C.C., who is one of the ambassadors from the Bridge, softly makes her way over to you, and after waiting to be invited, jumps up next to you. Gazing up at you with her gentle green eyes, she offers you the post card she is carrying. On the front of the card is a picture of a brilliant green meadow brightly lit by an amazing rainbow that seems to radiate peace as it stretches across the sky. On the back of the card is a single paw print. As you take the card C.C. softly meows at you, trying to convey the message her new friend Alex has asked her to give to you. You did nothing wrong - you were trying to help him. But it was time for him to go even though he did not want to leave you. He is alive and well in a beautiful place, and he has lots of new friends who will keep him company until it is time for you to join him. After delivering the message and the card to you, C.C. snuggles up against you, trying to comfort you with her rumbling purr. Then she softly jumps down and takes a few steps before disappearing.* </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/23016/page/2#post-473901 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 18:51:16 +0000 CheetahBoysmommy 473901@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Oh Mary, I just found this post. I am so, so sorry your Alex left you. You did make all the right decisions, including the one to let him go to the bridge. </p> <p>What if you had taken him home after he was unblocked?, he would still have had heart disease and might have suffered more from it in just a few weeks. </p> <p>What if you had waited between getting him unblocked and scheduling the surgery?, he still would have reacted the same way to surgery and might have suffered between the unblocking, the surgery and the final trip. </p> <p>We have to be good parents for our babies even when it means our hearts break. You did the right thing. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/23016/page/2#post-473892 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 18:20:38 +0000 Mary 473892@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Thank you everyone for all of your kind words. It is so hard right now but I do know that he is not suffering anymore and I will see him along with my Snuggles, Samantha and Leo at the bridge when the time comes. These past 2 days, I have been questioning myself with all of the "what ifs"...what if I did not have the PU surgery done and just continued to have him unblocked when he would show signs of straining....what if I took him home after he unblocked and scheduled the surgery for a later date to let him settle down from the catheterization instead of surgery the very next day. What if .... we will never know, but I do know that my vet was very comforting in telling me that I made all the right decisions as a good mom, up to the very end and I love her for that.</p> <p>Thanks again everyone.... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/23016/page/2#post-472974 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 18:55:14 +0000 Catwoman 472974@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Mary, I am so sorry.
