Well, it´s strange how things turn out. At the time I lost my beautiful boy my world fell apart. It´s just not the same without him and we then had to move countries as well so all in all things were quite difficult.

Strangly though I can feel him and sense his presence all around me. I talk to him a lot and while things didn´t seem to be going right at first it really is as though he is guiding me and making things happen in such a way that it is better than I thought.

I originally lost a job I really wanted but now have got a better one and was in despair with buying a house as again the one we wanted was sold. But another much better one has come along at a much better time.

It really is amazing and comforting to feel he is still there and guiding us.

Thank you Vincent, my beautiful boy.

I believe Vincent will always watching over you..
Memory of him will never fade away.. and so your love for him.

It´s been years when Marko left us, but we never feel far away from him, even when we move to another city, we feel that Marko still near, inside our home with us.

Keep the faith...

It can sneak up after years. Piper is 4 this year, Squeak has been gone 3 months longer than that. Today, Piper took her walkies up by Squeak´s grave.....and it made me cry. She´s so gone! Just gone! And it´s forever! And yes, I still feel her in dreams, but in waking - it still feels empty where she was.

Hi
I lost my little angel in April, of this year. JanCarol, I feel your pain. I see my little girl (Ruckus), in my dreams, and my world not only was destroyed, the whole universe with it. I raised her from a 6week old kitten, and taught her everything. We played everyday, She would curl up beside me when I was on the pc. If I was on the pc too long, she´d distract me, and tell me what she needed. I hated being at work knowing she was alone. That is before we got Jazz. Everynight I would come home and she´d greet me, even if she was asleep, she´d run to the door. Her fur was so soft, her purrs made the workday non existent. Saying that she and I were close is an understatement. She would wake me up, and in her own way, tuck me in at night. We´d look outside, and see cars. She would even meow if a classic was going by, so I´d see it. We-believe it or not would go to Dairy Queen, and watch the traffic there. I had her in her carrier, and she´d love the adventures. Whenever I wasn´t at work Ruckus and I were doing chores together, playing or something. The emptiness for me is similar to the Grand Canyon, even though I have Jazz, Missy and Bella her bro and sisters. But I do have a question, lately I think of her, and cry for a few hours, and its been a few months...is that normal? I remember her, and just feel the loss so great, like it was that day all over again. I just want to hold her and pet her one more time.....and maybe share some chicken-her favourite.

Yes, I believe it is perfectly normal. In fact it happens to me too. Vincent has been gone for five months and yesterday I had a weep about my loss and how empty the house is without him. I know it does get easier but I will always miss him and one day I hope to look back with smiles instead of tears. Hope you can too!

Yes, it´s normal. Some companions fill deeper holes than others - and 3 may not fill the hole left by your Ruckus. It´s unfair to compare Piper to Squeak - unfair to Piper, as those are big paws to fill. So I wait for Piper to fill the Squeak sized hole in my chest - 4 years now - in her own way, in her own time.
