Wonderful Tribute From Another Website, This should give us all hope Options

[Tony in Phoenix]

Copied from another website:

"I just wanted to thank everyone for their support. I am so glad a place like this exists for all of us who are suffering through this type of loss. It is truly a blessing to have had these wonderful animals in our lives- and even more wonderful that their spirits can bring us all together.
I have been going up and down the past two days. Since Thursday night, when I learned my Katy had passed, I've been vacillating between hysterical sobbing grief, laughter and joy over the memories of my special friend, denial, anger, and everything in between.
This morning, I was feeling down again. The tears were coming hard and fast, and I reached my absolute breaking point.
Then: I realized that if I stayed where I was, in that place of despair, I was letting the bad forces of the universe win. I will NOT let anything take her from me. She is never really gone if I keep her in my heart. if I dwell on the loss of her physical presence, I am denying myself the gift of her spirit which I have felt several times since her passing. She was not "taken" from me, as I initially thought. She is still here, our relationship still continues- just in a different form.
She was a blessing to my family during her life on the earth, and now she is an even greater blessing.
Now, she is my angel, and I know she's watching over me and my family.
Do I still wish I could hear her meowing away like crazy for attention? Wish I could see her, laying in the windowsill, with her little pink tongue hanging out of her mouth (her trademark expression- one that always got us chuckling). Yes. And I will probably never stop missing her physically. I'm only human.
But what really made her "Katy", the crazy little cat that brought me so much joy? It was her spirit- that intangible thing that makes us all who we are.
And that can never be taken away from me.
And in that thought, I can find some comfort.
I hope my rambling disjointed thoughts can help someone else right now who's going through this time of pain and grieving.
Take a deep breath, close your eyes, and listen: I garauntee you'll feel much better, because you'll realize your precious friend is still there. You just have to look a little harder than before.
May God, whomever he/she/it may be to you, bless you all.
Thank you. "
Incredibly inspiring if you ask me.
