On 3/30/07, a Friday afternoon, I had to say goodbye to the best cat & furry companion I could ever hope to share 13 wonderful years with. Peaches was my love. We had such a bond from the very beginning that just grew stronger as we both got older. I remember every moment of that day as if it were yesterday. She was so sick and couldn't go on anymore. She had intestinal lymphoma which we decided to treat with chemotherapy. I had hoped and prayed so hard for better results but it wasn't meant to be. She told me when it was time, one year ago today. It was the hardest thing I have ever done. My heart is still so full of her. I think of her everyday & can't imagine a day that I wouldn't.

I will always love her with all my heart. My sorrow goes out to all of you good people who know my pain. I wish you all peace.

As you think of Peaches on this 1 year anniversary I send you warm hugs and understanding. Losing such a love is so hard to cope with. We never forget all the joy and happiness they brought into our lives becaused they live forever in our hearts. Such a bond is never broken, even in death, as our furloves stole our hearts when we fell in love with them and they with us.

I feel so blessed to have had my Goliath. He brought so much meaning into my life. Our hearts were joined from the day we met and I think of him each and everyday many times over.

As you remember your little furlove, Peaches, may you bask in the beautiful memories you and she made together.

Peace, love, and comfort my friend.

I am so sorry for your loss. Peaches looks so pretty in your avatar picture.
I lost my Little Guy in Sept after 16 1/2 years. His twin, Keeper, was taken in January of 2002. He had lymphoma. He never showed symptoms until one day I notice he was running very far from the vacuum cleaner. He was taken to the vet, had lots of tests, etc and the diagnosis was lymphoma in both his lungs and each day the vet could tell it was getting harder for him to breathe, even though he acted normal through it all, eating and playing. It was a shock. My Little Guy was an emergency of not being able to breathe due to sudden fluid in his chest. Oh where does all this come from to attack these beautiful babies.

I know your pain. I have felt your bond with my babies. We can cry together as we share the pain. Maybe in time you can find some pictures of Peaches and post them. Pictures help the healing process, reminding us of the good, healthy, happy times and keep us from constantly dwelling on the sadness at the end.

Maybe tell us some stories of the things about her that were so special to you.
She will never leave you as she is a part of you and it may help to make you smile to share some happy memories with us.

Take Care and yes, there are many here who know exactly how you feel. You are not alone in that pain. or of missing her so much. That just never stops.

Hugs to you on such an anniversary. We are just never given enough time with them....that is the hard part...when they have to go. They do not want to and we don't want them to but fate or whatever makes it impossible for us to keep them longer.

Take Care and I wish you peace and healing.

Dear Kimm,
A year seems such a short time, doesn't it? It's been 20 months since Furry lost her battle, but I'm like you - every day she is the first thought in my mind & the last when I go to bed, & like you I can't see this ever changing.
I think that with you & Peaches, & with me & Furry, & with some other people & their "pet" there is an exceptional bond of love. I believe that Furry was the strongest love of my life, more than any human. That's what makes it so much worse that Peaches & Furry both were lost to us so young.
All we can do is try to remember that we were blessed with such a love.
Take care, Judith

Dear Kimm, already a year, I know how hard your year must have been and how easily the tears fall even today...I remember how courageous and strong you were, how you did everything humanely possible for Peaches. I know that your love is stronger every
day because love like that never dies. Know that Peaches and you are forever. Take care.

Thanks everyone. Your kind words have always been such a comfort to me. My heart breaks for everyone who has suffered the loss of such a good friend. One year passing does has not taken away ANY of the love I have for Peaches......the pain is still here but no longer so acute. Over time it's become somewhat easier to remember the wonderful, fun things about Peaches that made me love her so much, and not concentrate so much on her last day. Life is so much more enjoyable to think about !

I will be posting a tribute to Peaches soon, but first I want to re-train myself on posting photos so you all can see my sweet girl.

Thanks again. Take care, everyone.
