On March 20th 1 year ago I returned you to the arms of the Creator. My wife is out of town for a spell so I am alone with my thoughts. I cry for you Miss....I love you so much! Daddy misses you terribly still. I hope you are with Chase & getting along better with each other than you did in this world. I have been well but as your marker draws near I am slipping into despairity. I have wept much today. I held your urn this morning. I watched videos of you yesterday.....and I cry harder everytime that little voice whispers in my ear "I want you back...."

I LOVE YOU ABIGAIL

Abigail & Chase are survived by their sisters, Angel & Rocket

You can be sure Abigail and Chase are doing well together. I believe the hereafter is a perfect world where everything and everybody is in harmony with each other.

As you remember your sweet little Abigail on this day I hope you are able to savor in some of the beautiful memories you and she made together. Precious memories are what we have left when our loved furry kids pass on to keep in our hearts and minds for the rest of our days on earth. They became a permanent part of our very being when we fell in love with them.

May you find peace and comfort as you think about and miss your Abigail.

My dearest John, I know how hard you loss was, how hard it is still. My thoughts will be with you throughout today, your love for Abigail is something that will always stay with you, try and celebrate it and not let it take you too close to despair, be good to yourself John and take care like your furkids would want you to do. I hope that Chase and Abigail will send you some really good vibrations and that you will make it through that horrid first year marker easier than what you anticipated. Hugs on this hard day.

Dear John, I know how hard these special days, days of remembrance, tears, heartache and yearning are.....these Angelversaries, or Sadversaries. They bring up the worst of the worst feelings we carry, still. And yet these same feelings honour the never-ending importance of our ever-precious babies, so are also part of their legacy of love. When the love is this big, how can the missing them ever be less so?

My heart breaks for you on this March 20th, as surely as it did for myself on my own, special days. Cry as you must, and know that were I there with you, we would cry together.....

I know this is a VERY rough day for you, John. Hugs to you and know I have opened my heart today to share YOUR pain for your baby. We are shedding tears together, John.

Take Care and I wish you peace.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss!
They are such comical, funny, playful little creatures!

We never had one because till recently they were not legal in out state, but that did not stop a lot of people.
One day my wife and I were on a walk and we saw a young woman crawling through some shrubbery at the edge of a parking lot. We went over and asked if she was OK.

"Ssssshhh...My ferret got out of my bag, and she's in the bushes!"
We helped her round it up...but the only thing I think we really did was to distract the ferret, because in the shrubbery, if she did not really want to be caught, she could have kept us going all day.
They had a happy reunion, and it turned out well, and we got to play with a ferrett.

Oh, John. I'm sorry that I am a couple of days late but please know that you and Abigail are on my mind during this time. Many hugs to you, your wife, Angel, and Rocket.

I want to thank you all for posting, frankly, I am glad that day is behind me now. My wife is home and I spoke of my profuse sadness during that day with her. During the conversation a perverse thought swept through my head. I have often mentioned, cut down, and deplored the group of people I call "skin deeps". We all know 'em....the ones who exclaim, "It's just a cat" or It's just a dog". I really have to be careful with my sleeve mounted emotions around those kind of people because, one: ferrets seem to be "low on the list" of why anybody would care so much for one and, two: I have to protect my masculinity (yea right ), ANYHOW, during the conversation and having thought about these losers, I realized that life was so much easier for them and so much harder for me. What I mean is they never have to "let go", they don't love furkids like we do and so do not expose themselves to the profuse grief we get when our beloved furry makes a quick and unwanted exit across the Rainbow Bridge!!! It almost for a brief instant sounded better, certainly more balanced than the past week or so has been, Then, reality sets in. I could never trade that skin deep security for all the smiles, all the joy, all the love I have received from my babies. Guess I'll just go on being the "big old sap" that I was born to be. Thank you again my freinds...it is good to see you again!!!

A small footnote...I have posted a new video of "the living" here...

It will be sure to make you smile...
John

You were right, John, about the smile. I saw the video and by golly...looky here......................

Sweet, sweet babies...Glad to see you, John, and many hugs

Hi John,

BAD to the BONE.... what little handfuls (read "treasures") Angel & Rocket are! I just wanted to kiss Angel's sweet little white tummy! They are both awesome, beyond cute!!! Thanks for the video!!!!

I can't believe it's been a year since your loss of your sweet Abigail. I think you & I first came to LS at around the same time, late in 2006, when I needed a shoulder when I first found out about my Peaches' illness & was trying to deal with all the decisions I had to make. Even though you were hurting so, you gave me your shoulder. You are truly a blessing John, you are one of the many people here that have been so good to me, and make me glad every day that I found this site. I'm very happy to hear that you're feeling better now and have 2 beautiful babies to love!
