4 Weeks without My Saki

[lavendertook]

I came across this sweet song vid yesterday by Meghan Trainor, and I have to say I really did love my Saki like I was going to lose her and was often brought to tears by something sweet she would do. She came to me 4 years after I lost petite meezer Stormie terribly when she was only 9, and my world came crashing down. It did take a couple of

so wonderful that you captured so many lovely memories of her. Your world is a sadder place, but it is only sadder in direct proportion to the joy and love she gave and received! *hugs you*

Yes, she was an amazing cat being. My world is sadder, but more whole because she was in it--a hole that completes the whole. *squishes*

This is a beautiful post, my dear one. I'm just speechless with love and tenderness for you, and your good, open heart.

I never took my Saki for granted, and am grateful for all the cherished moments

That's the best way to love, and to remember. And thank goodness for Primroses.

*so much love*

*hugs you tight* Thank you, my friend.

L & H's gift of Primroses helps me so much to hold Saki's nurturing presence close to me still.<3

Thank you, my friend. She was a beautiful cat being and it was my great good fortune to have found her in my life.

Primroses of the Rainbow Bridge is a lovely healing place. For us. And for our darling pets. I broke down sobbing just yesterday thinking that as much as I was ripped open, missing my Smudge reaching up to purr in my face, that his sister Sophie, who died two years ago, was very happy and that her time waiting for her beloved brother to be with her again was at an end. My Sophie is at peace. And I had to let Smudge go in order for that to happen.

My grief continues. My tears continue. The loss is overwhelming and just crushes me. But then I can think that Sophie is thrilled to have her beloved brother and litter mate with her again.

There is comfort there. So your Saki is now making sure Stormie is okay.

*hugs you tight* I found the first 2 weeks were equally brutal, but the third brought a little lightening of the weight and a dulling of the sharpness of the shattered pieces piercing the heart. I wish I could help ease you on the way, my friend. Be gentle with yourself.

It still hurts at week 4, of course, and there are tears, but I'm ready to see Saki at Primroses curled up with Storm, taking comfort together, and it is so lightening my heart. And yes, how can I sob that I want her back, that I want more time, when Storm has been waiting 20 years for the comfort Saki is bringing her now. I thank you and Lora so much for this comfort.

If love and imagination could pull worlds into being, then our babies are there at Primroses in full contentment, Saki and Storm curled up in a chair on one side of the fire and Smudge sitting on and Sofie in a chair on the other side.
