Sara has died

Feb 08, 2009 12:15

The cat in my LJ Icon in this image died on Friday, Feb 6th, 2009. We've been bawling for days, and we're still remembering so many more things that made Sara such a special cat. There are so many stories, and she was such a wonderful kitty. Isis made this LJ post for me a couple years ago, when Sara was only 2 ( Read more... )

*hugs tight* They can be with us for such a short time, yet they mean SO MUCH to us. I'm so glad she was able to touch your life, and you hers.

Sleep well and peace to you, Sara.

Once in a while I wonder if it's a realistic level of sadness. I mean, friends of mine have died, and I cried less. But I haven't had a -close- friend of several years die, and frankly, none of them lived in my house.

I've had to remind myself that I'm not thinking of a cat as worth more than a person, it's just that this cat lived with me, sat with me, played with me, walked with me, watched over me, called to me for help and attention... Isis said I she got Sara for me 'cause I needed her. Yes I did.

Since the ground was frozen, we made a brick and earth burial mound and buried her with a small bell-in-ball toy that she played with in her last days and a laser-pointer pen that she absolutely went bonkers for.

*hugs* Thank you.

I am SO SORRY to hear this *also hugs tight* They impact us so deeply and I'm glad you have such fond memories of her to carry on. They hurt so much for awhile but it's those things that will always make her stand out.

If you ever need someone to talk to I'm here.
Peace and safe travels, Sara.

I saw yours and Bird's posts as soon as you posted them, but I couldn't bring myself to log into LJ. I'm just coming back out of my shell. I didn't want anyone to think I didn't see the replies, but I just didn't know what to say.

Now I do. Thank you. *hugs*

I'm finally starting to get back to work. Putting one foot in front of the other is helpful, but since Sara was so much a part of my shop makes it difficult to occupy my mind with the shop.
