Posted September 20, 200816 yr As many of you know, I have a cat who lives at home with my parents. She is 13 years old and was not being herself of late. I considered taking her to the vet before I left to come up to Deb's, but decided against it. I had a call from my sister tonight asking me when I was comming home as Sammi was not looking too good. I called her, and we decided it was best if they took her to the vet. Not long after that my sister called back in tears. They had to put her down She had kidney failure, ulcers in her mouth and through her body. The vet didn't think she had been suffering for too long. My sister held her whilst they did it and she didn't struggle at all... My sister said she looked at peace and was happy to let go... :hap: So... I'm feeling pretty upset. Mum and Dad will bury her tomorrow morning in the garden and I'll say a special goodbye when I get home. I know she had a great life, and there wouldn't have been anything I could have done if I was there... It's just hard. I did give her a big kiss and cuddle before I left, but wish I could have been there for her tonight. Well, that's all from me for now. Just wanted to share this with you all... maesie xoxo Sammi... Love you!!! (on a side note, also got told my Grandpa, who has been sick was taken to hospital tonight as well. He is not good and may not make it throught the night... mmm... ) Edited July 14, 200915 yr by maesie

September 21, 200816 yr Oh no! I'm sooo sorry to hear this Maesie I know EXACTLY how you're feeling right now Last november the 6th my Grampy had a car crash, he was taken to hospital and we were aware he was going to be leaving us, then 30 minutes before he passed away my 11 yr old cat Ran under Bob's car and got hit and died of shock Only last week my best mate's partner lost his grandad and had to put his cat down on the same day :| This seems like too common an occurance If you need to talk sweety you know where i am! Sending you big hugs and love xoxox!
September 21, 200816 yr I am so sorry to hear this. The biggest hugs in the world. We are all here for you to cry on. Hugs. May they both rest in peace.
September 21, 200816 yr Author Thanks so much everyone. I took an early flight home from Deb's and was met at the airport by my sisters. We have spent the rest of the day together and I am just home now. I'm totally exhaused. I feel numb and not myself. I went to Mum and Dad's to pick up the car, and went down to where they burried Sammi. I found myself crying and patting the soil on her grave. I miss her so much... She was always there when you needed a hug, and with my grandpa's passing, a great big Sammi hug and lick is what I needed. My parents are up with my grandma and the family. They are sorting out things and the funeral. It will be on Wednesday. They live 4 hours away, but I think we'll be driving up and back in the same day. It's going to be hard, long and very draining... I don't really know what else to say... life can be so cruel... I know they were both sick and are now at peace, but I wasn't ready to say good bye to either...
September 21, 200816 yr Aww sweety We're all here for you so if you EVER need to talk you know where I am. As easy as it is to say, but hard as it is to do, don't think of it as you've lost them because you still have all the memories of the joy they brought to you and will one day see each other again, it's just tata for now

She was explaining that we can't see him... he replied with 'yes we will mum. When we die and go to heaven, we will see him'

September 21, 200816 yr At times like this Maesie there are just no words that can ease your pain and I'm at a loss as to what I can do to make you feel a little bit better. Just know that we are all here for you. So dont hesitate to ring or PM me any time of the day or night. I just wish I could be there for you to give you a hug. Life can be very cruel as I have found out recently as well but take comfort in the fact that your grandfather and your cat are in a better place and although you are missing them both terribly, they are resting in peace.Take good care of yourself Maesie and please pass on my condolences to your family for me. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Jenene xoxoxoxox

September 23, 200816 yr Author Thanks to everyone for their thoughts, words and prayers. I have also received many PM's. Thanks so much and sorry I haven't replied to them. I'm finding things very hard and overwhelming. We have a 4 hour drive up and back to my grandpa's funeral tomorrow. It's going to be a very long day. Um... that's all I feel like writing for now... I hope everyone's birds are doing well... maesie xo
