Here's a link directly to the TDK candle page, if anyone else would like to light a candle for Ashby:

It takes so little time for their pawprints to become permanently planted in our hearts, doesn't it? My deep sympathy for the loss of your sweet little girl.
thanks Leeny. I lit one as well.

Hi Ashby, I'm so sorry for what happened, but glad you have found TDK - this is a great little community, we laugh together, cry together, and yeah, OK, sometimes even argue together, but we all care deeply for our cats, and know what you and your partner are going through. I hope you continue to post here, and would love to see some pictures if you're able to post them (when you're ready, ask for some help on putting together a Catster page). {{hugs}}

It's such a small gesture, but I lit a candle for Ashby, too.

Thank you, Leeny. I lit one, too. Ashby, I came to TDK for the exact same reason, and have been here ever since. It's a warm, loving home and will embrace you like a long lost brother. Whenever you are able, we'd love to see your photos of Ashby. No rush. We're here when you feel up to it.
I have lit a candle too. I am very very sorry for your loss. Ashby sounds like such a beautiful wonderful kitten. This is a very heartbreaking story. I have cried for you. It really touches my heart. You did all you could for your little baby and she knows how loved she is. You and your partner are in my thoughts. I would love to see photos if you have the strength to share them with us.
What a beautiful little kitten, Ashby's dad! I can certainly see how she would have stolen your heart. But I am also very grateful that, even for such a short life, she knew love with you all.

I am so sorry for your loss. Bless little Ashby. There is a poem that I posted on the thread "TDK white light needed", if you wish to read it. Maybe it will bring a bit of comfort. It is called "If It Should Be".

Ashby was beautiful, as you are beautiful for giving her so much love, care and attention in her short life.
Sometimes these little ones can touch us in the deepest parts of our hearts.
I feel your pain and your grief, and if I could, I would be there to take you in my arms and hold you while we both cry.
I, too, have lost a little one that I spent time and money, not to mention a part of my heart to get him well.
He apparently had hidden Feline Leukemia which he tested negative for, but his mother later tested positive.
It's been many years, and the pain is not longer there, but he is still missed.
Please accept my virtual hugs, and welcome to TDK. You are among friends.
Peace, {{{{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}, and purrs.

Ashby looks just like my Whiskers did when she was six weeks old. I am very sorry for your loss. Sending you gentle hugs as you grieve for the loss of your beautiful little furrbaby.

Aww, she was so cute. ***wipes away fresh tears*** {{{HUGS}}} to you for adopting her, at least she knew she was loved, even for a few short weeks.

I'm so sorry about your loss, how very sad. It was hard enough for me to make the decision to put my 11 1/2 year old kitty down a couple years ago when she got sick, but I couldn't imagine the pain of putting the baby down... *hugs* to you and your partner... just don't 2nd guess your decision... I know it's easier said than done, but know she's happy again and not in any pain...
I lit a candle for Ashby as well...

I lit a candle too! Ashby was one beautiful kitten. Right now tears are streaming down my face, so I hope I am typing ok.

Ashby was a little sweetheart - and Graycie is beautiful too. I hope you continue to post and find support here as you and your partner grieve, and then one day open your heart to another deserving little soul. There are so many out there, and you obviously have a lot of love to give.

Here's another poem that might help - I know you only had weeks not years with Ashby, but they steal our hearts so quickly...
