My Beautiful Bellah

This is my Bellah , Patches and on the end Grace

She was so sweet.

Oh i've just seen Grace in fur pics and she's gorgeous

Awwww you've got a gorgeous family there, and Bellah is a sweet angel in heaven playing with her new friends at the bridge from TCS

Bellah really was a beauty...
her face is a picture of love itself.
Of course Patches and Gracie are adorable too.

I am so sorry to hear you lost your beautiful Bellah

I know how much it hurts, every day will get a little easier for you... take it one day at a time and I think it is a good thing that you have taken in a new fur baby Grace; she will help you through this.

God Bless

I'm so sorry for the loss of your Beautiful Girl. Rest in Peace Bellah.

I'm sorry you lost Bellah. And I hope you find some comfort with Gracie. When I lost my Jake, I was devastated. Short story is, within a couple of weeks I found Maxx and adopted him. He is so totally different from Jake but he kept my depression to a minimum with his light, playful spirit. I think Jake sent him. So maybe Bellah also, has sent Gracie to help you through this.

I'm sorry for your loss. I think it's wonderful that you are giving another homeless kitty a loving home.

Thank you all.... I truly think its been the public and private support I have gotten here that has helped me from slipping into a depression.

I have 7 children , 2 are now adults , the younger 5 have various forms of disabilities ranging from ADHD to Autism.

My Bellah , was my time out , my quiet my peace.... its been really hard to find any of that theses days.

I feel like she gave me so much more than I could ever have given her and she didn't even know it.

I did my final act as Bellahs companion today ... I was able to find Maine Coon Rescue , they changed their domain name from .com to .net and I reported her death as was required in the adoption contract.

I'm still so sad.

When Bellah died my husband buried her against the fence across from my kitchen window . We had just done a project with the kids making paw prints out of a cement like material that when it dried they decorated them.

So we lined Bellah's grave in a rectangle shape with those stone flower bed trimmers that have 3 little humps per section . We planted a plant that is green and white that comes back every year and we put the paw print beside it. Then we put 2 solar lights at the top corners so that even at night I can look out and see her.

I looked out tonight and the solar lights are not powered up because of the weather it make me sad to I decided to post.

It's almost been a month since Bellah went to the bridge. Many changes have happened. We adopted Grace and another kit that sort of spoke to me while I was signing the adoption papers ... her name is Bridget. Grace wasn't happy here so she went back to the shelter after 10 days of living on my pantry shelf.

Bridget is doing well and has adopted me ... This past Monday we adopted another kit named Tessa. Serena ( who was never to be a long term kit with us ) went home last weekend.

Now we have our final mix Patches , Bridget , Tessa and of course Zeus our dog skin rug.

The days are getting easier .... I only fill up once a day now when I talk about her. I'm getting to the point that the good memories are able to come out and the sadness is more in check.

None of this is my doing... I think Bridget knows that I'm sad or something. She sleeps with me and spends allot of time with me. She has been a huge part of mending my heart.

This is making me tear up so I'm going to stop now.... Ill probably write more in the coming months.

One year later ... it still hurts... I still miss her beyond words.

My new Church ( Catholic ) says animals don't have a soul... Unless Jesus himself comes down from above and tells me that I wont believe it.

I still miss you my Bellah ... and when I get to heaven , I know you will be there waiting for me.

I am sorry for your loss R.I.P Bellah

I am so sorry about your Bellah Good luck with Grace - and no, it is not too soon if her adoption comes from your heart
