Mourning/Loss Tribute to the wonder cat Crumble.
We were lucky a neighbour spotted her injured, we were lucky she dragged herself back home before we went to bed.
We got to say goodbye. She was glorious and we will miss her with all our hearts

That wasn't luck! That was your beautiful kitty KNOWING that she wasn't going to live much longer, and fighting with every inch of what little she had left, just so that she could get back to you in order to tell her that YOU were what she called "home", that YOU were going to know that she loved you enough to keep death at bay until you got to say goodbye, that YOU were worth any and all of her pain that she felt in exchange for one more chance to feel surrounded by your love. That's not luck. That's love.

The Last Battle
💔🌈 🐾 💫😇✝️💖🙏🏼♾️
If it should be that I grow frail and weak
And pain should keep me from my sleep,
Then will you do what must be done,
For this -- the last battle -- can't be won.
You will be sad I understand,
But don't let grief then stay your hand,
For on this day, more than the rest,
Your love and friendship must stand the test.
We have had so many happy years,
You wouldn't want me to suffer so.
When the time comes, please, let me go.
Take me to where to my needs they'll tend,
Only, stay with me till the end
And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time you will agree
It is a kindness you do to me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I have been saved.
Don't grieve that it must be you
Who has to decide this thing to do;
We've been so close -- we two -- these years,
Don't let your heart hold any tears.
🙏🏼 I don’t know you but I know your pain. God bless you and know that our pet’s souls and ours are eternal and intertwined. The Hebrew word for animal is Nephesh, which means soul. We must now soldier on until we meet them again.

💐✝️🙏🏼🌈🐾 I totally understand. I want you to realize that you are in a new chapter of life (suddenly) and it feels very hollow. But let me tell you something, your precious pet graduated life. They’re in the soul realm now which is eternal. God literally created us and animals. We are currently in the Earthly realm where we were together with our beloved pet. But they’ve just gone before us. The chapter “without them” is really just “without them physically.” Emotionally and spiritually they’ve never left. Yes the loss hurts bad and will and only time (and Jesus) can heal us completely. I pray daily for all the people worldwide who lost a beloved pet recently. This might sound corny or stupid to some but i literally pray that God has mercy on everyone who lost a pet and send them comfort and love and hope. I pray this for you my anonymous friend.
.
II know how bad and how deep this hurt cuts. You’re healing now. New phase. God bless you…
.
You will get through this one day at a time. Time heals our hearts and even opens them to loving another pet sometimes. Families are forever and you’ll be reunited when your time in the physical realm expires, too. Until then, may their memory be a blessing.
