RIPPLES IN MY HEART

Photobucket

I hoped, I prayed and I tried my very best…
But you left with my most fearful enemy
none can avoid… DEATH!
Bringing you into the world with my bare hands
left many smiles and joy in my life…
Your every little moves and actions
made my life more meaningful…
Now what would happen to my faithful
alarm clock when you are no longer here?
Even your twin was not in best performance
ever since you left…
Twin connections… it’s not a myth!
My sea of calm and tranquil water
is now filled with ripples…
Ripples from the endless drops of tears…
and they never seem to be able to stop…
Each drop represents the love I had for you…
It’s for eternity…

R.I.P.P.L.E.S.
Rest In Peace… Pretty Lady… Eternally… Sorrowlessly…

  1. OMG! Criz, I'm sooo sorry! This is the first time for me that a cat I've known in the blogosphere has gone to rainbow bridge, and I'm devastated. I can only imagine how you're feeling.
    I remember reading about when beautiful Joey got that eye infection, and feeling really upset for you then and reading about how you cared for her. Truly, a cat could not dream for a better daddy…
    I'll pray that good things happen for a while, as God knows, you deserve it!

  2. Criz we are all so sorry that Joey did not make it. We know how hard you tried to save her with tender nursing care and love. Be assured that the brief time Joey was on this earth, she had a good life, knowing she was loved and safe with you. No cat could ask for more.

    We send rumbly purrs and love to you and the J Gang.

  32. Joey must have been a very special cat indeed. It is hard to go through this; I have lost more than one cat in bad situations and it is always heartbreaking. Cio cio was so special, she died in 1996 but I still think of her often. Sometimes I still shed a tear for her too, but the pain is not so harsh now.

    Your ripple post is poignant and I hope you heal soon. Blessings.

  33. Hi, This is a wonderful blog. I'm very sorry to hear about Joey. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Our two dogs passed away last year. It's never an easy transition.

If you like what you see, please spread the word to other pet lovers 🙂 Thank you for your help!!!

  34. How did I get to see this so late? My heart bleeds. I am so sorry over Joey death. May you and your other kids be consoled. Rest in peace Joey
