Sad News

I woke up this morning eager to share some Art Journal pages and my thoughts on creativity. But then some sad news came my way...

Our beloved cat of over 10 years passed away this morning. She had been at the vet. You see, my sweet pea Little had to have surgery Monday morning. My darling, fat, gray fluff ball died of complications this morning.

I will miss my Little.

  6. Oh, Leslie, I'm so sorry to hear about Little. I have no doubt she brought plenty of fun times to the Ackman home. Hang on to those. I'm thinking an art journal page is in the works to honor Little's contribution to the family!!

  12. Oh Les, that is very sad news. Our pets are also our babies, and they leave a big hole in our hearts when they leave us. It's okay to cry. As much as you need to.

  15. Dear Leslie (((((hugs))))),
    You will be in my prayers. I have lost beloved pets. It took a long time before we could mention one pet's name without tears.

    I assume someone may have already sent this to you, but here it is, just in case no one did. It comforted me a great deal; perhaps it will help you.

    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, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

    All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. 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 each 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. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run 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 Rainbow Bridge together....
