Two Months Today, Moustache, I miss you so much buddy Options

[Moose Mom]

My Moustache

Two months ago today you went away. It was such a shock and still is. I am learning to accept that you are gone even though I didn't want to, and it is a little eaiser somedays. I can't believe we haven't seen you in two months, we never left you for a whole day in 10 years.

I miss you so much buddy. I miss how good you smelled, how you talked all the time, your sweet little face, your beautiful long tail, the 'racing stripes' on your back legs', your little white front paws, just everything.

I still listen in case you had to puke. I still do "puke patrol" looking to see if you had a problem that I didn't hear or catch. It's silly but I miss it. I miss talking care of you and washing your cute face and cleaning up after you vomited.

We watched your video last night, the one when you were three months old and it was your very first Christmas, OMG you were so cute! I forget how little you were, and how wild. It's such a treasure we have it, even if it made me cry. Poor baby, sick even then.

I'm so sorry you went, mommy was willing to take care of you forever. Cleaning up after you was not a burden. Making sure anything I bought could be washed was just what I did. Piff I still do it. Ten years was just not enough, but I guess 100 years wouldn't have been.

Merry Christmas wherever you are my love.
Mommy will love you forever buddy.

Thanks so much. You know I said Chase's name and thought of her cute face.

Renee

Thank you so much, for your very kind words and for the idea of the ceremony. Of course I said Sox's name and we talked about tuxedo kitties. We talked a bit about Sox, Schtoobing, and Moustache and how much we love tuxedo kitties.

Love

Lori,
What a moving tribute to your baby!! I know you shared so much with him and that the anniversaries are painful. It'll get better as time goes on.
When you share so much with a pet, it's close to a human relationship, though it tends to go a little deeper in spots. When that pet dies, a void is left, and it's so confusing and painful. The pain does lessen but the memories help buffer it. Remember all of the good times, not the final, painful ones. Dig out all of the"baby pictures" and think of all of the fun you had seeing your baby grow from a precocious kitten into a gorgeous cat. All his likes and dislikes, the little quirks. Things that annoyed you! Things that made you love and appreciate him.
It's the little things that mean so much.

I read Precious and Tigger's names at my candle lighting, and thought of you. I'm so happy you have Patches now.

The little things do mean so much. The video we have is so darned cute! He was so little and his eyes were crossed, dang. It made me cry and laugh. I was thinking how blessed we were to have him all but 2 months of his whole life. He only weighed 1 1/2 pounds when we got him. The communtiy we live in and he lived in for all of his 10 years put a wonderful memorial in it's newsletter for him.

Love
Lori
