Today would have been Minchie's 14th birthday. Very sad day for us. Last Saturday was also a month ago that he ran away to The Bridge. Mom is still very heartbroken over his loss and doesn't know if she will ever get over this. Where ever Mom was, he was. I miss my brother too and it's very comforting that we have each other.
Oh, Laila...our purrs and hugs to you both as you remember this bittersweet day. We don't think anyone ever "gets over" losses like this. We only get used to the absence of the loved one, though that can take a very long time. ♥
ReplyDeleteSending hugs and purrs to your both. It's a pain that no one else really understands.
ReplyDeleteMum sends hugs to you as she knows you are missing your boy. She still gets misty eyed over Derby at times. Well, except she doesn't miss having to clean up his yak spots! MOL!
ReplyDeleteSending you both hugs as you remember sweet Minchie. XO
ReplyDeleteHeadbumpies from Gemini and snorgle permission from Ichiro. It is still a shock to see the remembering Minchie. Hugs to you from the woman-
ReplyDeleteI've thought about that phrase that is used often with loss..."getting over" it. You never do. It stays with you and becomes a part of that inner wall we hardly show anyone. Over time it softens, what was once loud in our ear becomes muffled, but at the smallest thing it can become a torrent of emotion. Days of special significance will always be hard. My thoughts are with you.
ReplyDeleteWe're sending lots of healing purrs and hugs your way. We hope your mom can find solace in her many wonderful memories, and in the pawprints he left on her heart.
ReplyDeleteLOTS of purrs to you today. <333
ReplyDeleteHappy Heavenly Birthday you very, very special Angel Boy!
ReplyDeleteTo your Mom, sharing your heartache ... he'll always be with you no matter how much time goes by, just know all is now well for him.
I have very leaky eyes seeing her with that dear heart.
ReplyDeleteAs with the rest of us here, I understand fully. I felt that same emptiness when Admiral ran away to the Bridge and if Katie leaves me, I will be bereft. No one but someone who loves their fur companions as much as the family they are, will understand our grief. In the CB, we can find understanding. XXX
Hugs and love to you and Laila. Wish I were there to help in any way.
ReplyDeletePurrs and hugs to you today. Purrs
ReplyDeletelaila; it's ok to be sad; I understand how much you miss your brother and how much your mom misses minchie....it's going to take time; we hope you know that minchie is always in your heart and always will be and that he loves you both very much also ~~~~ big hugs from dai$y ~~~~~ and tuna as well ♥♥♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteWe miss him too. Purrs....
ReplyDeleteLosing a precious kitty companion is a loss you never get over. Purrs to you both...
ReplyDeleteMinchie is no longer where you can pet him or cuddle with him, but he will always be in your hearts.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you both! I'm so glad your mom has you, Laila. I know how very hard and sad it is to lose a precious kitty.
ReplyDeleteWe'll never forget you, Angel Minchie. Our sister Sunny used to do the same with our Mom. Thank you for your kinds words today over our loss of sweet Sunny. We very much appreciate them and know that her spirit does as well.
ReplyDeleteWe are so sorry. Sending love to your mom.
ReplyDeleteI am sooo sorry that I missed this. Oh God I soo know how you feel. My Angel Bobo was a Cancer, like Minchie, Bobo was also everywhere I was. When he passed I thought I would die. It STILL hurts....you WILL do better, but the pain will always be there, it just lives in a more gentle place in your heart. I am so deeply, deeply sorry. I lost my Angel Bobo the day after his 18th birthday (he was born on July 1), I sooo understand (((hugs)))
ReplyDeleteSpecial days are the hardest, especially when the pain is still so raw. The pain lives with us forever. It softens with time but never goes, just lying beneath the surface waiting for a memory to make it bubble up again. The pain shows how strongly we have loved, but the memories are left for us to keep in our hearts. Hugs to you.
