Farewell Friday

Come visit me from now on at the Cats P.


I would like to dedicate my final post to my lovely Charmer Bonnie who crossed to the Rainbow Bridge yesterday.

The Woman took this picture a few months back right on our front porch. All three of us were out there with her and were enjoying the early Spring air and shower. The fresh sniffs of the wet ground and the daffodils poking their heads out of the ground. All of a sudden this amazing rainbow showed up right outside our window. (Even more amazing the Woman was able to capture it).

For a brief moment we all looked out the window and listened to the rain and stared at the beauty in front of our small corner of this planet. I know that so many of our friends are at the Bridge looking over us. I think this moment sums up my feelings on life- it is fleeting and beautiful but the memory never fades. I'll see you someday my Bonnie and while I never met you in life I'll know you immediately at the Bridge.

All of my Charmers are special to me (truly, you all have such amazing qualities) but Bonnie was one of the originals, in fact one of 2 who inspired me to start the Charmers. I will never forget her. Because of her my Woman discovered Celiac's Disease which was making her so unhealthy and miserable without knowing what was wrong. Bonnie's mom told her about it and for that we are all eternally grateful. Bonnie changed all of our lives.

I always wonder when I see a rainbow if it has come to pick up a kittie or woofie. What do you think?

Our hearts are heavy with losing such a good furiend.

Thank you, Chase and Lauren. This is beautiful. Now I'm at a loss for words. Over the weekend, we had windows open and Bonnie sat and talked to me and the boy while we did the gardening. I think she was telling us how to do it right. She LOVED sitting in open windows, feeling the sun and smelling the outdoors. We saw a rainbow last weekend but my pictures of it were terrible. Your woman did much better.

I'm sure Bonnie is happily bossing everyone around at the Rainbow Bridge. She went quickly, with dignity. We love you, too.
