Dear little Felix, Today is the one year anniversary of your death. You enriched our lives, you gave us so much, you lived your life to the fullest, you ignored the bad times and chose the good times, you were the best companion to your brother Yukon and to all your family. You brought us so much joy and comfort. We will never forget you, you live forever in our hearts . Love, Your mom, toonie.

K9 Pal, Muffins and Furkidlets Mom, thanks for your kind words, true comfort that I needed much at this time where the following three week blur and the fatal decision I wrongly took for Yukon is a hard first year memory to go through and your compassion much much much appreciated. Hope that your kindness is returned, ten-fold!

Toonie..I see you visited my original post about "How do I stop Crying" and you visited my Little Guy's tribute and talked about it being like a storybook. I did also put a 2nd tribute of Little Guy and his sister if you care to take a stroll.

I see how you visit and offer words of comfort while we all know you are as sad inside as we are. I am new here so I went back and visited your story about Yukon and now Felix. I am so sorry your babies were taken from you. We all know how that is. I just felt since you took the time to see my babies...I wanted to see that part of your life also. There is a lot of sadness in here but also warmth, understanding, caring, and sharing. Our special friends managed to bring us all together so we can hold each other in our times of need.

It is wonderful what you are doing and I do hope your life is full of as many special friends as you need. They bring us joy and sadness but first is joy. Their light shines so bright it overcomes the darkness. We love them. We miss them. There are not enough words to tell them how we feel. We have the same longings to be with them for a much longer time than any of us had.

Take Care and I do wish you much love and happiness and hugs.

Judy (Little Guy, Keeper, & Little Girl's Mom..forever).
(as well as all the wonderful ones who came before)

Love Them you are a truly compassionate person, thanks for your kind words, it sure helps. I did have favorites among my two cats, if it was wrong then I may have paid the extreme price for this indulgence. It's a long story. When I was seven I got an orange/white kitten , Minou, who quickly became my soulmate. I used to think he was a prince that a witch had turned into a cat, I would stare in his eyes as he stared into mine and his intelligence made that story seem so real, I still sort of believe in it today. When I would cry, he would come comfort me and take away my tears. I come from a rather hard family though I got my share of love however, animals were to them of minor importance. To make a long story short, my Minou of 7 years old was killed by a cop while I was at school, just because he was foaming at the mouth and our neighbour was screaming rabies.(If a cat drinks from a water bowl while a toad is in there it can release a poison that will make the dog or cat foam at the mouth for 20 minutes or so). When I came home, my Minou was gone and buried, where? I never asked. So when I was 41 my children were 6 and 4 we decided to get two cats, went to a pet shop and there was this beige/white kitten, looking so much like my first cat, I had to get him. He was frolicking with a tuxedo cat from another litter, I figured this cat will come along too because they are already playmates. At first I tried to love them equally, rock each one of them for the same amount of time etc...But Felix was always hyper, Yukon would let himself be rocked, eyes closed tight, purring until he would charmingly fall asleep as if in heaven. Felix had this annoying habit of sneaking a teat session when I wasn't looking. I will never know if it was because he was weaned too early but he would try and suck on my sweater whenever I wasn't watching him that bugged me so very much. He wouldn't do it as much if my sons or husband had him in their laps, but Felix could not resist trying on the only female in this household...Yukon had no such (vices), was bigger and went on to grow much bigger than his brother. Whenever Felix would have been in my arms, Yukon would resent this, get even by trying to beat him up for this. Eventually, Felix came to rely on my the three men in the family for being on their laps and Yukon became my only momma's boy. Of course I took care of both for feeding and looking after . When Felix died, my grief and guilt took me on the road to hell. I know most of you will think I'm crazy but I think that Yukon felt this same guilt and we were both unable to reach for each other in our grief for Felix. I do believe that our injustices towards Felix ended up costing us Yukon and I our whole life's relationship, in a nightmarish way. Today, when I grieve, Felix and Yukon are sort of fused together, finally, they have equal time from their mom. But Yukon still permeates my psyche, I still wonder if my soulmate cat of my youth had not come back as Yukon, and I still ache that in my own way, I didn't do better than my parents had with my Minou. But I have to take all this in the way that must be: I have to recognize my faults and improve. If I can do this by the time my life is over, I shall have made amends. Love Them, thanks for getting this out, and thanks for having read about this now rather aged saga.

Thank you, Toonie, for the story. It made them come alive in my mind's pictures. I am so glad you shared this. I know you felt better letting it come out. They are both part of you and always will be. You have enough love inside for both. Grief does different things to different people. There can be no wrong expressions of it.
I am so sorry to hear about that young baby, Minou...just devastating. I am glad you got Felix and Yukon and, of course, their personalities were different, just like people.

I believe animal people have extra large hearts cause they have to store so many loves and memories. I have had a number of pets in my lifetime and saying goodbye is always just as painful but I don't regret getting any of them and many of them helped me say goodbye to those that had left.

It gets hard to feel sorry for oneself when a new kitten, puppy, or any special friend demands attention. They make one smile again. My parents made me give away my dog and I swore as an adult no one would ever make me give up any special friend that was part of my home. I kept my word. Right now, my space is empty but I know it won't stay that way a long time. Sometimes one needs to just take a deep breath.

Take Care and thanks again for sharing.

Toonie....I am just now reading this post. What a putz I am. I was feeling so horrible about Chase and that anniversary and then this post popped up at the top of the forum. I looked at the date and realized you had gone through the "dreaded 1 year day" and I had not responded. I am so sorry.....you have been a good friend to me. I know how you must have felt on that day. God bless you Toonie. You will be rewarded someday and you will get to be with your baby. I cannot wait to see my babies...........

John, thanks so much for your kindness, please don't feel bad I know you had your own
grief in the way and your wishes came just at the right time for me, as you know, it's the time of year as well as the date, same for you, I'm sure that a few weeks later you are still very emotional about Chase, not only on the anniversary date but with the time of year, same as last year, remembering those days is painful too. We'll get through, we will become stronger and yes, once our mission here is over (and we don't really know much more about the nature and term of the mission) we will rejoin the ones we love. Take care John, you're in my heart as well.

Thanks for your kind thoughts Eddies' mom, I know how hard it must be for you to be at this early stage still, and Eddie is such a doll, much cuter than his little postman tongue.gif
I felt he was so huggable and sweet and beautiful too. Some time ago someone here (sorry that I forgot who, it was so smart what was said) remarked that each day that is is a day closer to when we will be reunited. So let's look forward to each day that is, and make the best of it, because this is how our pets expect us to be and we want to let them see that this is who we are, still the same, maybe a little sadder but carrying on bravely, like they did, like we will do. Hugs. Happy thanksgiving, take little Eddie and let him into your heart , hold him in your thankgiving, early as it is, you know how grateful you will be throughout your life for having had your wonderful Eddie during that time. A very warm thanksgiving to you and your family and to all the people who are here. May your pets present and in spirit bring you comfort for you to celebrate your thankfulness of the simple pleasures that are food, family and love, lived ,remembered and thanked.

Toonie, I had to come to your thread to let you know that everything that you said to LoveThem applies to you as well. You have been such a comfort to so many of the people in the forums, especially me. I am so very grateful to have met you because you are a unique and special person and I wish you just as much comfort and sweet thoughts that you have wished others. You are very inciteful. I know that you have been suffering with grief for a long time now but you have turned that into positive thoughts for others.
Thank you.
Stephanie
