A Letter to Casey Bear & April
by Dot Karcher
Dear Casey Bear & April, How are you my precious angels? I hope that you both are well and having lots of fun playing together with all the other beautiful Bridge Babies. Mommy misses you both so much. I have never felt so alone in all my life. We have a new Puppy, her name is Baylee. She is so sweet but a little terror right now. We also have a new kitty, April. Her name is Shiloh. Thank you for choosing her for me that day at the shelter. I wanted to take all 6 kitties home with me, but Daddy wouldn't let me. They, by no means, will ever replace my Son Casey & my Daughter April. But they do carry over your love for me. My heart is crying out, because I fear your sister Brandi Bear will be joining you soon in the not too distant future. She sleeps her life away. I don't think she is awake for 2 hours out of 24. The vets are all afraid of Chows around here. They want to put her under to examine her, but I fear that if they do, she will slip away from me before I have the chance to say good bye. I never got the chance to say good bye to either one of you my angels. I carry that burden around in my heart all the time. Now another angel is about to be snatched from me. People who never had fur babies are lucky in one respect but unlucky in another because they will never get to know the unconditional love that God sends us through you, His Special Angels, but lucky in the respect that they will never know the devastating pain that your losses bring about. A pain that stays with us forever because when you, our angels leave us, you take a part of us with you that we can never reclaim until we meet again at Rainbow Bridge. You brand your pawprints into our hearts and into our very souls. I know that God would never take a love so deep from us forever, but we must learn to earn back what He has taken from us. I would have gladly given up all material goods to have been able to keep you both with me longer. Please ask God to give Brandi Bear a little more time, and to wake her up and let her know how deeply she is loved. And when it is her time to join you, please, my babies welcome her into your fold and help her to adjust. Mommy has been so depressed lately, and the situations have no chance of change. If you can manage it, I would love you both to visit me. And when it is Brandi's time to join you, please escort her to the Rainbow Bridge. May God hold you both in His loving arms until the day my work on earth is through and I can also join you in that beautiful Garden, just this side of Heaven, we call the Rainbow Bridge. God bless you my angels, My deepest love to my children, Love, Your Mommy. XXXXX OOOOO
