I miss seeing your sweet gentle lovely face every day that made anything seem alright
I miss your sweet hello when I come home.
I miss feeling you padding down next to me when it is time to sleep
I miss you so much when I wake & you are not there & my heart sinks to the depths because your not there.
I miss the loving brush of your fur against my hand or leg
I miss the guide to the fridge when you wanted feeding
I miss taking care of your needs every day
I miss the cuddles & talks we had with cuddled up to me
I miss your purrs of happiness that made everything worth while
I miss your meows when thought I not doing something right
I miss stroking your sweet head to praise you & comfort you
I miss giving you a good ear rub & watching you enjoy it
I miss my supervisor when I cooked a meal to share with you
I miss watching in the garden sat there so still when you were looking for a treat
I miss nursing you when you became so ill
I miss the comfort you willingly gave when life outside felt so wrong
I miss my nurse who cared for us so well
I miss sharing with you the glory of the day
I miss finding you nesting in my underwear draw fast asleep
I miss your mischief when we had a play
I miss the small walks we had in the garden that was yours
I miss watching you walk in the garden to explore the flowers & the hedge rows
I miss your presence in the house you made a home
I miss your ginger fur strewn upon my carpet which I never minded
I miss combing your sweet soft ginger fur
I miss making you wanted & happy as well as needed
I miss you more than ever, you will never stop being part of our family
I miss you watching over you lying asleep with a snore next to the fireside made for you to bathe in its warmth
I miss you Simba beyond any words & ways which can be expressed from my broken heart & mind at Love's great sacrifice that was made that sad day the Good Lord called you to his side to part from mine.
I hope the Lord God will tell you this message from my heart & tell you the tears of love I shed for you thanking Him for bringing me to you in this earthly journey if only for less than 4 years since we met at the animal sanctuary. I thank God & you Simba for every single precious day you were here as part of the family not as a pet. In his kindness, I am hoping above all hopes you will let me know you are visiting me whilst I take each earthly step knowing that a wisp of wind is you & that we were worthy of your love & trust. I will live each day always holding you in my heart without you by my side that will bring me next to you to mend my broken heart which will be made whole again by you again & never to be parted again spend together in Eternity ***

What an extraordinary tribute to Simba, a truly extraordinary being.

Hi Greta's Mom
Thank you so much. Yes Simba was extraordinary as they all are, this site is testament to that by the people who were left behind by our loved ones.
kind regards

Hi Simba

Guess what? Monday is Rufus's birthday and there's going to be a big party for him up there. Hope you and your brothers and sisters and cousins and friends can come. In the Perfect World animal cake and ice cream never runs short and never makes anybody sick. Hope to see you there.

Gretta and Rufus's mom


(Gravessa, Just my way of grieving for Rufus, my beautiful half black lab/half Newfie who passed about two months ago when I was half a continent away taking care of a seriously ill relative. It hurts. You know that. Everyone here does, too.

How are you doing?)

Hi Greta's Mom,
So sorry I missed your very kind message for so long I hope you can forgive me. Its 7 months now & finding it so hard to cope without Simba we did everything together, we were only together just under 4 years from the rescue centre he meant the absolute world to me especially being on my own day in & day out in the middle of no where he made it bearable but not now there seems to be no point in anything now. Rufus like Simba where so special, they all are but some are extra special like ours. Like you I wish Simba would send me that special miracle which he knows what it is & hope the Good Lord above will listen.

I hope you are coping better than me
god bless

Simba is sooooo beautiful. I'm so sorry for your loss. My boys (Joe and Steve) passed 9 weeks ago this Wednesday and I miss them everyday. Your tribute to your sweet Simba was lovely.

Hope you're doing well.
