 Philip, that is a beautiful way to remember Tiffy, although I know that's of no comfort right now. Take care of yourself  :hug:

Hi Philip, just catching up with this thread sort of guessed from what you said in previous posts that his time had come but it still doesn't make it any easier does it. I hope a week on that things are a little easier for you. Reading through this thread has made me quite emotional it is clear from the pictures he was a well loved cat and the support from people on here has been tremendous.

Hi Michelle.

I really miss him.

Sometimes I look at his old places to see if he is there. Then I get that sinking feeling that he's gone.

My lovely little boy.

On the flying without wings theme. Decided to get on the piano and try and play something I could use at his cremation.

Came up with this.

It's good to get the tears out.  Isn't it strange that when we are upset every song on the radio is a sad one.  Tiffy is worth the tears so cry them all away.  :hug:

It comes and goes doesn't it. One minute you are fine and then the next.....Bang.



Almost like waves on a beach Philip, thats how i find grief....it comes and goes, sometimes the waves are little ones and then suddenly you get knocked over by a big one.
It's such early days too, it will get easier, the "good" days become more and more and finially you realise you havent had a "bad" day for ages

Sending you a  :hug:

Took a walk into town and bought the new book by Vicky Halls "The complete cat" to cheer myself up.

Was listening to my walkman and "flying without wings" came on. I'm so glad I had my sunglasses on because I had floods of tears streaming down my face.

You know Philip I have always felt a sense of peace when I have collected the ashes.  It is upsetting but I have felt that my babies were home for good.

I'm sort of ok I think. Having weird dreams.

Cant really think about Tiffy right now.

I guess it will hit me hard when I pick his body up to go to the crematorium.

My pain is bad, but it is born of happiness. I would have rather had him in my life and go through this pain than never had met him.

I'm glad he was in my life. As I am all my kitties are. I have learned over the years its bad to keep you're feelings hidden. It stops you from being you're true self. It doesn't show weakness but strength. I'm proud to say I love Tiffy and all my cats.

I don't mean to make anyone cry. I'm sorry if I do. I guess as you all know, the love you give and receive from a relationship with a pet is a very special gift to be cherished.

Dear Tiffy.

When I was 16 I lost my dad. I planted a seed in the ground and cried tears of sadness. Those tears of sadness made the seed grow and you were born.

I have spent many happy years with you. Even though there have been many, it was still too short a time. It would have been however long we had together.

Now it was you're time to go. Like a flower in autumn, the flowers and leaves dropped and the cycle of life turned full circle.

I have tears of sadness again, but I understand you haven't left me. The cycle of life still goes on all around me. The fires in you're eyes lights up in mine.

Please wait for me. Because one day I will be with you again. It's not my time quite yet. I have still much to do and learn. I have to continue the work you and my other fur babes inspire me to do. I still have lots of love to give others. I know you will understand.

God bless you my special baby.

You're daddy xxx
