hard parts of life - Rest in Peace Lily.
11 years ago
No matter what age you are or how long they have been with you pets easily become family. Yesterday I lost a member of my family due to illness and it was an emotional rollercoaster for me. Making the hard choices and the after care choices really changed my composure from holding it together to an emotional wreck.
I had my cat Lily since 2000. She was a college gift from my sister and Lily been through everything with me. She used to travel with me, attend school with me, she moved up to Kingston and adopted
prplhaze into her life.normally she does not trust people due to abuse in the past, but it made me happy to know she learned to trust and love him like I have.
She was kinda raciest just ask
familliar many times she chased him around the house or blocked him from entering a room, she also had a bit of a temper and drew blood on many unsuspecting people who tried to say hello.
She always wanted things her way. You could be eating dinner or watching tv and she would sit and paw at you until you covered all the green in her food dish. She never liked the bottom showing one bit. She also loved sticking a paw in your mouth when she decided to rest on your chest when laying down.
Recently when her health was declining she slept a lot... And boy did she snore it made me chuckle a little listening to her over the television or conversation. She also started resting her paw on your shoulder when you sat in the big chair she loved sleeping on top of.
Sadly I had to let her go on Feb 4th due to health complications. She will always be watching over us. She passed knowing we loved her and I know she was in no pain at all. Which is better terms for her to depart us on.
I am writing this journal to remember her, to allow me to reflect and smile each time I read the little small things that make her unique and gave her a personality.
Love you Lily. 2000-2015

My condolences... *hugs*
Christmas eve would have been three years that I had him.
In the last week or so, he became very slow and wouldn't
eat or drink. On the last day, all he could do was lift his
head and squeak in pain. That's when I decided that he's
done his part in providing me with love and companionship,
and it was my turn to allow him to go in peace with very
little pain. It's been a few months and I'm still tearing up
as I'm writing this. Know in your heart that she's loved you
unconditionally, and you've returned the same kind of love.
She's provided you with all those years of love and laughs
and was by your side in the good times and through the bad.
You've provided her with all the warmth and kindness and
care that you could possibly provide to someone you love.
In the final hours, I've granted peace to Stimpy and you've
granted peace to Lily and they are now in a peaceful rest
that you and I can only know on the day that we join them.
*BIG HUGS, TIGER FRIEND* (I wish you well)
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took His hand when I head Him call,
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I found that place at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah yes, these things, I too, will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I savored much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now, He set me free.
*tight hugs*
all I can say, I know that hurt far too well....
She had diabetes, didn't she? One of my cats was diagnosed with it last year. He went from being a mostly outdoor cat to being forced to be indoors in my new home for the past few years and it just wrecked his system. Thankfully, it looks like he's on the mend, but only time will tell, eh?
Take solace in knowing that she lived a good long life, had lots of love to give, was loved deeply in return and was surrounded by loved ones in the her final moments. Really, that is all any of us can ask for out of life.
-hugs tight- She will never be forgotten.
I have no idea how I missed this journal, but I figure late is better than never. Sorry to hear about Lilly. It won't be the same at your place without her. She'll definitely be missed! *HUGS*
