Well, my darling boy - the tears are already streaming as I type. Yesterday I passed my first birthday without you for 20 years. But in 1989 I didnt know you, you were not even born - my world still lacked your warm, inquiring, loving presence. In 1989 I didnt have the bittersweet memory of my dearest furboy. For all the sadness I am so glad - so very glad - for all the other 19 birthdays you were in my life, bringing such joy and warmth and sharing with your presence. Brrrrpp, meow my darling.
You are with me
looking up, rubbing your head against me, purring, playing,
loving,
being loved,
forever
Goodnight sweet boy, pussycat bless, love you very much max, love you boy
Thankyou Max

JoMax, I dream of Kaffe many times - so very alive and happy and waiting, while he explores the new world he is is. A few months after he crossd over, I also dreamt of him in a veterinary scenario - alive. Perhaps these dreams are gifts given to us by a gracious God to comfort us.
That ring is awesome. I wear Kaffe's fur and claw clippings in a heart pendant around my neck. I've only taken the necklace off a couple of ties to change the chain. It is my way of keeping my vow to him that he will always be in my heart and a reminder to myself that someday, I shall be "wearing" all my beloved fur babies about my person.

To my darling-
As the year closes I look back with tears - it was the year I lost my most precious catboy.
The next year cannot be as awful as the one going, but yet, I can't look forward because it will be one without you
Forgive me darling boy, I love you, I would give anything to wind it back 12 months...

So, a whole year has gone - walking around today I realised how absent he is & how my life will always lack that lovely warm presence of such a special catboy.
I wandered round the garden talking to him this morning - by the willow tree I planted with some of his ashes. I told him how empty my world was without him, how I would love him forever.
And I wrote a memorial poem:
One Year
My darling
one year ago I said goodbye to your physical being,
to your warmth, your beautiful soft fur, your voice
always 'talking' to me
to your paw on my face waking me
- your constant loving presence
My darling
all year I've thought of you every day
as I wake and as I go to bed
and many, many times between
I talk to you in the garden by the tree I planted for you,
indoors on your cushion where you liked to lie
I even look in the window as I come home sometimes
and remember you looking out at me
and wish, and wish
so much
And in these late still summer days I loved the most
I feel your loss so keenly,
I remember this time last year
I wish I'd known you were about to leave
I wish you had stayed longer
I wish I'd taken more time
forgive me, my darling,
forgive me
My darling
I will miss you forever
I will love you forever
I will hold your presence in my heart
I will imagine you still here with me
and wish, and wish
forever

Oh, JoMax.  Many, many {{{hugs}}}. The anniversaries, can be so painful at times. I know exactly what you mean about the season being a reminder. May you find peace to ease the pain of loss. |

Eventually they will understand,
Replied the glorious cat
For I will whisper into their hearts
That I am always with them
I just am....forever and ever and ever.

Thank you for sharing such a beautiful poem. I hope it helped you to write it. I know it touches on feelings many of us have, for the very special ones, who have gone on.
I have to tell you, I saw Marmite here, in a specialty store, a few days ago. I immediately thought of Max, though I never met him.
Peace and comfort to you.
