Shadow was one of Socks' kittens. She was black and white like her mum, but she had more white on her face, and she had very large, bat-like ears. In fact we used to call her 'bat-cat'! She used to sneak around all the time like a little secret agent, which was why we called her Shadow. We often wondered if maybe she was part of some cat secret service...! Little Shadow was killed on the busy road outside our house - she was only just 1 year old. She is survived by her two brothers, Sparky and Carbonel. We miss her so much, but hope she is having fun in heaven with our other cats Spice, Socks and Poselcat, and our little boy, George.
Precious Love
The agony is so great...
and yet I will stand it.
Had I not loved so very much...
I would not hurt so much.
But God knows I would not want to diminish
that precious love...
By one fraction of an ounce.
I will hurt...
And I will be grateful for that hurt
For it bears witness to the depth of my love.
And for that I will be eternally grateful.

THERE IS A NEW STAR SHINING IN THE SKY TONIGHT...
by Sarah Hartwell
There is an old belief that the stars shining in the night sky are the
spirits of those who have died. They have shed their earthly bodies and
exchanged them for bodies made of light; thousands upon thousands of our
dear departed friends all promoted to glory in the night sky. There is
another saying that the brightest flame burns the shortest.
My friend, you were the brightest star in my own universe. While I burn
on, my flame dimmed by grief and despair at your passing, the stars are
watching me. They are too far away for me to touch, just as you have
gone somewhere I cannot follow until my own star-time comes. They
cannot be held close for comfort, just as I can no longer hold you
close, though I held you close to comfort you in your final hours. We
were together for such a short time, but the stars will burn forever.
One day I will grow tired of this earthbound body, my own star-time will
come and my spirit will soar into the sky to burn with all those friends
who have gone before me. On the inky cloth of space we will be reunited
in constellations of joy. Until then, my flame burns low and dim and
cold without you. Through my tears I look upwards to see if you are
watching me and what do I see?
There is a new star shining in the sky tonight.
the pain never goes away, we lost our poor oskacat at just over a year old on the country lane near us, didn't think he ever went down there, take care xxx
