For the first time, I've been going through the pictures from the last few months of Bear's life. Among them are the last pictures of Bear and me - taken the night before he went to the emergency vet.
Unfortunately, these were all taken on my smartphone, so the quality is less than I'd like.
I miss my Mr. Handsome Stripey-Pants so much. He is in every breath I take. And I'm grateful that he chose me to be his human and he rolled up his stripey sleeves to manage the almost impossible task of saving my life. Bear, everything I do is because you loved me.

If you missed our previous posts detailing how Bear and I met (and why his belly is shaved in the picture of him in his new home):
I have been bereft as well with the passing of my cats through the years. They are part of the fabric of my life. XXOO
ReplyDeleteI understand.
DeleteHe was so handsome. We miss him too. Purrs xx
ReplyDeleteHe was a special, life-changing guy!
DeleteSending tender thoughts of comfort as you recall your sweet boy.
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteI understand...Kat...100%. Take care of you because that is what Bear would want you to do.
ReplyDeleteHugs Cecilia
Yes, he'd insist on that!
DeleteAwww, that collage is beautiful and the love will always be there. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteYes. I've finally gotten to that place where I feel him with me.
DeleteBeautiful photos. He will live in your heart forever, but it's still not the same as having him physically with you.
ReplyDeleteI think I've finally gotten to the place where I still feel him in everything I do. You're right, it's not the same as cuddling with him every night, but it provides comfort.
DeleteGone but not forgotten…and always loved.
ReplyDeleteYes. We agree.
DeleteSuch sweet photos. I understand your pain. I miss my Sammy the same way. XO
ReplyDeleteI understand.
DeleteIt is so hard. I loved Eric and Flynn equally, but truly Flynn was my heart cat. It is only in the last few weeks that I have been able to look at his videos. They make me cry but smile at the same time if that makes sense. I really do understand how you feel.
ReplyDeleteI understand. It took me over two years to be able to look at these photos. It was devastating, but also comforting in that I could see our love and connection. I guess I'd started thinking I was imagining it.
DeleteAwww, I know you miss him, I miss many too. Hugs and purrs from the kitties and me.

ReplyDeleteWe know she does!
DeleteThat's such a wonderful collection of photos, Kat. Bear was such a special guy, and his healing love will always be with you. Sending you hugs and all good things.
ReplyDeleteThis is true. His love is in everything I do and how I see the world. He's not gone. I didn't realize that until recently.
DeleteWe all miss him too. Especially Amarula. It is so hard to lose your soulmate cat! The good part is that when an animal is your special soul mate pet they are always with you cause they are part of your spirit. Hope that gives you at least a little comfort
ReplyDeleteYes. It's taken me a couple of years to get there, but your are right. He's with me in everything I do and everything I am.
DeleteWhat a beautiful graphic of special photos. Sending hugs.
ReplyDeleteThank you <3
DeleteMom says that all cats are special, but some are extra special. Bear was extra special purrsonified. You were both fortunate to have each other.

ReplyDeleteYes, we were. I don't know if you remember Bear's back story, but I got him in Virginia, when I lived there for a year!
