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...

OnAMission, your Mission is a beautiful Tux kitty boy! Love that mustache! And he looks so handsome in his tux with the white bib. Your memorial garden sounds very beautiful. Doing something like this can be therapy, very soothing.
