He did fight with all he had. Right up till the end. Jake's eyes remind bright and clear and even in his weakened state, he would follow me around and always wanted to be near me. I like to think it was because it gave him comfort to be with me. He sure gave me lots of comfort. Oh my... I miss him so much.

Jake was good at unconditional love. And he taught me a lot about trust and love. He is so special. It's just a shame he had to go so soon. Thank you for the prayers. I really need them.

You both shared a bond that can't be replaced.

R.I.P. Jake. Run and play free at the bridge. You won't be forgotten by those who you have touched.
You hit the nail on the head! The bond I had with Jake, will probably never be replaced. It will always be special and unique. Thank you.

Thanks so much. I was the one that was blessed and I thank God for it!

He was such a beautiful baby and a strong fighter.

I am sure my Chuckie has welcomed him to the bridge and they have become buddies.



RIP sweet Jake
I'm so comforted that Jake will have so many good buddies over the bridge. Thank you!

Thank you. That means a lot to me right now.

Jake will be missing you just as much as your missing him, but he'll be ok


Have a wonderful time at the bridge you gorgeous sweet boy, but mind you keep looking down on your mum and Peaches to make sure their safe until you see them again
My dear Susan... You must be REALLY hurting if you're feeling my pain right now! Would you like some Ibuprofen? Some Lortab, perhaps?
Seriously... thanks for sharing these hard times with me. You've been a rock for me and kept me going the last few days. Especially in the wee hours of the morning before I get ready for work (even though it isn't so early for you!). I've always loved getting online between 3:30 A.M. and 4:30 A.M. and knowing you would be here, even before I lost little Jakey! It gives me a lot of comfort and I don't feel so lonely.

Thank you for remembering my Jakey and thinking of me.

Your tribute to Jake brought me to tears, reflecting the love you had for him and the bond you shared. He was such a special boy and you were a wonderful mom to him.
I'm thinking of both of you.
Thanks for the lovely thoughts. I'm overwhelmed at the massive support these last couple of days!

Thank you. I think that was the hardest part... always fighting for him so hard made it that much harder to let go.

Keep on praying for me! Because right now I'm taking it one day at a time. I'm sure you are going through the same. Jake and Hallie were both special and will be in my heart forever.

Jake had that affect on people. Even people who weren't really cat lovers would fall in love with him when they came over and met him! Of course I wasn't surprised because I knew just how special he was. I thank you, friend. You're support has always meant the world to me.

Tammy, I just saw this. I am at a loss for words. I am SO sorry. He was a special boy, and none of us will ever forget him, or his valiant fight. Now, he is free from pain, and will never have to fight again.

RIP Jake.

Tammie,

I was so heartbroken to log in tonight and see that your precious boy has gone to The Bridge. I can't say anything to make it better but you have to know that he couldn't have asked for a better Mom in the world and you need to take comfort in that.
Many hugs.

Just before the dawn

C. Austin

In the moment just before dawn

The moon sheds her tears that glisten

Like jewels upon the earth

As the sun looks upon the earth

And sees the tears shed by the moon

He smiles and says to the moon

“ Do not weep because you can not see me

For I see the gift of your love

With every dawn of every dayâ€




i read your story and i feel you loss
jake will be there in you dreams(“ Do not weep because you can not see me
For I see the gift of your love With every dawn of every dayâ€)

Those prayers are really needed now and are appreciated so much.

Hope, He was a special boy. Wasn't he? And now he is playing over the bridge with Stanley.

Every word each person says here has helped. And in my heart, I know I did everything I could and then some. But you know how it is... my head keeps telling me maybe there was more I could have done. I just miss him too much.

Today has been hard. First day at home all day with no Jake. I started to vacuum this morning and here and there I'd see little tufts of Jake's hair and I'd stop the vacuum. It's like I'm vacuuming up the last little bit of him I have left.

I didn't go to work today. Just can't make myself go. Last night I was going through some pictures of Jake. Some from before he got sick and some after (and in between). Peaches has been very clingy. She wants to be laying on me or right up against me all the time. She's meowing a lot, which is highly unusual for her. Poor baby doesn't understand where her buddy went. Or maybe she does know... She seemed to know he was sick at least.

I am just hearing of your loss now and I am so sorry! I read Jake's story when I first became a member and he truly was a fighter. You were an amazing meowmy and Jake will never forget what you have done for him. You and Jake are in my thoughts and prayers

Tammie, your words brought tears to my eyes. Your love for Jake has always shone through in every post you've ever made about him. There was never any doubt that your love for him is and always has been deep and special.

Sending healing prayers for you since Jake is now is a place free of pain and your pain for your loss is beginning. Our hearts are with you.

That's what I figured. So I just spend more time with her then usual and let her just hang out with me. Plus give her special treats.

Thank you! I know I've said this before but I truly am amazed at how many people I didn't even know about, followed Jake's story. Thanks for sharing that with me.

My love for him is special. And I really could see right through his eyes to his soul. I love looking in those eyes.
