I have been gone for a couple of weeks I have just finished reading some post old and new. One thing that sticks out to me is the things that we have all learned from this chapter in our lives....the summary would read something like...and even though so many things have been said about the computer it has enabled us in a great time of pain and agony to be comforted and to comfort. We have been able to reach out to one another in a way we couldn't just a few years ago. Here by accident...I dont think so..So many things we have learned about our selves and one another...how much the same we all truely are, and our connections to one another. My heart has been overflowing with the words typed to me and others..truely overflowing. I still say I dont know what I would have done without you guys. I will be forever grateful and you will reconize me in our heaven, I will be the one with the big smile on my face and I will be singing it is true I knew it was true. Love Pamela

You are so right, Pamela. Thanks for posting this. I really hope that our babies know how much we talk about them and miss them. They probably have a lot of other things on their minds now though, with all that must be going on at The Bridge. But one day we can tell them all about this site and the friends we've met here. Love, Jenny

Dear Pamela, Yes we all are the same for we all have broken, shattered hearts, and wounded, bruised souls. We share the fact we all had and have intense love for our babies and that love never leaves us.

We all have compassion in our hearts for one another and are able to reach out to those who hurt just like we all do. We comfort one another and a lot of us have come to love one another. I could not have made it without all of you either. Even through my loss I am blessed with loving caring friends.

One day we will all meet in Heaven and what a reunion we will have with our babies and each other. I know without a doubt in my mind our precious babies who loved with the purest love ever known to man, other than the love of God will be there.

Pamela I said in another post that I want the last sentence in the last chapter in my life to read... And God blessed me and restored that which I lost just like Pamela said He would.
Love, Ann

Dear Pamela,

What you said is so true. We are all very much the same. Everyone here is so connected. I think there are going to be a lot of smiling LS members in Heaven! Meeting all of these wonderful people and their beloved pets has been such a comfort to me that words cannot express my gratitude for finding this site. I don't think we're here by accident either. I cherish my LS family and will never forget any of you.

Love,
Lynn

As if to further prove that this is true....the tenant upstairs told me today that her cat got outside yesterday. She was beside herself and wasn't sure what to do.
So, I told her everything that I had read on here. I told her to post fliers, talk to the neighbors, post on local websites, post in an ad in the local paper. She is going to leave food out and keeping looking around the neighborhood.
Had I not read everyone's advice on here, I wouldnt' have been able to help her. It is my hope that she finds her kittie. She said it was an indoor cat, so it had no collar on, and that he was 10 yrs old and shy. I feel so bad. I hope he returns home. I'm going to have hope that the power of LS will reach out and help the kittie.

Pamela,

Thank you for posting what I have been thinking about the folks here ~ I have a huge amount of gratitude for all the caring and unconditional support that I have found here not to mention the unbelievable pet photos that have truly warmed my aching heart ~ here I have been able to find friends ~ and mostly what I appreciate is the incredible way that compassion and caring and love can reach out globally to each one of "us" I am truly amazed and forever grateful ~

Sincerely, Kathryn

Dear Pamela,

Such a profound statement you've made! I've often felt that Shiloh's death was not in vain...it brought some beautiful people in to my life. I truly do consider this website my second family. I've been deeply touched by so many people here. It really has renewed my faith in humanity.

Thanks for sharing this thought.
Love,
Kathleen
