Blessings for precious Bones.</p> <p>A friend of mine is now dealing with the passing of her mother (just shortly after my mother) and she was reading a book about life after life; she said to me there is something here about 'animals in heaven' you might want to read.....<br /> I told her I don't need to read that because I know for sure that regardless of what happens to us, if there is a heaven, our animals will be there, where they belong....</p> <p>And, I, too, lit a candle for Bones here<br /> <a href="http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/message.cfm?l=eng&#38;cid=8768521" rel="nofollow">http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/message.cfm?l=eng&#38;cid=8768521</a> </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18773/page/2#post-412641 Sun, 12 Jul 2009 21:59:51 +0000 feral 412641@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>{{{BONES}}} P;ease say Meow to my Julie at the bridge when you see her.

The words of my littermates here outshine anything I could ever compose. You know the depth of my sympathy, and I hope you will express it to your mother. </p> <p>You know, I didn't really believe that our kitties went to heaven before I came to TDK, I despaired of ever seeing them again. The reassurances of The Believers here have changed my mind and expanded my heart. I wish I were there so I could give you a huge, warm hug and do my best to make it better. 20 years! He must have loved you so! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18773/page/2#post-411387 Fri, 10 Jul 2009 05:25:41 +0000 metsa 411387@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>So so sorry to hear about this, Bones was a wonderful cat and very well loved. I am so glad though that you had the chance to help him at the end and be with him. I hope the many happy memories of him will help you through, but I know how very hard it is just now.

I am so sorry for both you and your mother. At 20 years, Bones was a beloved family member. And now he is a beloved member of another family in Heaven. RIP, sweet baby. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18773/page/2#post-411318 Fri, 10 Jul 2009 00:25:18 +0000 jcat 411318@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>MCW and MCW's Mum, I'm so, so sorry to hear about Bones. He must have loved you very much and enjoyed the most wonderful, cherished life to stay with you for 20 years; that's a great age for a beloved cat. He is at rest, now, and he passed from this life surrounded by love and concern and grief. I hope we will all be so lucky. {{{HUGS}}} to you both. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18773/page/2#post-411314 Thu, 09 Jul 2009 23:42:25 +0000 Nirmal 411314@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>i will tell my georgie to take good care of u up there and to watch over ur mum! and white light and prayers to u guys! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18773/page/2#post-411245 Thu, 09 Jul 2009 19:18:17 +0000 Cats4Cats 411245@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Oh, I'm sorry about you and your mom's loss. {{{Hugs}}} </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18773/page/2#post-411231 Thu, 09 Jul 2009 19:11:39 +0000 GizzysAuntie 411231@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>How sad to see that Bones' transition has come. I'm sure my big, dignified Sam was there with all the others to greet him and show him the best patches of sunlight and the deepest grass to roll in. Rest knowing that you did the best you could for your beloved friend. I agree with Paulajeanne, it is a blessing to depart in a familiar place with beloved faces around you. Would that we humans had that option more often ourselves. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18773/page/2#post-411176 Thu, 09 Jul 2009 17:25:46 +0000 paulajeanne 411176@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hugs for you and Mum, MCW. How blessed to be able to pass in the comfort of your home, surrounded by loved ones. Rest in Peace. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18773/page/2#post-411174 Thu, 09 Jul 2009 17:14:04 +0000 AZDEBRA 5/27 & crew 411174@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Blessings to you and your Mum, Bones was well loved and he loved in return. He was surely met by a horde of others who had crossed before, all those name above and my Kinker was there also. He will be watching as well as the others do of those they left on this earthly plane, Godspeed Bones and peace be with you my friend. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18773/page/2#post-411170 Thu, 09 Jul 2009 17:07:09 +0000 Puddytat 411170@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>MCW,<br /> Forgot to tell you that we lit candles from all of us. Sweet Bones.....Rest in Peace. My little Shih Tzu Sophie was waiting for you at the bridge. She loves kitties! She is the white one with brindle ears. Don't be afraid Bones, she loves to kiss kitties and curl up for naps with kitties! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18773/page/2#post-411166 Thu, 09 Jul 2009 17:03:06 +0000 Puddytat 411166@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>MCW &#38; Mum,<br /> Can you feel the big Texas hugs and the sweet tears for you both? Bones was so lucky to have so much love and such brave women to watch after him. I admire your courage, sensitivity and kind hearts. I am sending healing thoughts, love, hugs, prayers and blessings to you. Wilbur and T-Do are sitting here with me and I hope that you know how much we are thinking of you and your loss. I will hug them more and be thankful for the time I have with them. You have set a wonderful example of loving care. I will be thinking of you and Mum this evening. I plan on making a donation to the Community Care division of the vet school in sweet Bone's name. Hope you don't mind. Love to you. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18773/page/2#post-411162 Thu, 09 Jul 2009 16:46:39 +0000 Lynne 411162@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Twenty years of love.

Candle lit for Bones, to light his way to the Bridge. May he play and rest in peace. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18773/page/2#post-411157 Thu, 09 Jul 2009 16:18:08 +0000 Rubia in CA, 4/28 411157@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I am so sad to hear of Bone's passing. My condolences to you, MCW and to your mum. I hope that it helps knowing that he had a good, long life, and that he knew that he was much loved by you and your mum. It is good to know that now he is at the Bridge, young and healthy again, and playing with all the other kitties who have gone ahead. {{{MCW &#38; Mum}}} </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18773/page/2#post-411146 Thu, 09 Jul 2009 15:41:02 +0000 GreatDane 411146@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>So sad to hear about Bones passing, I've got tears in my eyes.<br /> Godspeed, little Bones, may you rest in peace. You were loved dearly and will be missed. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18773/page/2#post-411068 Thu, 09 Jul 2009 14:30:50 +0000 mollycat71 411068@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I was so terribly sad to read the passing of Bones has come. Bones was so blessed to have you and mum as his caretakers on his earthly journey. I can only imagine how many of our TDK kitties at the bridge came running to greet him. They are all running thru fields of catnip and clover, not a care or pain in this afterlife. I am sure he is looking down on you and mum and wishing you wouldn't hurt or be sad. I pray that the pain will lessen and you will smile with good thoughts and stories of our dear elderly TDK "kitty", Bones! Hugs and prayers to you and mum! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18773/page/2#post-411066 Thu, 09 Jul 2009 14:27:28 +0000 SylMiaFelixMomma 411066@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>MS, I love that poem. So beautiful. Whiskers greets Bones along with all the other kitties offering to show him the best places to try to catch butterflies and eat tender catnip.

Bones' former owner had him from a kitten, had rescued him as "a bag of bones of a kitten" - and the name stuck. He had recently remarried &#38; his new wife was severley allergic, so Bones came into Mum's life. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18773/page/2#post-411033 Thu, 09 Jul 2009 13:30:39 +0000 Vicki 411033@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I lit a candle for Bones, too.
