Going Home, My Tribute Options

[OnAMission]

I justs finished reading the book, Going Home: Finding Peace When Pets Die, by Jon Katz. It was a great read, but honestly, I left so many teardrops all over the pages of this book.


This was given to me as a gift from a good friend after the death of my beloved cat, Mission, on March 11, 2014. She understood the depth of my grief and presented me with this book to try to help me wade through all the emotions evoked from losing a beloved pet.

I just now finished a eulogy that I wrote from the heart...with very little pause, on the front page of the book. It goes as this:

In memory of my beloved Mission, my eternal earth angel.

You came to me on a mission to help heal my grief, and left on a mission, when your time came - March 11, 2014.

I will love you and cherish you forever in eternity and will hold you close to my broken heart until I die.

Until we meet again, my angel, my butterfly boy...at the Rainbow Bridge.

Fly on now, my Mission...and do what you do best - bring Joy and Hope.

Your ever-loving earth mom...

Thanks so very much Moonbeam and Tom's Dad! Been having one of those sad days, today. Though I did get more pics printed out of him and purchased a nice pot for his "memorial" cypress tree fantasy garden. (I will try to take and upload a pic of that, too soon.) I am just so sad and numb and missing him SOOOO very much.

But, I have to share this with you...Something kind of weird happened today, too. Another one of my cats, Miner - a big solid black cat, (who was buds with Mission for a while) must have snuck into my room...Mission's room. I had no idea he had come in there after me and when I left out of the room, I just closed the door.

I went out for a while and when I came back and into the room, Miner came running out in a panic like he'd "seen a ghost"! LOL I think he must have been visited by Mission's spirit...because some of the cards & photo albums and Mission's Cat Fancy calendar that were set up as a memorial on the vanity were all knocked over and helter-skelter...??

peace and blessings...

Sorry to hear you're having a sad/bad day. I totally relate. It really does seem to "come in waves" as people have said, huh? So I for sure feel your pain.

Oh yes! I'd love to see a picture of the memorial cypress tree fantasy garden, if you feel so inclined to share, but no hurry/pressure! I've really enjoyed seeing your other pics of Mission also. - Molly's mom
