I thought of you with love today,
But that is nothing new.
I thought about you yesterday,
And the day before that, too.
I think of you in silence.
I often speak your name.
But all that’s left of you are memories,
And your pictures in a frame.
Your friendship is a treasure
From which I’ll never part.
God has you in His keeping.
I have you in my heart.

I’m so sorry - I know these are old entries but I could so relate to your pain from Calico disappearing. All 3 of my cats’ deaths have been very hard to get through - I still can’t bear to look at photos for long and the last one died in 2020! Not having a body to be able to say goodbye properly is awful - it makes a huge difference I know. Hope things are a bit easier now.

Hi, Marg. Thank you for your caring words. The pain is much more manageable now. The hardest part was thinking about her remains being scavenged upon or destroyed by the elements. She is on the Rainbow Bridge now, so I am generally at peace. I watched that TED talk on losing a pet probably about a dozen times, though.

I'm glad to hear that. I know what you mean - one of mine was run over and it was a couple of days later before someone said they'd seen a cat matching his description on the busy main road beside the house but I couldn't find the body. It was just awful but luckily someone else posted that they'd seen a cat's body lying on grass nearby and it was him. I was so glad but had to keep him in the house for a couple of days more just to be able to accept it and say goodbye to him. I still think of him every time I pass that spot and that was 6 years ago.
