    You did the bestest thing you could for Tom, you were and are a wonderful Mum. Many hugs to you...and thank you for letting Tom know true love for the past 2 an half years x

    For you and Tom...

    I was chosen to 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 beide you
    When you're thinking of me.
  • Thinking of you.

    Please MFH, take your time grieving. No one here expects any recognition or whatever.

    I've only just managed to talk to you for the first time in a couple of months after my loss, it was that painful.

    You stay cocooned under your duvet whatever. Take care of yourself and thoughts as well to your husband. Your lovely girl Tom was a loved cat and you did right by her.

    RIP lovely Tom, the hurt is gone, you're filled with love. Run free at Rainbow Bridge.


    MAY I GO
    by Susan A. Jackson

    May I go now?
    Do you think the time is right?
    May I say goodbye to pain filled days
    and endless lonely nights?

    I've lived my life and done my best,
    an example tried to be.
    So can I take that step beyond
    and set my spirit free?

    I didn't want to go at first,
    I fought with all my might.
    But something seems to draw me now
    to a warm and loving light.

    I want to go. I really do.
    It's difficult to stay.
    But I will try as best I can
    to live just one more day.

    To give you time to care for me
    and share your love and fears.
    I know you're sad and afraid,
    because I see your tears.

    I'll not be far, I promise that,
    and hope you'll always know
    that my spirit will be close to you
    wherever you may go.

    Thank you so for loving me.
    You know I love you, too.
    That's why it's hard to say goodbye
    and end this life with you.
    So hold me now just one more time
    and let me hear you say,
    because you care so much for me,
    you'll let me go today.
    My first reply was witty and intellectual but I lost it so you got this one instead :D
    Proud to be a chic shopper

    Blessed be little Tom...
    At least she had a lifetime of love in the short time you had her - that is so much more than some pets ever get so know that she went as a much loved companion and friend and not alone in pain and fear...

    I'm sure she'll keep an eye on you and when the time is right she'll help you pick a new friend who will need you as much as she did :)

  • My thoughts are with you - I lost my beloved cat 4yrs ago & will never, ever forget him

    Those we love don't go away,
    They walk beside us everyday,
    Unseen, Unheard but always near,
    Still loved, Still missed & very dear......R.I.P Tom.....At rest at Rainbow Bridge.

    You showed how much you loved Tom by not letting her suffer anymore :A

    Lovely Tom, always at Rainbow Bridge waiting for your Mum.

    Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends, so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food and water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigour; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing: they miss someone very special to them who had to be left behind.

    They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. The bright eyes are intent; the eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to break away from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

    You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together.


    RIP Tom
    2 angels in heaven :A
  • I'm so sorry for you, but you were strong, you are the perfect pet owner who does what is right, when it is needed, no matter how much it hurts you.

    You have my deepest sympathy during this sad time and you should take all the time you need to grieve, I know for you it started yesterday before the vet visit, but I do hope you are able to take a little comfort from knowing that you absolutely, 100% did the right thing for your sweet Tom girl.

    Take care.
