My Sherbert

BotanyBlack · 08-24-2011, 12:32 PM

I am sorry to say that my feline soul mate Sherbert has passed over the Bridge this morning. Right now I don't have alot I can say until the numbness wears off. I will never regret bringing you home and I will never regret those last 2 minutes. I will always remember those 18 years.

Sherbert

Rest in Peace My special companion.

I am sorry to hear those news, but you should feel happy because you gave him a lot of love, and caring. You were there for him till the end. You gave him the best life possible..so I am sure he went in peace, and super happy!!! Just hang in there...he might not be physically present, but you will always have him in your memory. Rest in peace Sherbet!!!!

I'm so sorry to hear about Sherbert. Your tribute to him back in June really said it all. I'm just sorry that he's no longer there, but I do understand how important he was to you. What a special boy, and how lucky you two were to have each other.

Oh no! If I were able to, I would give you tons of hugs. But this will have to do for now ((((((BotanyBlack)))))).

There are no words that will take the pain away. You were both lucky to have each other and he knows how much you love him.

You and Sherbert will be in my thoughts. I wish you lots of good healing vibes and peace always.

So sad to lose them when they've been part of your life for so long.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Take pleasure from the thought that you gave him 18 wonderful years. A whole lifetime of love and security.

Run free little one.

My deepest sympathies. I have no doubt he will be always be watching over you.

I'm so sorry BotanyBlack. I can't imagine how much it must hurt to lose him, and I wish you peace during this time. He sounds like he was one amazing cat.

Thanks everyone. All i want to do is take a nap and stop leaking tears. I have known for awhile it was coming. his weight was going up and down a lot. He stopped eating yesterday and this morning stopped drinking. I woke up the day before yesterday with a migraine, Sherbert was more or less acting normal. but by bedtime last night I knew it was time. sometimes you just know. I talked to him on the way to the vet. When I said my goodbyes and told him not to hang on for me, he sighed deeply, and slipped into a coma, at that moment my migraine lifted. For the last year I have repeatedly said I would carry his pain the last few days if I had too. I guess I did. I would do it again.

We had a special bond that I know will carry on. I do believe there in the chance of meeting again in this life once more before I go myself. When you have a soul connection even crossing the Bridge does not cut the ties. While I grieve for his loss and I miss him, I am also sure it is not forever.
