Christine Burel - 19 Nov 2005 20:04 GMT
I am so sad to tell you all that we had to give Omar the kindest gift and
let him go today.  I sort of knew in my heart of hearts yesterday but wanted
to give him what chance we could.  The ultrasound showed some swollen lymph
nodes in his abdomen and also some fluid; it was obvious that this was the
last effort we could do without making him suffer.  The IVs weren't making
much of any change in his condition.  Poor baby, he purred for us but he
looked so very tired. Celeste, Byron, and Alex were there and we all said
our goodbyes and we let him go -- to join Frodo and Shetra, Fizz, Shadow,
and all the other furry rpca buddies at the Bridge.

Thank you all for being there for us.
hugs,
Christine

I'm sorry to hear this. You did what you had to do, however hard and
painful.

I've lit a candle in my window in honour of Omar. He has no more pain now.

Many *hugs* to you.

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet
goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run
and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and
comfortable.
   All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and
vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just
as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
   The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each
miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops
and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body
quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green
grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet,
you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy
kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and
you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from
your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
*** " And nothing but peace and the love of your Dear Friends"****

This should be added   ***
****"Always remember We will be there even if you can't see me. We are
always watching and Waiting.  That cool puff of air you feel, that fleeting
touch , the feeling you have that I was walking across your bed, that moment
you swear you can hear us, that flicker of movement out of the corner of
your eye.  Is just our way of saying I love you and I am with you always
even in the darkest time We Will Always Be there"***

It was time to let him go join all of his friends at the Bridge.  It
is hard to let them go even though you know that there won't be any
more needles or pain for him.

Oh no.

There will be *two* candles in the window tonight. One for Fizz and one for
Omar. I do so hope they'll enjoy each others company at the Bridge, swapping
shtoopid hoomin anecdotes and playing togehter like old friends.

It sounded that Omar was a pretty sick kitty; I hoped he might improve,
at least for awhile.

Omar will be greeted by my two RB kitties, my sweet, gentle Blizzard,
and my always happy and playful Lucky.

I will light a candle for Omar, and purrs are on the way for the broken
hearts at your home.

Like so many, he came and was gone way before what seems right.

So many kitties meeting at the bridge lately.  Omar knew much love and
play with you, and shared his own furry little heart as you did your
own.  Incense is lit for all of you that I have so enjoyed hearing
stories about over this year.  Prayers for comfort and strength.

Sad news indeed. But you did the right thing for him.

It's good that everone had the chance to wish him a good journey.

Purrs that, in time, the joy of your many memories of him will come
to outweigh the grief of his loss.

Purrs.

I've already sealed up your card, with wishes for Omar.  I hope they
hold Christmas/Solstice at the rainbow bridge, so he can have one while
he waits for the rest of you to join him.

I'm so sorry about this. I know first hand that this is a very
difficult decision. It's nice that his family was there to make their
goodbyes - this just isn't possible so in so many cases.

Candles to light his way, and my condolences to everyone left behind.

I'm also so sad and tearful about Omar.  He must have felt loved to
have everyone there for him at the end.  You had a very cute picture
of him being kissed by Celeste a while back.  Omar was smiling, and
that said it all about how much a part of your family he was.
