Good-bye my friend, I'll always love you. I'll miss the way you snuggled up to me while I was on the couch. You always seemed to know when I was there. I'll miss your loud purr when I stroked your head. I'll miss the soft touch of your fur, your warm body pressing against me when you sat in my lap. You were a good friend to me...so loyal. You used to speak to me in your own kitty language whenever I came to visit you. I guess it was your way of saying "hello, I love you!" I would kiss you on the head, I'm sure you loved that. But now I can't kiss you anymore, I can't snuggle with you anymore, touch your soft fur or listen to the soft sound of your purr. When you passed on, a part of me went with you. I will never be the same again. I can only hope you are at peace wherever you are. Good-bye my friend, I'll always love you. 6-22-03 It has been almost a month since you crossed the Rainbow Bridge. I can still hear your voice in my head, still crying for some food. Or maybe just a pat on the head. I don't know...all I know is that you're gone forever. Sometimes I still look over my shoulder expecting to see you there and then again I realize you're gone...my beloved cat Darla. For sixteen wonderful years I have loved and cared for you, I treated you as if you were my own child. I can't even put into words the pain and anguish I felt when I found out you were never coming back. I miss you more than words can say. God will be your constant companion now, He will take care of you as I so lovingly did in life. There will always be a peace of you that lives on in my heart. Rest in peace, my beloved Darla. 6-30-03 My baby...you are sorely missed. You are gone, but not forgotten. I can't tell you how hard it's been living without you. I now have your picture framed and on my desk so I can see you every day. When it is my time to cross the Bridge, we will be reunited again. Until that time, I can only hope you are happy playing with all your animal friends across the Rainbow Bridge. Lots of love and kisses. Mommy 7-7-03 Hi Baby, I miss you so much. I just celebrated the fourth of July with my family. Although one family member was missing, I thought about you the whole time. In fact there isn't any time when I'm not thinking about you. You brought such joy into my life. I remember all the funny things you did. I remember the time when you were a just a kitten, and I found you sitting on top of the kitchen table looking at me so innocently. Or what about all the times you used to crawl into the paper shopping bag when it fell to the floor. I could go on and on about all the times you made me laugh. You were an angel without wings. But now that you've gotten your wings, I know you have made friends with all the other fur angels up there. And when the time is right, I will fly up to heaven to be with you again. Lots of hugs and kisses. Mommy 7-23-03 Hi sweetie, it has been almost two months since you left me. I miss you so much. I still look for you at your favorite place by the back door. You always loved it there, you would curl up on the rug and soak up the afternoon sun. Sometimes when I'm eating dinner, I still look down to see if you are sitting there begging for a taste of my food. Those are the most painful times for me, when I'm constantly reminded that you're gone. It comforts me to know that someday we will be reunited once again. You may be gone in body, but your spirit will live on in my heart forever. Lots of love and kisses. Mommy. 08-10-03 Hi baby! Just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of you. I miss you so much, every time I go home to visit I am contantly reminded me of you. Sometimes I still think I see you curled up in your favorite spot. Since I adopted you 16 years ago (when you were only 8 weeks old) I could only estimate your birthday date. It probably was sometime in July. Happy Birthday Darla!! I'm giving you a great big can of tuna, because I know that was one of your favorites. And I giving you a birthday cake too!! Many kisses and hugs!!! Mommy. 12-1-03 Hi Baby!! I didn't want you to think I forgot about you. I've been thinking about you a lot. I hope you are safe and happy with all your furry friends up there. I miss you so so much. I wish you were down here so I could hold you and listen to you purr again. Fortunately, we will be together again someday. Miss you much and Happy Holidays!!! Love and kisses!! Mommy 12-25-03 Merry Christmas Darla! This is the first Christmas I've spent without you. I remember how you used to sit on all the wrapping paper after we opened the presents. That was your favorite thing to do at Christmas, aside from sleeping under the tree. I missed you so much today....and will miss you forever. You may be gone in body, but your spirit will always live on in my heart! Hope you are safe and happy wherever you are. Merry Christmas my baby!!! Lots of Hugs and Kisses!! Mommy. 04-02-04 Hi baby, I know it's been a while but I really miss you. It's almost been a year since you passed over the rainbow bridge. I just thought I'd let you know that I'm still thinking of you. I hope all your animal friends are keeping you company over the rainbow bridge. Lots of hugs, kisses (and many tears!) Mommy 5-25-04 Hi baby! I just wanted to pay you a visit on your one year anniversary. I still think about you all the time. It has been so hard for me to accept the fact that you're gone in body forever. I just want you to know that you are sorely missed, and until we meet again over the Rainbow Bridge your spirit will always exist within my heart. You are gone in body, but not in spirit. Many prayers, hugs, kisses and plenty of love!! Mommy 5-29-05 Hugs and kisses on your anniversary love, you are not forgotten! Love Mommy. 5-25-06 Just wanted to let you know I'm thinking about you.
