Goodbye, dear friend

Hi Indy,

Your story of Sophie touched me deeply. There will always be saddness when our beloved fur babies go.

She came into your life for obvious reasons, to give you company, to chase away the lonliness, to love you unconditionally, to give you happiness. She did this for 14 wonderful years and in return you gave her a wonderful warm and loving home.

14 years is a respectable long life for a kitty. She did quite well. Life is strange sometimes. You didn't go on your ride and instead spent the time with Sophie. The final days and hours. You returned her kindness and love for all these years by being next to her and she left earth knowing that you were at her side for eternity. She will always have that memory. And you were able to say your final good bye. You did the right thing.

peace be with you and Sophie,

Sincerely,
smilingcat

(((Indy))). I know you loved her!

"I pray to God I did right by her. ..."
You did. You were her loving family for 14 years, and cared for her when she was her feisty self and when she was ill. Lots of potentially loving dogs and cats live and die in the gutter with no one. She was lucky and I am sure she knew it.

My thoughts and prayers with you in this difficult time...

Thank you for that tzvia; I needed that.

Thanks to all of you for your kindness and support. I'm truly grateful.

Just saw this. I'm sorry for your loss.

Indie, I have tried to post a reply but couldn't see the computer screen through the tears....It's so hard to lose a precious family member. Sophie tried so hard to be with you for as long as she could. Her little body soon grew too tired to work right anymore and she was gently carried away. She took a little piece of your heart with her but left you snapshots of the better times you shared together to bring comfort to you in the darkest hour. When the time is right Sophie will send another one into your life. She will not want you to mourn for her but will want you to embrace the good things in life. Tonight when I look into the skies I will look for her star. She will be the brightest one.

I am a pet own and have lost a few animals, but one in particular was such a sweetie and I was close to her.
I am sorry for your loss.
