Oh Pam, I'm so sorry, so very sorry. I know how much you're hurting; please, please don't beat yourself up. You rescued Lily and gave her the love and compassion she deserved before she crossed over. You made the last few days of her short little life safe and loving and comfortable. If it weren't for you, she would have passed hungry, cold, and alone. You were sent to each other for a reason, and if that reason was for you to help her on her journey, so be it. You and your sister cared for her, and that's what matters.

Sending so many (((hugs))) your way, sweetie.

Rest in peace, dear Lily, and know that you were loved.

I am so, so sorry to hear this Pam. But she is now with Banshee and my Misty who will look after her, she will never be alone again. You did all you could but Someone else wanted her back home. RIP lil Lilly.

That is so sad after you hoped to rescue her. But do not feel guilty - you really did all you could and gave her the most important thing, love.

Pam, I am just so hearbroken about Lily --- I felt as if I knew her. Don't torment yourself with all the "ifs" --- I don't know if one day would have made a big difference, but at least she had the feeling of love and affection. She is now at Rainbow Bridge with all of our Rainbow Angels there to watch and protect her

Let's talk soon -- I'll call you in the next couple of days.

Thank you. Just thank you for being here. My sister and I are having a difficult time getting over Lily....even though she was only with us for a very short time, we had fallen completely in love with her and we were looking forward to being able to play with her and cuddle with her.

Sandy, my sister, is really second-guessing everything. I told her she needs to stop because it will make her crazy. And sometimes, despite everything, little babies pass away. And I think that, sometimes the older we get, the more it hurts.

Lily knew that we loved her very much and at least she went to the Bridge with a name and with love. For that I am thankful.

And I am thankful for all of you, too. You have no idea how much you've helped me.

Pam
and please send some
to Sandy. You both are wonderful, loving woman and neither of you should feel any guilt or be second-guessing anything, seriously!!! Think of the love (and yes, a name
) you gave this tiny little kitten. She had a home if only for a day or so, but can you imagine if she perished outside alone, cold and unloved. That would make me very, very sad for Lily
. She had you and Sandy and she was able to pass to the bridge with your help, peacefully.
You both did a wonderful, kind, loving thing for Lily, OH, it just melts my heart how you saved her from dying alone outside. I am just sorry you and your sister's heart are hurting but sometimes these little ones come into our lives for a reason, so we can help them peacefully and gently to the bridge

At least you tried Pam. More than a lot of people would have done.
