 2012, 06:01 PM

Tom's Dad...Thank you! I also want to thank you for your support and being a friend.



My Dear Sweet Mickey, My Baby,

I thank you for sending those two white butterflies back today. I was out in the flower garden and they flew around me and one landed on a plant. He was so close to me that when I looked down, I could see his eyes. We stared at each other for quite awhile.
My little one, I truly feel you sent the butterflies as a sign of your love. Thank you! .........We love you and miss you so much.

My Sweet Little Mickey,

Thank you for sending your little white butterfly of love to your daddy this morning. It came up to the open patio door that daddy has open when he reads the Sunday paper. Your daddy was looking out the door at the time and saw it......I remember you always liked to lay in the door and watch the birds, squirrels, etc.............Oh what beautiful memories we have.

My llittle one, have a beautiful Sunday in Heaven's Perfect Garden....We love you and miss you so much!

Dear Love My Mickey

Thank you for teaching us that butterflies are signals from our boys and girls in the Perfect World. We're hanging by a thread but we're making it - mostly because of God and friends like you. Thank you forever.

Gretta and Rufus's mom

The same goes for me and Trevor. Things are getting harder, and I haven't even seen THE doctors, yet. But with support like yours and Mickey's, how can I lose?


We love you, LoveMyMickey!

My Sweet Little Mickey,

I went to the grocery store yesterday and passed by the Pupperoni and toys. Oh how I wanted to buy you something and let you look in the bags for it when I got home, but I know it's not to be.

I want you and your Guardian Angels to keep watching over Trevor's mommy and make her well. I am saying prayers every day for her and Gretta's Mom and the whole family.

My Little One, I will say goodnight for now. Rest your little eyes if that is what you do in Heaven.......We love you and miss you more each day.

Dear Love My Mickey

A friend like you comes along only once in a life time. I can never thank you enough for loving and caring for Bobbie and me thorugh this awful time. We definitely couldn't make it without you and Mickey.

Gretta's mom

Posted by: Bobbie Aug 11 2012, 10:49 AM

Dear, sweet LoveMy Mickey!

I copied your poem to Mickey because it is so perfect! And, if you don't mind, I put in Trevor's name most of the time. But I KNOW that it's a love song to your Mickey! Your love and devotion to Mickey is such an inspiration and keeps me going because I know that, if you can make it to where you are, I will, too. You are a role model for me.

I haven't gotten outside much this week, so I've only seen one butterfly. But that was enough to thank Mickey and Trevor and Gretta for sending "her" (if it's white it must be a girl butterfly - any other color is a boy butterfly) to us.

I have been so blessed with your friendship and constant care, LMM. So many of my in-laws are acting like fools and it is quite painful. So, I turn to you and my other dear friends here and things are right once again. THANK YOU!

I hope you and Mickey's daddy have a wonderful weekend and see tons of butterflies!!!!!!!

I LOVE YOU, MICKEY!

Good Morning, Mr. Mickey!!!!!!!

I hope you and the other MusketeerDogs had a good night and are ready for another day. Or do they all run together in Heaven?

Anyway, I want to thank you for having such a wonderful mommy. You are so lucky and so am I because she is now in my life, too. And so are you!

Have a super duper day today. Have fun playing with your sisters and all your friends! I'll stop by later to see how things are.

I LOVE YOU, MICKEY!

Gretta's Mom.....We miss you, but we understand.

Bobbie...I'm glad you like the poem and yes, it's okay to put in Trevor's name.


Hi My Sweet Little Mickey Baby,

I've been thinking a lot about you this morning and got leaky eyes. I got an email from Concheta's mommy and she sent pics of Concheta. She looks so much like you, so cute. Anyway Concheta is doing fine on her seizure meds.

My little one, I hope you have a great day with all your little angel friends. Mommy has a Dr. app't tomorrow morning, just routine stuff, I hope. Mommy and daddy have a big anniverary coming up this Saturday. Daddy finally decided what he wanted and I got it ordered.

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH MY BABY BOY! Your one and a half year anniversary is coming up the 22nd. We miss you more every day.

Hey, Mickey!!!! and LOVEMY MICKEY!!!!!!

She's back!!! Time to celebrate! Time to keep a careful eye out for her, right??

And you know she is right-on about everything she says about your mommy, Mickey! Of course you know that! You've known that the entire time you lived with mommy and still know it now because you are STILL with mommy!

I'm going to, one day, use every one of these emoticons or whatever they are called! It may be a challenge, but watch out!

LoveMy Mickey, have a great weekend. Soon we'll have another 22nd and I'll be radioactive. (shining for my Trevor and Mickey)

Hi My Sweet Precious Mickey!

Isn't it great to see Gretta's and Trevor's mommies back again? They are sweet friends and have helped your mommy so much during the last months. We love them!


My Little One.....Your daddy and I were on the patio late this afternoon, watering some plants, and giving the birds some water and food. Anyway, daddy said there's a little white butterfly. It flew around close to us and landed close to me on a blade of grass. I said, "I love you, Mickey," and it flew away and circled over your gravesite and then left. Sweet Mickey, thank you for sending your message of love through the little butterfly.......It looked exactly like this one I found on the internet the other day.
It had those two little black spots on it too. Reminds me of your pretty dark eyes.

Well, mommy and daddy have a big anniversary coming up tomorrow. One thing is terribly wrong, you're not here with us. But I'm looking forward to the big celebration we will have when we all meet in your Perfect World, Heaven's Perfect Garden.......My little one, until later, I will say goodnight and rest your little eyes if you need to.

With more LOVE than one can imagine, we love you and miss you....

Good morning Love My Mickey

Words are few and difficult right now but I wanted to thank you again for being one of our three musketeers. And thank you for teaching me about the true meaning of butterflies. I saw one of Bobbie's yesterday.

Thanks so much, my friend.

Gretta's mom

Posted by: LoveMyMickey Aug 22 2012, 11:45 AM

Bobbie and Gretta's Mom, thank you again. Mickey and I love you both and your furbabies.



My Sweet Mickey,

Well, the 22nd has rolled around again. It has been exactly a year and a half since you went to be with the Angels in the Perfect World.

It's been a year and a half and I still don't know............

WHY?

Why did you have to go
My Little One?
We had so much left to do,
Walking and playing in the sun.

I look at your pictures,
So many with you in my lap.
Then there we are
On the bed taking a nap.

Life gave us a few bad days,
But most of them were good.
I just hope I appreciated you
The way that I should.

But the question will always remain,
Why did you have to go,
My Little One?
Someday mommy will have to go
And we will be together again.


Sweet Boy, we miss you and love you more every day.......Thank you for your messages of love on the wings of those little butterflies. You'll always be Mommy's baby and Daddy's buddy.

XOXO Mommy & Daddy XOXO

Hello Mickey!

Between yesterday and today I saw SIX butterflies!!! They are mostly the white variety now, but they are beautifully pure. Thank you Mickey, Mickey, Gretta, Gretta and Trevor, Trevor! (=6)

Heaven has been blessed with your presence, Mickey, for 18 months! WOW! Can't wait to meet you in person.


I LOVE YOU, MICKEY and LOVEMY MICKEY!!

Hi My Sweet Mickey!

Isn't that wonderful that Auntie Bobbie saw all those white butterflies? Now that's a lot of LOVE being sent her way. I saw a Monarch a few days ago and they are a good sign. The other day a big ole dragonfly tried to attack me, but I shushed him away. I'm not sure if they're good or not.

Sweet boy, your daddy dreamed that I was handing him a little white dog that looked exactly like you. I thank you for the dream, my little one.

Goodnight my baby. We love you and miss you sooooooo much!

Did you hear the news? Miss Gretta has moved to the Eulogies and Tributes section (I think to be closer to Trevor and you). She just did it today.

Wanted to let you and your wonderful, incredible mommy to know where she is and we'll be there forever.

Let me know if you decide to join us, OK?

Have a GREAT holiday weekend!

I LOVE YOU, MICKEY!

Hi My Darling Mickey,

Isn't Trevor's mommy the BEST? I feel like you sent her those white butterflies, and if you did, I thank you for sending your messages of love to her.

Mommy got leaky eyes today. While I was doing laundry, I was sitting there in the basement looking at the little towel you ate your last meal off of. Another one had ice cream on it. I will never wash them. I just love you and miss you so much.......



Oh yeah, I found Miss Gretta in the Tribute section. I will talk to you here and there too...


Have a good night, my baby boy, and I will be back soon.

I LOVE YOU, MY MICKEY!

My Dear Sweet Little Mickey,

Well, this week is full of memories, today is Tuesday, the day of the week you left us.
Thursday, the 20th, would be your 16th birthday.
Saturday, the 22nd is your 19th month angel-versary.

My Little One, I've been seeing so many little butterflies in our backyard here lately, messages of your love. Saturday afternoon one flew by, lit on my cheek, and left as quick as lightning. Just as if you had given me a kiss. And I thank you for your butterfly kiss.

One request, my sweet one, let's keep Trevor's mommy in our thoughts and prayers, and you be especially kind to Trevor up there in heaven. We love them very much!


My Darling Mickey, we love and miss you more each day.

XOXOXO MOMMY XOXOXO

Posted by: Bobbie Sep 18 2012, 09:12 PM

Dear Mickey and LoveMyMickey,

Oh, these special days can still recall the pain we feel when we have to physically part company, even though it is temporary. You have so many anniversaries this week. Trevor and I thought about you all day today because it is a Tuesday. And you know what? I went to a special meeting tonight and in their bathroom are hundreds of butterflies on the walls. The wallpaper is some of the most beautiful I've ever seen. I think I spent most of my time in there saying Hello! and Thank You! to you and Trevor and Gretta and Mugsy, and Annie and Peanut and Jenna, and of course the incredible team of Crocker, Birney, Kelly, Jasper, Rudy, Spot and Squirt. I couldn't think of any more names, besides I'd spent quite a bit of time in that room already! I'm going to see what the name of the pattern is and who manufacturers it.

Mickey, I just know how you brought your mmmy and daddy the most honest and pure love ever (next to Trevor that is). And they still love and miss you with everything they have. I wish I could have known you here on earth, but I will get to meet you in the future. You are one special, special little guy!

I feel OK today and so am going to bed now so I can have a good day tomorrow, too!

I LOVE YOU, MICKEY!
I LOVE YOU, LOVEMYMICKEY!

My Sweet Little Mickey,

Today would have been your 16th birthday of your earthly journey. And, Oh, what a wonderful journey we had.......We put some little flowers on your gravesite this morning. A real tiny white butterfly flew by.

Oh how I miss giving you some vanilla ice cream, a toy, and your favorite Pupperoni treat.

My Little One, we love you and miss you more than ever. You're daddy's buddy and mommy's baby boy.

Dear LoveMyMickey,

I am so sorry that you had to "celebrate" Mickey's birthday without him present. But I do know he was there the entire time, right?

I have a question: when the weather gets too cold for butterflies (and they have all gone South); what takes their place as messengers from our beloved companions? I am wondering so that I do not miss the obvious. THANKS!

AND, would you do Trevor and me a small favor? If it is still possible, would you look around for a butterfly (not a live one) that can stick in the ground and "flutter" in the air? I would love to send you one so that Mickey could have it at his grave all year 'round. But I do not know your address, etc. and I do not want to invade your privacy. So, if you are up to something like this, let me know so that Trevor and Mickey can look at it every day and smile...........


With love and friendship,
XOAuntie BobbieXO

Posted by: LoveMyMickey Sep 24 2012, 06:44 PM

Hi Bobbie,

I was wondering the same thing, what takes the butterfly's place in the winter. I can only tell you what I have experienced. A very close relative passed away during a cold Jan. about 3 years ago. A robin showed up on our patio (they usually leave during the winter). The robin came by every day and we fed him...........Also several years ago, a close relative got killed. A white dove landed in our back yard, stayed a few minutes, and flew away. We never see white doves in our area normally.........I have read that birds are messengers also, sometimes just a feather.

I'll look around for a garden butterfly. Thank you!

Give Kelly and Dreamer a special pat for me, and you know I'm always thinking of our Angels, Trevor and Mickey.


Love Ya',

LoveMyMickey

Dear Sweet Mickey,

I want to tell you about a dream I had last night, but you might already know about it. I dreamed a big white butterfly flew up close to my side and then flew away. Even in my dream I knew it was you sending me a love message. Then I woke up....I wish I could have seen you, my little one, but you probably thought it would make me sad. But oh, how I would loved to have seen you!

My Baby Boy, we love and miss you more than yesterday and less than tomorrow. Rest your little eyes tonight if that's what you do in Heaven and enjoy every day being healthy and playing in the heavenly sunshine. Until later......

Sending loads of XOXOXOXOXO to mommy's baby and daddy's buddy.

The Falling Leaves

The falling leaves drift by my window
The falling leaves of red and gold
I see your sweet face, the summer kisses
The little body, I used to hold.

Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all, my sweet Mickey
When autumn leaves start to fall.


My Sweet Little Mickey,

The 22nd has come around again when you joined the angels 20 months ago. The beautiful leaves are falling and I remember you walking in the leaves. Now all I see are the leaves on your little grave. This is the second autumn since you've been gone and I miss you just as much as last autumn, maybe more.........Then I remember you are healthy in Heaven's Perfect Garden where it is always warm, but it doesn't keep me from missing you.

My Little One, your daddy and I love you and miss you so very much. With every falling leaf we will remember you.

Hi, LoveMyMickey, just stopping by to say hello and to let you know I always enjoy reading your love letters to your beloved Mickey, and sharing your posts with Tracy. I, too, am so glad Blackie is back safe and sound. He has "character" with his "cat-titude" - - reading about him makes me smile. In some ways he reminds me of my number one kitty son Eli who had the nickname during his earthly journey, among many, as being my "challenge child."

I know your beloved Mickey is so very proud of you for doing what you can for the homeless waifs who come to you for comfort and love - - even though they may not let you physically close to them they know your heart - - they know you care for them. And I believe your beloved Mickey guides their paths to you knowing you will do your best for them. In fact you are an inspiration to me for what I might be able to do when my precious Noah is no longer physically with me.

I sincerely hope today is treating you and your husband kindly, LoveMyMickey, and that you will have a very peaceful, blissful, and cozy evening blessed with your beloved Mickey's sweet Living Spirit to comfort you. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you're doing, how your "soup kitchen" visitors are doing, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Mickey.

Peace and blessings,
moon_beam

Posted by: LoveMyMickey Nov 10 2012, 07:40 PM

Hi Moon_beam,

Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad I can make you smile with my "cat-titude" stories. Animals can be so funny at times...........Moon_beam, the way you describe your days with Noah, you both sound so cozy together. I'm glad Noah is still doing well and I hope you have many more healthy and happy years together. Have a peaceful and cozy evening.......God Bless..

LoveMyMickey


Hi My Sweet Mickey,

I missed you so much today as usual. I got a Thanksgiving card from Concheta and her mommy. Concheta is still doing well. She is looking forward to eating turkey on Thanksgiving day.

My Sweet Boy, I miss giving you turkey on Thanksgiving. I would always try not to give you too much because another doggie we had ate too much and it was not a pretty sight. This will be our second Thanksgiving since you joined the angels, but I know your Sweet Living Spirit will be and is always with us. Auntie Moon_beam taught me that.

My Little One, have a good night and rest your little eyes. Send me a dream if you can. Your daddy and I love you and miss you so much.

Hello LoveMyMickey and sweet Mr. Mickey!!

I know it has been quite awhile since I've written and I'm sorry for that. THANK YOU for your wonderful note today - you are always so inspiring to me. This "C" stuff is beginning to wear on me and having my wonderful 85 year old dad here is good, but exhausting as he has gone way down hill since this January/February when I was with him. He is very qnxious and Ihope we can get his little "problems" all solved before the holidays so we can all enjoy them together.

Yes, this will be Trevor and my 2nd Turkey Day apart, too. Not really looking forward to it - we just have to get through 24 hours. Luckily my dad loves football and my hubby will watch it with him, so if I feel good enough I'll go visit Trevor and the boys.

I wish both of you such loving and peace-filled days, which you deserve richly. How are those butterflies holding up?

I love you both so very, very much!

XOXOxoxo

Hi Bobbie,

I understand, when you don't feel like writing.....I hope you, your dad, and everyone in your family can feel better and enjoy Turkey Day. I hope Dreamer is getting well from the heartworm problem.

The butterflies are holding up real well, still look like new. The morning sun shines on them, makes them look like pretty lights shining toward heaven.

Take care, my friend. You and family are always in my thoughts and prayers. Give Dreamer and Kelly a special pat for me.

Posted by: Gretta's Mom Nov 13 2012, 04:50 PM

Hi Love My Mickey

We truly are a love-triangle, you , me and Trevor's mom. It's come around to that time of the year when just two years ago I could see Gretta slowing down and suffering from the icy cold Mn weather. I told her we'd count down 100 days and by that time it would be warmer (not so, the 100 days was up around the middle of February) so I added another 30 days. She didn't make it through those. She went on to the perfect world and left me here to wweep tears that will never stop until I see her again in the great beyond.

You are and have been such a true friend these last two years. You understand the pain and loss and grieving thaat really never stops - although most of the time we can talk about our heavenly ones without bursting into tears. I treasure your poem and will keep it with me until it's my time to cross over into the Perfect World. (I believe that everyone who loves animals WILL make it in!)

Take care. Love yourself, Love all of your dear ones hear and in the Perfect World.

Hi Gretta's and Rufus' Mom,

Almost two years, where oh where did the time go? I still get tears and my voice breaks when I tell someone about losing Mickey.....I came across my 2011 pocket calendar today and I had written down every detail from the day he started losing his appetite, til the day he passed, Feb. 22. It was 12 days. I gave him a piece of my Valentines Day candy. He really loved it.

I feel like all animal lovers will meet in the Perfect World (Heaven)......You take care, Gretta's Mom, and hug Rufus for me.
I wonder what Gretta and Mickey are up to.

LoveMyMickey



Hi Sweet Little Mickey,

I know you want me to be happy, but it's so hard because I miss you so much and long to snuggle with you....Thank you for sending your daddy a dream night before last. He was lying on his back and he dreamed you got upon his chest. He said it seemed so real. He even heard a moan.

Have a good night my Little One, and I want you to know your daddy and I miss you and love you more every day.

XOXO Mommy XOXO

Oh my dear LoveMyMickey,

Thank you for your supportive and loving note to us. Jeanne is right, that you are one of the rocks that hold my world steady so much of the time.

Now I have tears in my eyes, not only for Trevor, whom will never be surpassed in his ability to love and tolerate what 99.9% of the world could not, but for my Dreamer who is going through heartworm treatment. He just started and I feel so badly for him - he hurts and cannot get comfortable and - AGAIN - there is little that his mommy can do for him but love and protect him. And I promised Trevor I would do just that, so I have another mission now: Dreamer. BTW: the vet put Kelley on a sedative (actually a sleeping pill!) to keep him quiet, too. At least I don't need Chemo next week!

God bless you richly, LoveMyMickey. And may butterflies surround you every single day of your life (whether you can see them or not!)!!!!!

Love and (((hugs)))

Thank you so much Bobbie!....


My Dear Sweet Mickey,

Another 22nd will be here tomorrow, your angel-versary, also Thanksgiving Day. You have been gone 21 months and this will be our second Thanksgiving without you.......This morning I listened to our voice recorded on the treat ball. I would whisper to you to bark and you did, several times. I will never ever let you fade away from my mind or side no matter how long you are gone.

Your daddy and I love you with all our heart and soul. We three are soulmates and I know we will meet in that Perfect World someday.......Sweet Boy, we miss you and love you sooooooo very much.......Have a Happy Thanksgiving with all your angel friends.

XOXOXO Mommy and Daddy XOXOXO

Oh Love My Mickey

I think the "seconds" are harder than the "firsts". They make it seem like our loved doggie is really gone and isn't coming back to earth. The "firsts" stung and stabbed our hearts. The "seconds" just make us sit down and cry.

I love you, Mickey!

Gretta's mom

Gretta's Mom.....That is so true. I really hadn't thought about it that way, but that is exactly the way I feel.

Dear LoveMyMickey,

Two things: is there any way you can burn Mickey's barking onto a CD as a keepsake? (or am I really showing my stupidity?)

Two: please see Trevor's response on his Eulogy page.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO A WONDERFUL, STEADFAST FRIEND!!!!!!! (gobble, gobble) I won't eat turkey because I know how they are killed.

LOVE YOU!
Bobbie (Trevor's mom and Mickey's Auntie)

Posted by: LoveMyMickey Nov 22 2012, 07:49 PM

Hi Bobbie...Yes, I can put Mickey's voice on a DVD and on my hard drive. I was thinking the same thing the other day, great minds think alike. .....We didn't eat turkey today either, but we ate chicken.....I saw Trevor's response, cute. ....I hope you and family had a Happy Thanksgivig.

((((HUGS))))

LoveMyMickey


My Dear Sweet Mickey,

We missed you so much today, our second Thanksgiving without you, but I know your Sweet Living Spirit was with us. We had a quiet day, but have been doing a lot of thinking. We have a big decision to make and will you please, please, please, help us make the right one for us and also "you know who".....

Goodnight, Sweet Boy, and always remember we love you and miss you more every day.

XOXOXO Mommy and Daddy XOXOXO

I agree that "Seconds" are even tougher than "firsts". Few people ask about our departed furbabies anymore, while we quietly wallow in our bereavement. People look at me stunned at times, and basically tell me to "get on with my life", but the pain is still raw. "It was just a dog", is what most are thinking....and it hurts deeply.


LovemyMickey, I hope you managed to get through Thanksgiving without too much of a heartbreak. Your deep love for Mickey is inspiring.

Bobbie
Is Dreamer undergoing heartworm treatment? Bicky (my dog who passed away almost two years ago) had had heartworms too. I picked him up as a stray, and at that time he had advanced heartworms. Luckily, he was treated successfully, and he was able to live a long happy life. I wish Dreamer the best.

Mark (and Bicky)

Posted by: moon_beam Nov 23 2012, 12:32 PM

Hi, LoveMyMickey, thank you so much for sharing with us how you're doing, and your treasured memories of your beloved Mickey. Even though the calendar acknowledges that the first year of physical loss has been endured does not mean that our hearts stop remembering our beloved companions who are now with the angels. Although the deep seering pain of sorrow does eventually ease, NOTHING in heaven or on earth will ever take our beloved companions' treasured memories and sweet Living Spirits from us. Your beloved Mickey lives wrapped in the warmth of your eternal love, my friend.

Still the holidays find us with mixed emotions because we continue to live in a physically-oriented world, and our hearts miss the sweet precious physical presence of our beloved companions. I hope you know that each of us here are truly honored to share your and your beloved Mickey's cherished memories of your earthly journey together, and are here to offer you our comfort, support, and encouragement as you continue your grief adjustment journey.

I hope today is treating you and your husband kindly, my friend, and that your heart is brightened by helping the homeless waifs your beloved Mickey sends to you for a good meal and a safe refuge. Please know you and your husband are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you're doing and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Mickey.

Peace and blessings,
moon_beam

Dear LoveMyMickey
My heart goes out to you on your 2nd anniversary of your beloved Mickey's passing. Bicky's 2nd anniversary is coming up this January and I still find it very difficult to accept that he is gone.

Posted by: LoveMyMickey Dec 9 2012, 06:59 PM

Hi moon_beam, Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words as always. I'm so happy that Noah is doing well, I was so scared there for awhile......Yes, it is a comfort feeding the cats and other hungry animals that come around, also we still have lots of doves and small birds.

moon_beam, thank you for all your support and being a friend.......God Bless..

LoveMyMickey





Hi Mark, my heart goes out to you too, on your 2nd year of losing sweet Bicky, coming up in Jan......Mickey's will be Feb.22. I'm not sure it will be much better for us than the first..........There was a little white female Pekingese up for adoption at the L.I.F.E. House here, saw it on Petfinder. Husband and I brought up so many pros and cons for a couple of days, but the cons won. The time just isn't right for us now. Anyway I sent a small donation to help with her adoption fee and she has been adopted. I'm always looking at little white dogs on the internet, but right now we're happy to live with Mickey's memories. He is a special boy, as I am sure your Bicky is.

Thank you Mark for your support and being a friend.....God Bless..

Hi LoveMyMickey!

Thank you for all your wonderful messages to Trevor! I can tell how you love him so very much and just how wide your heart is for others. You are great!

I wanted to let you know about a book I saw and ordered on Amazon. It's called Butterfly Effect: how your life matters., but I don't know the author's name. From what I could see, it is fantastic and I think you would really like it, too. It is my Christmas present from Stan and isn't expensive. Wanted to tell you right away so you could check it out! Yea, Butterflies!!!!!

Have a peaceful weekend and know that Trevor and I love you very, very much!

XOXOxoxo
Bobbie

PS: Hi Mickey!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: LoveMyMickey Dec 16 2012, 06:14 PM

Hi Bobbie,

I checked out the book on Amazon, also was able to read a few pages from the book. I like that theory and it is so true. I guess the Butterfly Effect is like what we call the Ripple Effect or Domino Effect. So what we choose to do really matters.

Not too long ago, I had a choice of what to do or say and I chose the right one. Those butterfly wings flapped the molecules of kindness to someone, and then on to someone else who really needed help, and I am very happy with that.

Thank you for telling me about the book......Have a cozy evening with your furbabies. I hope Dreamer is recovering from the heartworms.

I love Trevor and his sweet mommy.

LoveMyMickey



Hi My Sweet Little Mickey...I just want to say mommy and daddy love you more every day. We still talk to you, I hope you can hear us.......I got some Christmas flowers to put on your and Annie's gravesite. It was a little windy today, so I'll try to fix them tomorrow. The wind really makes the butterfly's wings move......Goodnight, my love, and I will write more later.

Sweet Boy, we miss you so much and it hurts......

HI Love My Mickey

Thank you for being a friend to Bobbie and me. We love you and need you and you are always there for us - a faithful Musketeer.

Yes, we do hurt for our invisible ones. Moonbeam say it goes away after a while and is replaced by the pleasamt, happy memories, but , after two years, I'm convinced we will always feel the hole in our hearts that they left when they (lucky them) went on to the Perfect World.

When the people around us a re happy and celebrating, we can rest happy, though through tears, in the memory and love of our dear soul-mates.

Thank you for sticking with us.

Gretta's mom

Posted by: LoveMyMickey Dec 17 2012, 07:02 PM

Hi Gretta's Mom,

It certainly is an honor to be one of the musketeers and to be your and Bobbie's friend. I will try to always be here for you both.....I agree, that emptiness in our heart will always be there for our precious pets. I have such sweet and sometimes funny memories of Mickey, but then I look around at the places where he would lay, drink, or eat, and I almost feel sick with emptiness.

I experienced the most beautiful scene late this afternoon. We had a mild thunderstorm to come through, then the sun came out. I went out back on the patio, looked up, and saw the most beautiful big rainbow. The beginning was right behind a pine tree at our back fence. It was so huge, I have no idea where the other end was.......I'm sure that one was for Mickey or was it a sign from Mickey?

Thank you for being a friend and give Rufus a special pat for me.

Love you all...

LoveMyMickey

Posted by: Gretta's Mom Dec 17 2012, 09:05 PM

The great big beautiful rainbow was a great big beautiful sign from Mickey FOR SURE. Saying, mom, I'm better than all right. I beautiful. I'm happy. My love for you covers the whole sky. (Gretta whispered it to me.)

Oh My Dear Sweet Mickey,

12/22/2012----22 months ago you went to heaven to be with the angels. It seems so long ago since I held you, and yet it seems like only yesterday.....I sent a Christmas card to your first parents. They had you for almost 5 years. Now I truly know how they felt giving you up. But they knew you had a good home.

My Little One, this is our second Christmas without you. The best present I could ever get would be you, healthy again and laying in my lap.

We Love You and your precious memories, Sweet Boy. Precious Memories, how they linger. How they ever flood my soul.......

We love you and miss you so much. You'll always be mommy's baby and daddy's buddy.

My Sweet Little Mickey,

I'm sorry I haven't written to you for awhile, but you know I talk to you every day at home. We talk a lot don't we? I have been especially sad and lonely for you for the past few days. The cold dreary winter days makes it worse. I'll be so glad when you can send me a butterfly this spring and summer. I remember how that one little butterfly briefly flew down and touched my cheek as if you were giving me a kiss.

Your daddy said last night that he would just love to snuggle with you. My darling baby boy, we love you and miss you so very much. Goodnight and "rest your little eyes."

I am so sorry Mickey had to go. My baby boy Gizy had to go too, today is a month and 13 days since he left.
I love him so much so I know how hard it is for you, how painful it is to be separated from our furry babies.

Mickey, I hope you and Gizy become friends. Gizy is a sweet little baby, you will enjoy his happy, bubbly and loving personality.
You are out little angels.

Kisses,

Gizy's mommy

Thank you Gizy's Mom......I'm sure Mickey and Gizy are good friends romping and playing in the heavenly sunshine....



My Dear Sweet Mickey,

Mommy had a rough day and night yesterday. I was sick yesterday and then we had to get up around 5 this morning to go to the basement because of storm warnings. We missed you so much laying between us on the couch. Storms never scared you. You would just curl up and go to sleep. I could feel your spirit beside us and thank you for watching over us.

My Sweet Boy, we love and miss you more every day. Someday we will all be together because we are soulmates.......As daddy would say, "Rest your little eyes".

Hello My Sweet Little Boy Mickey,

Mommy wanted to stop by to say we love you and miss you so much. We have lots of snow on the ground, but some of the little stray cats still come by to eat on the carport. One day a little Yorkie doggie came to the door and said hi. She belongs to a neighbor and they were trying to catch her. They got her home okay.......My little one, you were a good boy and never did run off down the road.

Mommy and Daddy enjoys talking to you every night and saying goodnight to you. It keeps us feeling close to you....Well, Sweet Boy, keep enjoying your heavenly home and many, many friends. We hope to see you again some day.

Loads of Love and Kisses,

My Dear Sweet Little Mickey,

Feb. is a sad month for mommy. This time, 2 years ago, you were beginning to feel bad. I remember your good days and your bad days. Your little heart was failing even though you were on medication. You had a lively spirit and tried to play no matter how bad you felt.........Mommy is still sad, but I remeber all the good times we had, the love, the fun, and doing special things for you. That makes me smile........Your daddy still hears things in our bedroom that sounds like you. You both would take a nap together there. The other day he heard a noise that sounded like you had gotten up and shook out your fur......I like to believe your little spirit visits us....

Have a good night, my love, and "rest your little eyes".

We love you and miss you more every day.

Hi Mark,

Thank you for your kind words. I am doing okay. I remember what you said on Bicky's second anniversary, that the waves of grief and lonliness are the new normal for you. That is the way I feel.....Yes, Mickey was a good doggie and was very special. I guess that's why it hurts so much......And I know Bicky was very special to you........On a lighter note, I'm still looking forward to reading his love story.

Thank you Mark for being a friend and keeping in touch. God Bless you and family....

Hi My Sweet Little Mickey,

The temps reached 71 today and our first March flowers are blooming. I put one on yours and Annie's little grave. Oh how I wish you and I could have taken a walk today. You always liked to walk way down in the back yard and say hi to all the neighbor doggies through the fence. But they are all gone now. Two yards over there is a little Yorkie that speaks to me and I bet you would like her.......Oh my little one, I do remember all the fun we had.

Little Mickey, I am so sad, because Rufus had to leave his earthly home to go to the Perfect World heaven. I hope you have met up with him and welcome him. I hope he has found his sister Gretta, cousin Trevor, and all the Musketeers, and other friends. You all be good and send some love rays to Gretta's Mom. She is heartbroken. And always keep those prayers going for Trevor's mommy too.

My baby, we miss you and love you sooooooo very much.

I heard a breath of wind tell me something - that great big black goofy Rufus had made it to the Perfect World and he had met the sweetest little white fluffy dog called Mickey and the he was a Musketeer, too. Bask together sweet ones. The large and the small, the black and the white, the lively and the restful, the newly arrived and the old hands. All of you are loved. Each of us back here on earth is waiting for the moment we can be reunited with you.

Hello my sweet darling Mickey,

Mommy just wanted to stop by to wish you and all your friends a "Happy Easter". I think about you all the time and your daddy and I will always talk to you and tell you goodnight.

Remember the little Maltese, Concheta? I sent her some fresh baked organic treats from the internet for Easter, always in your memory. Her mommy sent me a video. Concheta grabbed a treat, took off with it, and really enjoyed it. She reminded me so much of you, my sweet boy. Oh how I wish I could give you an Easter treat. All I can do is put another fresh flower on yours and Annie's little graves.

I understand you and Rufus have met. Since this is his first Easter in heaven, make sure he doesn't chase the sweet little rabbits. I don't think he would anyway, because he is a good and kind doggie like his sister Gretta.

My little Mickey, you and all the Spirit Animals please never, ever forget to say special prayers for all the heartbroken mommies and daddies here who have lost their precious babies....Also say special prayers for Trevor's mommy and Gretta & Rufus's mommy. We Musketeers have to keep on keeping on.

My Baby Boy, we miss you and love you more each day.

Things are going quite badly for Bobby right now. Seventhe day with no reattachment of feeding tube. Stan and I are desperate and need prayers like we've never needed them before. I know this will come out all right in the end, but it's a terrifying path getting there.

But despite all of that, we know that Our Savior died for us and then rose agaon and that HE will protect us from all hurt, harm and danger. Please God, save my sister.

My Dear Sweet Baby Boy Mickey,

Another Tuesday has rolled around, Tuesdays are especially sad. But I try to think of the happy fun times we had together.
Thank you for getting in contact with both your daddy and me a few days ago. Your daddy was sitting on the couch in the living room, dozed off, and dreamed you stood up beside the bed and wanted him to help you up like you always did. He said it was so real.
I know it's too early for real butterflies, so maybe you put it in their heart to send me a pretty compact with a butterfly on it. I had ordered some things from an online company and that was a free gift. It is so pretty. Anyway, my little one, I thought of you.

You be good, baby, and remember to say big special prayers for Trevor's mommy and family.....

We love you and miss you more every day.

OH Love My Mickey

How strongly your love for Mickey-Boy shines through your messages to him. You never stop missing them, ever. A real live "sighting" - how wonderful. Ever since Rufus went home, I have been sensing him lying on the floor beside me when I'm working on the computer. He NEVER lay on that side in this life - the table was too close to the radiator. Sometimes, like now, it's Trevor's cousin Dreamer, many other times it's a spirit - Rufus's spirit.

rufus's foster mom made a picture book of him and it arrived yesterday. I didn't have the courage to open the package yesterday but I did it today. As expected it was BEAUTIFUL! And I cried my eyes out - wept bitter,lonesome,loving tears. Because I will never get to see this guy on this side of heaven. I know that's how you feel for little Mickey. He looks like such a good, happy little dog. When he left for the Perfect World, he must have taken a lot of happiness and joy with him. Our houses are empty, our arms have no one to hug. Did you ever think a hollow could be so real?

Thank you for staying with us Musketeers. We're down but not out. I'll write an e-mail later.

We love you Mickey. Take good care of your mom and dad. They need you more every day.

Blessings,

Gretta and Rufus's mom

Hello My Sweet Little Boy Mickey,

Guess what????? On one of the warm days last week, your daddy was sitting on the patio while I was feeding the birds down in the back yard. He said he saw a white butterfly go by. I said are you sure? He said yes, I'm sure. Anyway, I saw the white butterfly this afternoon as I was feeding the birds. It flew by me and disappeared in the neighbor's yard. Thank you my darling Mickey for sending us a butterfly so early in the season........We love you and miss you sooooooo much!

Great poem, LoveMyMickey, pretty much says it all.

Posted by: marklovesbicky Apr 20 2013, 10:23 PM

Yes, such a nice poem....
And such a beautiful tribute to Mickey. Oh, I so understand your grief and your longing to be with Mickey again. I often look for "signs" from Bicky...The other day, his digital.frame (with a thousand pictures of him) suddenly turned on again(after I had turned it off) as I was getting ready for bed. And his angelic face and million-dollar-smile was looking at me. It gave me such a warm feeling....
Anyway, your devotion to Mickey is inspiring...I hope Mickey and Bicky are friends in the beyond, waiting for us!

Thank you all for liking the poem. There are so many pet grief poems on the internet that fit our feelings.

Mark, that is so cool about the digital frame. I do believe Bicky was getting in touch with you. It does give a warm feeling when our babies send us a sign. Sometimes I get goose bumps.

I'm sure Bicky and Mickey are good friends waiting for us. Won't that be wonderful for us all to be together again!

God Bless,

LoveMyMickey

Good morning Love My Mickey

Can you believe that a miracle is happening today? it's all the result of the unflagging prayers of the Musketeers and many others. Although we live and love and have good times in this world, it is not our home.. Our true home is where our beautiful soul-mate animals have gone and where they have complete happiness. Some bright morning when this life is over, we'll all fly away, to a land where joys will never end. Yes, like them, we will fly away and join them. No more crying there, we're going to see the King and all the soul-mates who have ever lived - reunited once again never to be parted again.

Thank you for being such a powerful and faithful Musketeer. Mickey, you done good finding your soul mate and letting her know she was yours. Tears may last for a night, but joy IS coming in the morning.

No matter if there is snow on the ground here today, today is a brighter day!

Blessing always,

Gretta' and Rufus's mom

Gretta's and Rufus's Mom,

Thank you for your kind words. "I'll Fly Away" sent me down memory lane remembering my growing up church years and later too. I love the old church hymns. I hope you are doing better and are having good weather. A few days ago, a small dark butterfly flew by me on the patio, circled around my work table and disappeared. Naturally I thought of Mickey, but...hmmmmm...by it being dark, maybe it was from Gretta and Rufus.......

Love ya',

One of the Musketeers......LMM




My Dear Sweet Mickey,

Mommy just wanted to stop by and say hi to my sweet baby boy and that I am always thinking of you, your routines, and the things we did together. Most of all I want to thank you for coming to me in a dream. Yesterday while I was taking a nap on the couch, I dreamed you had jumped real high, like you were flying, and was going to land on my head. I woke up before you landed.

Remember, you and all the Spirit Animals keep the prayers going for Trevor's mommy and all the family. Also prayers for all those here that are sad because they lost their babies. May they find peace.

Goodnight my little one and God Bless....

We love you and miss you so much.

Hi Mickey

Know what? Monday is rufus's birthday and there's going to be a big party. So gather up all your brothers and sisters and cousins and friends and mosey on over to where all the fun is happening. In the Perfect World the animal cake and ice cream never runs short and never makes anybody sick. Say hi for me, OK? Thanks, Mickey. I love you and I love your mom, too.

Hello My Darling Boy Mickey,

Sunday was Mother's Day and I missed you soooooo very much. We would have our picture taken together on Mother's Day. The other day I dreamed of a little gray poodle coming toward me, it was not you, but it was your size. I dream a lot here lately, didn't use to dream much. But I do always tell you to come to me in a dream, don't I?

Remember Concheta, the little Maltese, that I help? She and her mommy sent me a Mother's Day card. They always send their blessings and prayers.

Oh Mickey, I understand you and all the spirit animals were at Rufus birthday pawty. I know a good time was had by all eating cake, ice cream, treats of all kinds. And like Rufus's mom said, you won't get sick in the Perfect World.

I love you, my baby, and I need you. Your daddy feels the same way.

Goodnight and God Bless....

XOXO MOMMY & DADDY

My Sweet Little Mickey,

I just wanted to stop by to say hi and that I love you more every day. It's been over 2 years since you went to be with the Angels and you are my little Angel. I stilll have your fluffy bed with some of your toys and treats out in our bedroom and pictures all over my computer room. Things are better for me, but I still have my tearful moments.

In the future, I might not stop by as often as I used to, but I really appreciate all the support and comfort everybody has given me during the past two years. No matter how long or how short the posts have been, I appreciate them all.

My little one, I haven't seen a butterfly for several days, but this morning I saw a little white butterfly circle your gravesite and disappear into the trees. Thank you for sending your love and comfort to me.

Sending all my love back to you, my sweet little one. I miss you more than ever.

XOXO MOMMY XOXO

Dear LovemyMickey
I believe we are in the same grieving place. It's been 2 years/4 months since I lost Bicky. I still have his pictures, bed. And toys...It feels that I have reached a plateau...I miss him so very much...
I always look forward to seeing our posts on here. They have always given me great comfort.
I know that that Mickey is with you....You do him such great honor by your participation on this board.
If you ever need a friend to talk to, I am here. I know exactly what you are going through.
Yours (always), Mark (and Bicky)

Hi Mark,

I hope you are doing well today....I agree, we are in the same grieving place and have reached a plateau. Mickey's bed still has the indented place on it where his little body laid. I could never put all that away, because it makes me feel closer to him........I got a new cell phone in 2010 and took some pictures of him in Dec. He looked so well and fiesty, it is hard to believe he was gone 2 months later, although I knew he had heart trouble. I open my phone every night and talk to him, his picture. (People might think I'm a little bit crazy, but that's okay.)

I wouldn't leave the board completely, because I would feel like I'm abandoning Mickey. I'm glad my posts have given you comfort as yours have given me comfort. Thank you for being a friend. If you ever need to talk, I am here too.......You and sweet Bicky are always in my thoughts and prayers.

God Bless,

LoveMyMickey

Posted by: marklovesbicky May 20 2013, 01:31 AM

Every morning I wake up and go downstairs to where Bicky's urn is, I turn on his digital frame (of over 500 rotating pictures), and open the drapes to let the piercing sun enter the living room...All the while I sing "Here comes the sun". It's is the first thing I do every day...This is what I used to do with Bicky when he was alive. It was the beginning ritual of every day for us. Some people might call it crazy or (worse) sad (now that he has passed on), but it links me with him and that's what's important.
The older I become, the more I realize that people's negative (or contrary) comments are just God's way to tell me that those people don't belong in my life. And when people react positively to my continuing over Bicky with reassuring comments and understanding, it's a sign that those people belong in my life.
And I understand about how Mickey must of looked so "feisty" even a few months before his passing. Bicky also was quite strong in the months leading to his passing, and I look at those pictures and can't believe he was preparing to let go.
Thinking of you LovemyMickey, Mark (and Bicky)

Posted by: LoveMyMickey May 21 2013, 06:37 PM

Hi Mark......I generally do the same thing, get up, open the blinds in the living room, but I don't sing. I touch Mickey's 2 pictures and say hi to him. I have most of his pictures in my computer room......It's good to keep up some kind of routine, of which I have several involving Mickey. After Mickey passed, of course a lot of the routines were gone. Sometimes I would just stand and ask myself, "what am I supposed to do next."..............I agree, the negative people don't belong in our life, just the ones that understand.

You have a lot of pictures of Bicky, which I know is a blessing and comfort to you. Was Bicky a big dog? Mickey kept his weight at around 15 or 16 lbs.

Have a good night/day and God Bless....

LoveMy Mickey

My Darling Sweet Mickey,

We're thinking of you and missing you on this beautiful Memorial Day. Oh, how I miss seeing you laying in the open patio door soaking up the sunshine and watching the birds and squirrels.

I worked on yours and Annie's gravesite yesterday, changing the artificial butterflies around, and put some pretty artificial azelea flowers there. I took pictures and one looked like an evil face on it. It was one of the butterflies had merged with a rock and made that face. Needless to say, I deleted that one.

Baby Boy, we miss you and love you more every day.....Please send me a real butterfly, okay?

Sending kisses on your little head and lots of belly rubs.....

XOXO MOMMY & DADDY

I just wanted to say that I'd miss you and your wonderful white fluffy dogs if you left LS. Sometimes we don''t post for a while but when our best friends come back it's a big ray of sunshine in our lives.

Hi Leejaye,

My friend, I think of you and your angel Mischief often. The other day I was thinking it had around two years since you lost Mischief...I hope Pursival, Bandit, and all your family are doing well.

It was good to see you here again......Hugs..

LoveMyMickey

Hi Gretta and Rufus's Mom......No, I wouldn't leave, I would feel like I'm abandoning Mickey. Sometimes I just don't have the time to post............I agree, it's good to see old friends come back and post. I hope you're doing well.

Are you getting the Bob Squad messages? Please ask all your doggies to get ready to wipe away our tears today. Someone we love dearly may leave us soon and go to live with all our dear ones in the Perfect World. Thank you Mickey and all your brothers and sisters.

LoveMyMickey?

I don't see anywhere it says you are leaving. Please don't. Even though I don't always post, I do read your posts every time. Hugs!

I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to give the impression that I was leaving, just might not stop by as often, sometimes I don't have the time. But I think I've been here more since I wrote that. .....Thank you Missingmygranny ad Tom'sDad.

Hi, LoveMyMickey, stopping by to say hello and to let you know you are in my thoughts and prayers. I also want to offer you my sincerest sympathies in the physical loss of White Collar. I'm so glad you were able to offer him a resting place in your garden area. I know your beloved Mickey and all our beloved companions are surrounding him in the company of the angels welcoming him into heaven's perfect garden.

I hope today is treating you and your husband, kindly, LoveMyMickey, - - and all the homeless waifs who come to your door knowing they will receive a hearty meal and a loving greeting. You are indeed an inspiration to us all, my friend.
Please know you and your husband are in my thoughts and prayers, LoveMyMickey, and that I always look forward to knowing how you're doing, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Mickey.

Peace and blessings,
moon_beam

Posted by: LoveMyMickey Jun 8 2013, 06:23 PM

Hi moon_beam, my friend, Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad we have a place for White Collar too. I think last evening we were in shock and didn't know what to do and I didn't want my husband digging in the hard dirt. After we settled down, my husband thought of the little flower bed. It's a nice little place decorated with bricks around it right next to the house.

Thank you again moon_beam for stopping by with your comforting words. Thank you also for your prayers. I hope you and Noah have a cozy evening. Give him a special pat for me.

God Bless,

LoveMyMickey
