Missing you with
A broken heart
My sweet girl
Always remember that I love you
Knowing you has been a pleasure
I still remember
The day we met eleven years ago
Today and forever you will be in my thoughts
You will not be forgotten.
Mama Kitty
(Today’s scheduled post has been moved to Monday.) I’ve known that this day was coming since last summer, but I didn’t expect it to be so soon. The vet told me after removing six tumors that it was most likely cancer and that it had spread. For the past few weeks, I could tell that my darling Mama Kitty wasn’t feeling as well and that she was weaker. Last night, she passed away peacefully in her sleep.
For those of you who have been keeping up with life updates, this is the third beloved cat that I’ve lost this year. (Rabbit and Radar died in January.) I realize that my little babies are getting older and I knew that I’d most likely outlive my precious pets, but I didn’t expect to lose three in such a short time.
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. (Matthew 5:4)
God is such a comforter during times like these! I don’t know what I’d do without Him.
I don’t know how active I’ll be on WordPress this weekend, but you’ll have a new post on Monday. Love you guys! ❤

Losing a pet is hard. My friend lost a dog, his most faithful companion of 10 years, and his grieving has really taken a toll on him. But he is doing better, and I pray you are as well. My prayers are with you!

I am so sorry. Earlier this week, we lost our cat for just one night. 😢The house was so quiet, I did not realize how much she meant to us, until we thought we had lost her. We found her the nest day, praise the Lord!

We can learn so much from our pets, unconditional love, patience, playfulness, to name just a few. We have two minature pinchers who try our patience at times and then they cuddle up on my lap and all is well. I am, indeed, sorry for your loss. And it is true that the depth of your love is reflected in the anguish at the loss.

Haha… thank you! When I was working, we had an interesting meeting on reading. We were given a piece of writing and it was a timed reading. As we read, the message was inserted with nonsense words. we read as fast as we could and ignore all the nonsense words. The speaker was trying to say that we have the ability to make sense of what we read…also we “don’t have to read every word!” What do you think? 🙂

Mommy Kitty had a great life with you Grace. Praying for you as you have to deal with all the feelings and thoughts about your loss. I hope you can find your way back to a little bit of normal because your confidence is focused on the true love who will never leave or forsake you. In all these troubles we are more than conquerors in Christ Jesus. You are not the pain you feel now, you are a adopted child of the King of Kings. Grieve well Grace you are being prayed for.

So sorry to hear about this Grace. 😦 We love our cats almost more than human beings and it’s so tough when they pass. I know though that God is certainly watching over you and your babies. ❤ My heart goes out to you. If there is a silver lining it's the fact that your fur babies have had a chance to live out their lives with such a wonderful, loving Mama. ❤ Please take care and know I am thinking of you and certainly keeping you in my prayers. God Bless friend. ❤

Oh no!! 😩 I am so sorry. I will pray for you now, my friend. Such a deep season of loss for you! My heart breaks for you, but even in this time, may you sense the presence and peace of the Lord. He’ll never let you down!
By the way, I feel like God is really demonstrating His presence to you through your photos. Such beautiful flowers and plants all around you!
