Oh, Debby, I'm sooooo sorry! I'll keep you AND Merlin in my prayers. (((((HUGS))))) I know nothing anyone can say can bring him back or make it hurt less, but please know everyone here cares about you!
You just have to remember that you were making your poor kitty happy, so instead of dying old and sad Merlin died young and happy. Because of that Merlin was happy to the end and probably beyond it's days.
Oh Debby!!!! I'm crying too, I know how much Merlin means to you. He was your baby, your sweet cat. He was happy with you, know that above everything. You made him as happy and loved as he made you. I'm SO sorry!!!!! ((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))
Oh my god... I'm so sorry Debby. I can't even imagine what you're going through. I feel so terrible this happened. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts. *hugs*
Debby, I don't know what to say, so the cats and I are sending you hugs and purrs. Take as long as you need to greive, because I know he was so close to your heart.
I'm so sad to hear about the loss of your furbaby Merlin. I will say many prayers for you both. I wish we could all be there to cry with you and give you lots of love and comfort. Take care of yourself and know that we really understand your grief.
I am sending my deepest condolences to you hon. I know Merlin wasn't just a 'pet' to you. That he was a soul mate and a friend. He loved you just as much as you loved him, and he couldn't have had a better person than you to love and care for him. You will get to visit him again, and what a joyous reunion that will be.
Until that day comes know that everyone here loves you, and will be here for you no matter what. Take all the time you need, and if there is anything that I can do for you in any fashion please do not hesitate to ask. *BIG HUGS and prayers going your way!*
I am so terribly sorry for your loss. I wish I could make it better for you. I, like so many others stated, don't know what to say at this sad time. My heart is breaking for you!
Debby dearest! as soon as I saw your email I knew something bad must have happened so I rushed in here. What horrible news!
I am so sorry about Merlin! I feel like I've lost him too in a sense - as I knew him from the time he was born. Please take all the time you need to grieve - we all sympathize with your sorrow.
Oh, Debby. I can't believe soething so horrible happened to you of all people...
My heart goes out to you, and I hope you'll be back as soon as possible (when you're ready), so we can embrace you and show you how much we care. I know how much these hurts, you will have to give it some time.
Debby, be strong for us!!
Im sending my love and (((((hugs))))) to you and hope you feel better soon.
Debby my darling. What a horribly sad thing to happen. I think we all have that special little kitty soul mate and I'm sure each one of us imagined this scenario played out in our own minds.
Nevertheless, until it actually happens, as it has to you now, we will be unable to truly imagine the pain and distress the loss of a deeply loved kitty causes.
I'm really at a loss as to what to say apart from I am thinking of you and praying hard that the pain gets better quickly and also that you have somebody close by with you to share your grief and comfort you.
Thanks for being so brave and coming to tell us about poor Merlin - sharing your sadness when all you want to do is curl up and cry.
