I go through that too,

one of the new kittens we got is the spitting image of Taz when she was a kitten. It's hard not to miss the ones that are gone, when you have a daily reminder.

Oh Spifire!

I wish. Cry inside every time that I look at Kelly (my new partner). She looks just like a younger version of Christa. Of course I won't let Kelly know that.

No, canine. You wouldn't have looked silly.

Everyone cries...even men! But my point was is that you have gotten to a place within your grief that you can now enjoy the happy memories without always feeling the sadness part of the loss.

Thanks Uni. I really loved her.

these posts are so moving.

They brought up the memories of my cat; Taz, who recently died. They also remind me of my dog Sheba, who is now 13 and not doing so good and I know the time will come when I have to say "see you later" to her. Thanks for sharing with us. Thanks for the tears of memories.

Ann,

You have no idea! If only I could teach them to drive.

I'm glad too Spitfire. I would have looked silly.

I'm glad it made you smile and not cry.

I guess that shows that you have evolved in your grief.
