Well, I did take Thur and Fri off from work, but I did it because I'm so physically sick. It almost works in reverse since the phone rang off the wall, but at least I didn't have to actually talk. It's really true that if you empty your own resources, you have nothing to give others. I've decided I'm going to screen my calls...just for a little while, I think...I can't talk to another soul who's already forgotten about Friday, March 13. Thank you all for giving me permission to do that.
I don't wonder...I KNOW that part of why I can't shake this crud is the shock to my mind/body. And you know, just when I think I've moved on from the incident itself and have traveled to a place where I'm just grieving the loss, that horrible picture leaps into my head again. I guess I should expect that for a while.
Thank you every body. I can't believe I came to TDK with this exact same tragedy this same time last year. And here you are again, holding me together. Bless you all. You are the family I chose!

So sorry about all this Lisa, I really know the pain you're going through. I still think about my Sultan every day and it's been over 5 months. I also still cry for him quite often, and anything can prompt me unexpectedly. And it hurts like a hot knife every time I think about it, although I can have some happy memories too. I don't know if its normal, to other non cat people, but its certainly to me perfectly normal. I loved Sultie heart and soul, like you loved Tex, and I will mourn him until I'm with him again. But I do have faith that it will get easier over time, at least I hope it will. ((hugs))

*A large furry calico makes her way through the wormhole. In her mouth, she is carrying postcard. On the card there is a single paw print against a bright background showing a rainbow over a beautiful green meadow.
C.C. jumps up on Lisa's table and places the postcard where Lisa will see it, then softly jumps down and makes her way back through the wormhole to let her friend Tex know that she has delivered his card.*

Oh, thank you, Postmistress CC!! This is the greatest of blessings!
I needed to hear from Tex directly! I'm so glad to know he's happy and making friends. I'm certain all the TDK kits will have a magical way to find each other on the other side. I hope they're all banded together, gossiping about their silly owners, and waiting for us, the same way we miss them.
If anyone else hears from Tex, please forward the contact right away, no matter how insignificant the incident pay seem at the time. It will be huge to me.
And everyone with furbabies already in heaven...remember last April I sent my big, strong, protective Bob to watch over all the tiny, weak, or homesick arrivals. I trust him to do his job well. I miss them both so much.

Jiggs has taken quite a shine to Tex! I never did a Catster page for the boys, so Huddy's Mama gave me the wonderful gift of making a page for Jiggs after he went to The Bridge. So apparently Jiggs sees himself as a Texan of sorts, even though he never left NJ! (I have this vision of the two of them finding a patch of wild catnip!) I miss my gentle giant terribly, but I am glad he has found new friends and I await the day when I see him again.

Continued hugs your way! I know your babies are visiting with all our babies! They have become fast friends and are a big happy group playing in the sunshine and catnip fields. They know one day we will all be together again. I know that too!

i'm sure tex and kizzykat and all the other kitties are playing in the warm sun chasing butterflys and bob is watching over them. they are talking about how much they love and miss us but will be happy to see us someday soon. when i get sad this is the scene i picture for kizzy. see i still cry over her loss... but she's with us and comes to visit me ... and tex and all the other kitties over the bridge are there.. no more pain , sickness or suffering. tex will come to see you in your dreams.. it takes awhile.. i didn't see kizzy until a few months after her passing.. but she comes and i feel her.
i feel her jump on my bed , esp when i am very sick. i feel her paw prints on my bed and no kitty is there. she came 2 weeks ago when i first got very sick and she stayed with me. it's just like when our family or friends pass on they never leave us and check in often to see how we are doing !!
tex is around you can bet on that !! he's watching over you !! i'd bet my bottom dallor on that !! (((lisa))))

Lisa, so sorry for your loss! I have it on good authority that my Butterscotch (who crossed the Bridge 15 months ago) has been showing Tex all the "secret" boy-cat spots - the place to watch the minnows in the stream, the best branches in the live oaks to lounge, the best grassy places to chase crickets... He is in good hands!

Lisaelau, I have something to tell you, I see above you want to know these things.
My Pixi, heart of my heart, died two years ago. After 18 healthy years with me, and two weeks of terrible illness as his kidneys calcified. Pixi visits me in dreams now and then. He is healthy and loves the sunshine and the myriad of butterflies he can chase... and all his new friends and old friends. I tell you all this because he visited me on the anniversary of his passing, March 24, I had been thinking about him all day and missing him so much. In the dream he had a beautiful black and white kitty with him, a new friend. I didn't think much about it because he often visits me and sometimes has a friend with him. Then I logged on to your post and saw your picture of Tex, it was the same kitty that came with Pixi. I am sure of it, I could not have known at the time of the dream as I had never seen Tex and didn't know what he looked like. But seeing him tonight I know it was Tex. He looked well and happy, he was playing with Pixi and the butterflies. Love to you, I am sorry for your loss.Posted 11 months ago by DancingCatHill #

DCH thank you soooooo much for letting me know!!! I've had such a hard time finding peace and trusting that Tex was with the other TDK furbabies who have gone on before us. I can only guess that peace has eluded me because of the violence...Emma has dreamed about him, and now you've seen him playing with your Pixi! God bless you for sending this message to me...it's such a comfort!
I wish he would come and see me, either when I'm awake or asleep. Sometimes I think I hear him at the window, but it's just a mockingbird. I hope that when I settle down and my heart opens more, I'll find out he's been here all long.
Thank you again for your loving message, and for taking the time to post.

Lisa, I am willing to bet you those sounds you have heard have been Tex coming to visit with you! What a glorious dream that DCH had! I hope that Tex brings Pixi to YOUR dreams! Loving thoughts and prayers still coming your way!
