My celebration of my life and love for Chynna

Today is 1 year to the day that I was officially declared cancer free. This is the day the pathology report came back. I still have a long road ahead of me with frequent follow-ups over the next 4 years, but each year is a celebration.

On July 3, 2010 I made the hardest decision ever: To help my soul-mate kitty Chynna to the Rainbow Bridge. She was over 18 years and while still loving, her health was declining and she was wasting away.

I had made a promise to her when she first adopted me, that I wouldn't cling to her and cause her to suffer if her health came to a point where it was declining beyond help. I kept that promise and let her go while she still had her kitty dignity. My heart breaks everyday, but I also know that I made the right decision for her.

I miss her a great deal and I like to think that she still hovers around me, watching over me and keeping me company.

So I created this image to celebrate my life and the love between a cat and her human.

I hope you enjoy viewing it as much as I enjoyed creating it

Wow! The image is great!

Congratulations on your cancer free year! May all your years be cancer free!

I know the feeling of letting a soul mate go. My darling Pollýanna vas my soulmate for 12 years. I will never find that kind of connection again. The vet was going to come to our home to help her to the Rainbow Bridge, but she passed away a few hours prior to when the vet had scheduled to come. She held her dignity untill her little body couldn't do any more and at that point, when I realized she was suffering and no cure available, I had to make that terribly hard decission.
She meowed "differently" on a monday, but seemed otherwise ok, I still took her to the vet right away (I could feel something was wrong), and she died on a saturday morning. Her birthday is in 7 days, she would have been 15 now. Like you, I believe she is around.

What a wonderful expression of love and peace and acceptance. It was especially touching to me having also battled cancer and losing a soul-mate kitty. Thank you so much.
