Dearest darling Ralphy, our 19 year old baby boy
Today 6/15/2020 you went to rainbow bridge. Mama and daddy love you so much, and miss you so terribly. I'm glad you were able to go to rainbow bridge at home, comfortable on your favorite blanket on the couch. We spent the last few hours cuddled, with me petting you and you purring. We didn't want you to ever go, but we also can't let you suffer at all. You were going to be more uncomfortable soon and we can't have you go into heart failure more. We battled your illnesses for over 15 months. Hyperthyroid, IBD, and heart disease. We were able to save you from heart failure twice and you recovered in no time like a trooper. You are the toughest boy ever! We went through some bad days, but we had so so many good days! Of you eating big big bites of food, happy and purring, flopping over and rolling, playing with your leather string mouse and circular disk toy. You were such a champ taking so many medicines everyday, we did this for 15 months. You got so good at taking them too. Our journal of your notes for 15 months, where all the food you ate was written down, all your activity noted. When I read some again it was like reliving our memories, you are still here. You will always be here at home with us baby, a part of you will never leave and will also always be in our hearts! You will join your brother Matty now at Rainbow Bridge, you can curl up next to him and sleep again, or be bookends on the couch, head butt, or play fight tussle. I'm happy you two reunited and will never be apart again, for the love you shared is unbreakable and unconditional. Just like the love I have for you. Ralphy, we fought a long battle and we won for 15 months. I am so happy we were able to have you for this extra time. It is a gift to all of us. And I thank you so much for being such a fighter this whole time. Everyday given to us by you has been a miracle, and I cherish each day and each moment with you, my baby boy. Happy 19th birthday, you are 19 years and one week old today. We love you with all our hearts and soul, we miss you so terribly it hurts and is tearing me up inside. But I know it was for the best, and you fought to the very very end. You even ate some tuna and baby food before the vet. My strongest boy, We are sending you a big hugs and kisses on the nose and head, from here to rainbow bridge! One day we will meet again, never to be separated again at rainbow bridge. We love you forever and ever, you will always be here with us, and in our hearts. Love, Mama and Daddy6/21/2020
Dearest Ralphy, today is almost one week since you went to rainbow bridge. It is also Father's Day. Daddy and Mama miss you so much, and we wish you were here with us to celebrate Father's Day. I wish you were here to walk into the kitchen when I'm cooking dinner, and cry to me hurrying me to finish making it. And share our food. I wish you could sit with us again eating your favorite chicken cutlets, or tacos, or salmon. You were always so happy to eat that food with us, always the first one to be at the table, we called it " ready hand". It's not the same at home without you, there is a big hole missing in our house without you. My life revolves around you, especially since I stopped working, now I don't know what to do without you. I still go to all your favorite places you sit, and into the guest room and look at your cubby, when I look hard enough there I can still see you. I speak to you all the time. I know you can hear me baby. Even though you are not physically here, I know you are still here in spirit. Have a great Father's Day with your brother Matty and our other cats at Rainbow Bridge, and enjoy lots of cuddles with Matty like you used to. I am so sad at home without you, taking care of you and seeing you eat lots of big big bites has been my joy everyday for the last 15 months. But I know part of you is still here with us, and will enjoy Father's Day dinner with us in spirit. Daddy and Mama are giving you a lot of hugs, chin strokes, pats on the back, and kisses, from here to rainbow Bridge! We love you so so much, and we miss you terribly, our 19 year old baby boy! Love you forever, Mama and Daddy. Ps. We will do your Monday night candle ceremony tomorrow night. 6/22/2020
Dearest baby boy Ralphy,
Today it's been one week since you went to Rainbow Bridge. You are 19 years and 2 weeks old now. We did the Monday candle ceremony for you, and Matty and our other beloved cats. I'm sure you felt the warmth glow of the candles and our love. We love you so much and miss you terribly! I wish you were here and able to eat many many big big bites of turkey and rice, or sole and veggies. I hope you are having a wonderful time at rainbow bridge with your brother, now you're able to do all the head bumps, playful fights, and cuddles you want. I miss you terribly here at home, but I know a part of you is still here, and you will forever be in our hearts. I found 2 of your old favorite toys, the purple beads, and the blue plastic lay. The beads I found under my bed, but the lay showed up after I woke up on its own, I know it's a sign from you that you are still here with us and love and miss us! Mama and daddy love you so so much, and think about you all the time. We send you kisses, strokes, and nose rubs from here all the way to Rainbow Bridge! Love you forever, Mama and Daddy 6/29/2020
Dearest baby boy Ralphy,
Today you came home to us, it's been 2 weeks since you went to rainbow bridge. You are 19 years and 3 weeks old today. It was very emotional for me, and I cried and cried. But I know you wouldn't want me to be so sad, you usually comfort me when I am sad. We brought you home and showed you all your favorite spots in the house, and told you everything has been kept the same. Tomorrow we'll get a new box for you, one that matches Your brother Matty's. I am so glad you're home with us again. I wanted to tell you that you are the strongest cat, such a fighter through all your illnesses, and took all the pills like such a champ. We bonded so much during this time, and your eating and comfort And health has been all that I cared about at home. It's very strange now for me, but I know a part of you is still here with us, and you are no longer sick, you are happy and healthy again. Play lots with your brother Matty up at Rainbow Bridge, and cuddle like you guys used to. Know that you will be in my thoughts all the time, and forever in my heart! We miss you so much Ralphy, our 19 year old baby boy! We will forever love and cherish you, and you will be in our hearts forever! Love and miss you, lots of kisses and hugs from here to rainbow bridge, Mama and Daddy

Dearest Ralphy, I don't know what happened but I lost the last couple of weeks writing to you on this tribute page. I've been writing every week to you here, but lost the last few weeks worth. I wrote one the third week, the fourth week, and I especially wrote to you a long letter during your one month anniversary on 7/15, but it's not appearing. Today it was been 5 weeks and 2 days since you went to Rainbow Bridge. I think about you all the time, everyday and night. I love you so much and miss you so terribly. It's not the same at home without you, but we've kept your things the same, all your spots, and still have your favorite foods. Today Daddy got your favorite pound cake, as your nickname is Ralphy " Poundcake" Luo. When we got you the birthday cake for your 19th birthday you ate some pound cake too. I hope you enjoys some in spirit today, and at Rainbow Bridge. I'm sure Matty is taking good care of you there, you two can curl up together forever now, never to be separated. I know a part of you is still here at home with us. Know that we love and miss you so much, more than anything. We are sending you big kisses, and big pats on the back , and big hugs from here all the way to Rainbow Bridge. We love you forever and ever, Mama and Daddy 7/30/2020

It's been over 7 weeks since you went to Rainbow Bridge, I miss you so much and I love you with all my heart and soul! Yesterday before I fell asleep, I heard your cry, your special Ralphy Cry that you do, wry distinctly.
