One Year Ago

Mom Here:

One year ago today my little girl Bianca, aka Admiral flew away to the Rainbow Bridge and joined her furriends who were waiting for her and the ones who came before her.  Hopping John, Katy,  Jack, Ex-Calibur, Blackie, Smokey, and certainly Robin, the cat matriarch of the family.

When she, Admiral, flew away she took my heart with her.  To this minute I still tear up if I look at her things that I laid away.  Her sweet catnip quilt that Ms Stella's mommy made.  She was wrapped in it and held closely by me when she departed and that with some beautiful cream furs and some gray ones and chocolate ones and some curly whiskers too are in a clear bag together with her footie print.  I can't bear to look at them yet but her ashes are on the dresser in my room where she roosted many times.  I always greet her with a good morning and so does Katie, Kathryn Isabella who was chosen for me.  You may remember that sweet story.  Katie sits up there too, next to Admiral's cask.

I wanted to commemorate the one year anniversary.  I wondered if I would have eyes left in my head I cried so much but you furriends all came together as you always do, and supported me.  I am forever grateful for the care, loves and support from you, mine and her furriends.  And now Katie too has your care, love and furriendship.

We are grateful.  Thank you all for the way you reached out that sad woebegone day.  I won't forget it.

We remember the beautiful Admiral and the great sadness in the Blogosphere when she crossed to the Bridge. She touched so many people's hearts. She will be with you forever.

Purrs to you. Admiral did for you what Sweet Praline did for me. She sent another kitty to you to help ease the pain in your heart and to make each of these anniversaries a little easier to bear.

It's still sad to remember the Admiral's passing. This is such a lovely remembrance for her. The photo is precious of her and Katie. Even though it's been a year, I know it was like yesterday to you. I hope today will be better for you.

Quill and Greyson said...

Big hug to you!

Just Mags said...

Leaving you lots of hugs and nose kisses. We will never forget sweet Admiral. She was a very special sweetie.

The J-Cats said...

I am crying too.How quickly time passes by! Who would have thought that it was already a year? Just a few days separated the passing of your lovely Admiral and my sweet Pixie. Now they are playing together at the Bridge, and my precious Possum is with them too. And they are looking down and watching over us, my dear friend, until we all meet again at the Rainbow's End. Of that, you can be sure.

Sorry we missed this post. WE truly miss the Admiral too and know that you are very sad. But she is watching over you and Katie and your sons. Take care.

Cathy Keisha said...

I'm just now reading this cos when Pop was home I wasn't on the computer much. I can remember that day cos TW was out and when she got home Pop was standing there and he was crying. He told TW about sweet Admiral and they both cried. I never had seen Pop cry before so you know how special Admiral was to everybody.

Oh how you do make me cry. I know what you are going through. Its just so hard when we lose a sweet furbaby. I loved your sweet Admiral. My heart aches for you. I've missed everyone too. I've been sick. Going through alot of life changes right now and its been really hard. Have alot of doctor appts in the next month. Hopefully they can give me somethigng that will help. Black cohosh is helping only a little. Thank you so much for your friendship. Hope all is well with you.

Admiral sweetheart, I miss you very much and I want you to know I will love Katie Isabella and take very good care of her. When we are snuggled in the hammock, we look up to the clear night sky and see the twinkling stars, we know you are watching over us. <3 <3 <3

Much love, Boomie
