Thank you lovely catpeople XXX

I remember Bungly. The pendant sounds very special.

Can't type on this iPad! If my boys were still around mind you, it would be impossible to use at all by now as I would've had to download kitty paw games and that would have been in the end of the iPad!

Hey sweetheart.  We all remember your beautiful boys.  What a delight they both were, and what a desperate loss it was to have to say goodbye.   :hug: :hug:  They have never faded in your memory and that's so special.  :hug: :hug:

It's 3 years today since Wampa passed away. I still miss him and his mad bruvver Max so much. My memories are still a mix of the bad and the good. The flat feels so empty; not without a pet, but without them.
Today I got 3 beautiful big, white, long stemmed roses and 2 white lisiathus to put next to Swampy's ashes and I've lit his candles.
Poor little Wampa, my Choccy Monster - cover your ears on the Bridge, because your Mum is going to sing to you!

For all of you, Swampy's honorary aunties and uncles, I'll never forget your support. It means as much today as 3 years ago and always will.

They'll both be safe and sound at the Bridge, waiting until you are ready to collect them xx

Remember Our Love


I was chosen that day
I'm learning to fly
the world took me away,
but please don't you cry

And I chose you today
to try and be strong
so please don't you cry
and don't say that I'm gone

When you're feeling alone
just remember our love,
I'm up near the stars
looking down from above.

Remember our love
In a moment you'll see
that I'm still here beside you
when you're thinking of me.

Lit my candles for Swampy tonight and put white freesias and roses next to his little casket. It is 2 years ago tomorrow, the 13th, that he passed.
I miss him and his little brother Max so much.
Live on forever, fly free my boy
you are so loved. We must honour the memory of all the love and joy you brought to us.

Tomorrow is one year on from Swampy's passing. I am still finding it very hard to cope without his strong, unconditional love and constant reassurance. I felt the world was all right with him in it. I know he's at peace now and flying free, with no struggles to overcome but I miss him so very very much.

I am going out to buy some beautiful white roses to put in the flat. I want to do something tomorrow that makes me happy, in his honour. He was such an inspiration, the way he coped with ill health and deafness and blindness and still kept loving, playing and purring.

I can imagine Maxy up on the Bridge or Heaven or wherever being a bit jealous, so Maxy my little plastic chewing horror, I love and miss you so much too.
I feel that I have lost my family. I don't really have one and they were it, for me and my husband.

I'm sorry I've not been in touch regularly with all of you who were so wonderfully caring and supportive during their illness and at the end  :hug: :hug:

It is very beautiful Philip and captures Swampy in a gentle, reflective mood. thank you again so very much. It means an awful lot. My memories are still mostly difficult ones, of them when so ill - I suppose because of the long and intensive nursing - but this was a sunny day in september 2007 when the local college's photography lecturer came around and we snuck out on the flat roof to have him take some good photos. Swampy was well and happy, deaf but it didn't bother him.

I miss them both terribly. It's nearly a year for Max now which is unbelievable.

Love to you too Pappilon for Phoebe. I light candles for my boys especially on fridays and will say a little word for her too.
Next week has a friday 13th which will be hard as Swampy passed on friday 13th november.

forgive me, but I am going to post exactly the same message on both boys' threads here on RB. I am going to be away and not able to light candles for the boys, which I do at night and also on fridays, to commemorate their passing. I have bought a small orchid to put next to their caskets. It didn't feel right to have fake flowers.
I just wanted them to know that I may be away from what was their home, but they are with me always. I know it sounds odd, but I think some of you on here will understand. I keep their caskets in the windowsill where they always slept.

If anyone is lighting a candle in the next 3 weeks, and if you remember, please could you just offer a little thought up to my Swampy and my Max.  It is now 10 months since Max passed and 7 months since Swampy passed but it still feels so raw and recent.  It's going to be hard as I am going back to where they used to live, in SA, to visit our ex neighbour.

Fly free little boys, I love you always xxxxxxxxxx

thanks Gail  :hug:  I'm so pleased I got those photos taken in 2007 before they both got ill.

It's 6 months today that Swampy passed so it's a difficult time. I miss him so very much and love him so much more than I can say. I know he lives on forever in my heart and he's at peace now with darling little Max, but you know how it is, you want them back and healthy and with you.
I seem to miss him and Max more as time goes on.
