Merry Christmas Bogus and Cloud 2010
Dec 24, 2010
Can't believe it's Christmas again already.
Where has the time gone so fast?
Here it is now 7 years later my beloved
Khan. Hard to believe that 7 years have
slipped by so fast since you left this
world. Thank you for giving my heart
back to me. I have been so lost and lonely
for all this time until the morning I woke
up and knew without a doubt that I was
whole again inside. And thank you for
watching over my precious Babygirl.
What an unbelievable blessing and
comfort she has turned out to be to me.
Always thinking of you there at the
Rainbow Bridge waiting patiently for me,
looking after Cloud, your mom, brothers
and even poor little Patches who is restored
to full health and playing joyfully at the
Bridge. Poor little guy, I'm so sorry I
could not save him, but he was just too
far gone. I tried, I really tried, but in the end
all I could do was offer him food, water,
and shelter until he was called home.
Are you still chasing that nasty old red
squirrel? Hope so, cause it serves him
right for humiliating you like he did.
Hope you even get a chance to bite him
on the tail just to get even. Take care my
beloved, one day I will see you again.
For tonight I will light the white candle
and play your song in rememberance.
Cloud my sweet furangel,
Tonight marks 2 years and 2 months
since your untimely passing from this
world. Sweetheart I miss you as we all
do, and I am so sorry about the way you
left this world. To the day I die, I will
always wish that I could have been with
you during you last moments. I can't help
it that's the way I feel. It's just not fair
that I was able to be with my beloved
Khan, and even able to see Patches off
from this world, but not able to be
with our darling Cloud when it was his
time to leave this world. Just not fair!
But thank you with all my heart for the
4+ years of joy, comfort, love, and
laughter that you brought to us.
Please continue to keep Patches company
and help Khan do his job there at the
Bridge as you both wait paitently for us
to join you at the Bridge when our times
come. In the meantime, I will light your
candle, play your song, and drink a cup of
hot cocoa to you both in rememberance.
I love you I love you I love you
Your everloving human Mom

Tomorrow marks 7 years now
Oct 3, 2010
My beloved Khan,
Tomorrow marks 7 years since
you left this world and crossed
over to the beautiful Rainbow
Bridge. Even so, I still miss you
something awful. Does not matter
that it's been 7 years, it still hurts,
and I still miss you. I always will
sweetheart. But I know that you
are young, strong, healthy, and
whole again, just as I remember
you at the peak of your youth,
glory, strength, and beauty.
There at the Bridge looking after
your brothers, Bugsy, Willow, and
Bouger. And our adorable Cloud.
All of his human family still misses
him dreadfully, but then you and he
both know that. And so do the kitties.
It's hard to even say his name around
Seven and Claw and Fire espically.
But I know that you both know that
too.
I just want to say thank you for 12+
wonderful years of love, loyalty, and
lessons that you taught me. as well
as memories that I will cherish in
my heart and mind till the day I draw
my last breath. And the special final
lesson that you taught me in your
passing. That the very essence of
who you were, and will always be
did not go into a great nothingness.
That the Rainbow Bridge is a real
place and that the silver cord of
love can not ever be broken.
My two most favorite
memories of you are the long trip
from California to Missouri, and
the tangle with that nasty old red
squirral. Are you still chasing him
around there at the Bridge? I hope
so because it would serve him right
for humiliating you like he did.
I will be playing your special song
tomorrow and the 5th, as well as
lighting a white candle of pure love
to remember you by. I will never
forget....
Until we meet again my friend.........
Your loving human Mom

New Year's Eve at Rainbow Bridge
Dec 31, 2009
The old year has wound down to
a close.The new year is fast
approaching and waves of excitement
wash over the bridgekids at the
Rainbow Bridge. It is also a time
for reflecting and some sadness,
as each bridgekid looks back upon,
and remembers the past year. For those
who are waiting for their special person,
it is espically sweet and sad, but at the
same time, also exciting to see how
things will be going for their special
loved one.
Bogus and Cloud announce to every
one to gather together to ring in the
new year as the very air starts to
sparkle with all the colors of the
rainbow. All the bridgekids gather
together and form a great circle,
just as all the angels gather together.
And finally the Bridgekeeper appears.
In the most soft and tender voice
ever heard, he tells all the bridge
kids to continue to wait patiently
for their loved ones. For the ones
who have no special person to wait
for, he gently reminds them to wait
for the rescuer who delivered them
from a life of misery and pain.
And for the ones who were starved,
neglected, beaten and abused, he
kindly reminds them to continue to
wait for the special person who they
never got to meet in their earthly life.
The angels flit about giving out love
and comfort where it is needed.
As the midnight hour approaches,
the Bridgekeeper gives a white
candle to each and every one of
the Bridgekids, to be lit at the
exact hour of midnight. As the last
10 seconds of the old year draw to
a close, all the Bridgekids, the angels
and the Bridgekeeper count down
from 10, 9, 8, 7 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and
ONE! As in a chorus of welcome
and love the Rainbow Bridge ripples
at the cry of "Happy New Year!"
and the candles are lit, lighting up
the Rainbow Bridge with a white
light of unearthly beauty. As in one
voice, the BridgeKids sing out to
their loved ones, "I love you , I love
you, I love you.......

Merry Christmas Babygirl 2009
Dec 23, 2009
I have given full honor and respect
to my beloved Khan of 12+ years,
but sweet girl it is now time to
give full honor and respect to the
little gray kitty who had a big part
in saving my life back in August
of this year.
Little girl, without you, there is
a very good chance that I would
not even be here to write this
tribute to you which you so well
deserve. When I was forced to take
to my bed becausse I thought I was
suffering something else, and in
such pain, you were right there with
me every second. If I got up to go to
the bathroom, you followed me. You
refused to leave me alone for one
second while in there, you followed
me back out to my bed, you jumped
up on the bed and placed your warm
little body right over the affected
area and refused to go anywhere
or do anything other than to get
down long enough to grab a bite
to eat and to do your personal
business in your litterbox. And when
it became very obvious that I had
to go to the hospital, I remember you
put your ears back and howled as
if your heart was breaking.How that
ripped at my heart, because I could
tell that you knew something was
very wrong with me. Well Little
Fur Angel, I did go to the hospital
by ambulance, and it turned out that
if I had not, I would have died. The
doctors rushed me into emergency
surgery as quick as they could.
The recovery period was painful
and slow, and it's taken 4 and 1/2
months for me to get to where I can
walk short distances again and
start regaining my health, but if you
had not been there with me at the
time I needed you the most, I would
not be here today.
So I want to say thank you to my
LIVING fur angel, that I get to
see 2 weekends a month. Two
weekends that are special to me
because I get to hold you, love you
and cuddle you for hours on end
until it's time for you to go back
home to your kitty family. Where
it is a safer place for you to live
right now until I can find a place
for me to move to that would be safer
for me to have you on a more
permanent basis.
I am sorry that I did not get to
spend these past 2 weekends with
you, but I have just been so very
busy getting ready for Christmas
and getting all my gift baskets
out to everyone on my gift list.
But I will see you Christmas Day
and make it a point to spend some
special time with you. And I will
be looking forward to spending
the 1st weekend of the new year
with you. I expect it will be cold
so there will be plenty of time
to cuddle and keep each other warm.
Until I see you again....
I Love You I Love You I Love You
Your loving human mother
