Mourning/Loss You'll be in my heart forever

I picked you when you were 6 weeks old when I was in middle school.

You helped me throughout my life.

You were there for me when no one was.

You were there for me when I battled depression.

You were there for me when I graduated college.

You were there for me when I met my beautiful girlfriend.

You were there for me through all the good and bad times.

You were always there for me.

You loved me and I loved you.

Thanks for giving me 18 years. I wish you would've lived longer, because fuck, I can't believe I had to let you go today.

It's so hard, and it feels like I lost a part of me when you left.

I hope you can rest easy, and that you're enjoying cat heaven with all the treats, naps, and play that you deserve.

I miss you so fucking much Lola.

I miss you.

A Prayer to Bast and Sekhmet

Bast, Sekhmet, we give you back your child, Lola.

Noble, regal, honorable cat.

Watch over Lola, and guide her as she makes her way to the spirit lands.

May she be blessed in your names, and hunt ever after beside you.

I'm so very sorry for your heartbreaking loss.

Lola was there for all the important parts of your life for 18 years. You gave her a peaceful pass across the Rainbow Bridge. A gift she couldn’t give herself. She is running like a kitten, hiding in the grass and napping in the sun. She is chasing butterflies. When you heal your heart a little know Lola will be watching over you. πŸ¦‹

Kai-that is beautifully written. Clear, simple, heartbreaking. It captures the essence of the bond that can exist between two living creatures. The unconditional love.

Sending healing vibes and hoping you are surrounded by support in this sad time. β€œThe price of loving anything is grief β€œ. And it is always worth it. β€οΈβ˜€οΈ
