Davidson, an angel gracing heavens door

Thanks so much everyone... another night has come upon us, and its hardest at these times. Especially when Harley wants to play, and there's no one besides me to play with Its not the same, since he's been with Davidson for almost a year now

Other than that, we're doing well, hanging in there and saying many prayers

I am still thinking of you, John, and Harley, Mackenzie.

I'm Still Here

Friend, please don't mourn for me
I'm still here, though you don't see.
I'm right by your side each night and day
and within your heart I long to stay.

My body is gone but I'm always near.
I'm everything you feel, see or hear.
My spirit is free, but I'll never depart
as long as you keep me alive in your heart.

I'll never wander out of your sight-
I'm the brightest star on a summer night.
I'll never be beyond your reach-
I'm the warm moist sand when you're at the beach.

I'm the colorful leaves when fall comes around
and the pure white snow that blankets the ground.
I'm the beautiful flowers of which you're so fond,
The clear cool water in a quiet pond.

I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in the spring,
The first warm raindrop that April will bring.
I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine,
and you'll see that the face in the moon is mine.

When you start thinking there's no one to love you,
you can talk to me through the Lord above you.
I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees,
and you'll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze.

I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep
and the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep.
I'm the smile you see on a baby's face.
Just look for me, friend, I'm everyplace!

Thank you all so much, I am going to be printing out all of this and put it in his scrapbook, along with all the loving and thoughtful PMs that I've recieved

Sweet Davidson

Such a sweet lovable little boy I never expected to see in the bridge

My heart goes out to you Kenzie

I will be praying for you all.

It is always a very sad day when another bright light leaves this realm

today heaven glows a little more brightly,and the angels sing a glorious song
for the angels are re-united

R.I.P. Davidson

I just can't get little Davidson out of my head and even more than that I can't begin to imagine what you must be feeling. As someone else said the uncontrollable is my worst nightmere. Last semester I had a class on Life & Loss. For my final project I put together a binder on pet loss & I found some things I had written at the time of Smokey's death. This is one of my favorites:

Dear Mom,

I saw you crying again today. I wish I could stop your pain. It might help you to know how beautiful it is here. Beauty beyond anything on earth. Oh, by the way it took some time but I found Cookie. We are spending lots of time together. It was a lot of work because there are so many animals waiting for their loved ones. I've met some cats who knew you from the shelter. A couple even told me they would be staying with us when you arrive. But, Oh Mom ther are so many who never knew love. I know you won't mind but I've told a few they can stay with us too. After all in heaven the house is always as big as you need it to be. Mom I have to go, Cookie wants to play, but I'll see you when you get here.

Love Smokey.

Wow - that was the most touching of all I think. Aw - I'm tearing up now - dang.

I'm glad people liked it. I actually feel better today after having shared that. For me I found writting poetry helps.

Hey Mackenzie, just wondering how you all are doing? How's John handling it? I always worry about the blokes - they can't let out emotions as easy as us girls can, and I know when my beloved Byron was killed my DH was so upset, and he tried bottling it, which of course didn't help at all.

to you, John and Harley.

John is doing okay as well. The first few days, we would cry together. Everytime I would break down... which was VERY often, he would just sit with me and hold me, and we would cry together. He's been the best boyfriend I could have asked for in a time like this. He's very concerned of how I've been feeling, and extremely thoughtful

We're doing better, much better- we talk about him often, and I talk to Harley about him too, he gives me headbutts and has been VERY affectionate to me We need eachother right now, and he's not ashamed of it

You know you're in my heart and prayers Mackenzie. Just sent you a PM.

Thank you so much Kass

I'm so sorry for your loss.
Davidson was and is much loved.
My thoughts are with you and John and Harley.
Play happily over the rainbow bridge Davidson.

Wow, I was really surprised when I saw this thread here. I haven't been around on the forums for a while, but I remember back when you got Davidson and there were pictures in the Cat Lounge. I'm really sorry to hear about him. Clover isn't even a year old yet, and if something like that happened to her, I wouldn't know what to do.. I was even sad when she was gone for the night to get spayed.. it was too quiet without her around.

I hope you feel better soon, and we're all here for you!

RIP Davidson.

MacKenzie, I am so sorry to come back from vacation to read this. RIP Davidson. I don't know what else to say but just know that I am here for you also.

Dear Davidson,

It's been exactly 1 week since you left us, I miss you so much, we all do. I layed in bed last night and cried for you, wishing that things were different, wishing it was all a dream. I layed there, missing you, wishing you were the one cuddled up to me. But I also realized that you were with me for a reason. You needed me, and I needed you. But you weren't here forever, you were only with me for a short 9 months, but within those months, you showed me everything I needed to know about loving you. You were my pride and joy, my baby. Now that your gone, I still feel so empty without you, but my heart is full of our memories and your love for me

I hope you can hear us praying to you, we all pray to you daily, all day. Harley and I talk about you often, and soon, we will tell our new one about you- Bayley will love to hear how much you ment to us, when the time is right.

I hope you know that when we adopted him, we didn't replace you, that will never happen. We brought him home to celebrate your life, and to remind us that life is short, and he didn't have to stay in that kennel forever, he deserved to learn about love too, just like you taught me

He reminds me a lot of you. He cuddled with me last night when I was crying, just the way you did. He didn't leave my side once, sometimes I think you are guiding him, just as tho you are guiding me.

I really hope your having fun up past the Rainbow Bridge- playing with all of your new friends. I hope you can tell them about the rich, wonderful life fulll of love you had for your short stay.

I miss you so much today, just as I do everyday, but today is a little harder.

Please look out for me, Harley & John (even tho I know you weren't fond of him ) he misses you just as much.

I love you angel, I miss you
Meowmy

Beautiful tribute Kenz

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I haven't been around much lately so I just realized what happened and I'm shocked myself. I find myself tearing up a bit as I read how you feel about Davidson not being around because it's exactly how I felt when I lost a childhood dog of 13 years a few years ago, and we knew she wasn't long for this world because she was old and sick, but it didn't make it any easier.

For some reason lately I've had dreams about us losing Reeses and it hurts me to just think about it. When we brought her to get spayed I was so afraid we wouldn't get her back because the last and only other time I had a pet go under anesthesia, she died coming out of it. Some people don't realize that pets are family, and it's the same as if you lost a human family member.

I'm going to go give Reeses a hug for Davidson, whether she wants me to or not

Take care and take it day by day. The pain will subside eventually but the memories will never go away, so you'll always have those.

RIP Davidson
