Today is the first of many anniversaries. There will be birthdays, a wedding anniversary,
holidays ~ and those days that were special only to us.
Each will hold a touch of sadness, yet each will hold a memory of joy and love.
Dear Poppy ~ my guy ~ we love you, and we miss you so very, very much.
Maggy can often be found now, resting on the night table beside our bed.
She's always liked spending time on a window ledge, though had never chosen
this window ~ now it seems to be her special place ~
keeping Poppy company.
Zoey spent most of her days with Poppy, in his office, curled up in his in-box.
She seemed lost these last few weeks as I worked to dismantle the office area.
Now that his in-box has been moved to my desk,
Zoey is comfortable once again.
Anniversaries and milestones are so difficult. :( Like rocks in a river, the sharp edges dull over time, leaving them more beautiful and less likely to hurt you, but it takes time.
ReplyDeleteWhat a funny picture of Zoey in the inbox. Her fur poking through the wires made us smile.
Big hugs to you Ann and Zoey and Maggie, good job keeping Poppy company. Take care.
ReplyDeleteWe're glad that both Zoey and Maggy have found comfortable places to be while they think of Poppy xxx
ReplyDeleteHow lovely that Zoey and Maggy are still sitting with their Poppy Vic - especially Zoey still in "their in box" and Maggy by his photograph.
ReplyDeleteTake care.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Oh bless their little hearts and yours dear friend. It's so hard for everyone.
ReplyDeleteChange is very hard for all of you. We hope you are able to find consolation in the many beautiful memories of happy days together.

We are keeping all the Zoolatry Girls in our thoughts as you adjust. Hugs & Love,
ReplyDeleteEven us kitties find ways to be close to those who left us. We continue to purr each day as you face special days and hope you are comforted knowing there are those of us who care.
ReplyDeleteZoey, so glad you are comfortable again....but look so uncomfortable at the same time! So precious. We continue to purr for you every day.
ReplyDeleteContinuing to send you all Light and Love, Ann.
ReplyDelete(((Hugs)))
The first year (or two) definitely is the hardest. I wouldn't take your grief away, but I would ease the sharp pain of it, if I could. Soften it.
Peace and Blessings.
That is so touching! xx
ReplyDeleteMaking adjustments. I am glad that the new location for the in box seems to work.
ReplyDeleteYes, furries are lost, confused and sad too when someone they love has passed. They can be a comfort in grief.
ReplyDeleteWe send you all our best love and hugs.
ReplyDeleteFirsts are very difficult. Each one has special memories attached. You're still in our purrs and prayers.

Anniversaries will soon be a time to smile and remember all the good memories. Treat yourself on these days.

Such changes can be difficult for everyone. Our continued thoughts-
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely precious pictures, especially the first one. We are glad the three of you have each other. (((hugs)))
ReplyDeleteHow sweet the kitties have their favorite spots to remember their daddy.
ReplyDeleteBirthdays and anniversaries are hard. I agree with Sam--treat yourself on those special days.
Each milestone is a heart-break. Each memory a blessing. I know it is not near enough, but we are sending comfurting purrs to you always.
ReplyDeleteLove, TK, Squashies, Pip and dee
The first of everything are the worst. I love how both sweeties are staying close to their poppy. Please take care and we send love. Carol and GJ and Barrie too x

I hope you know that the whole blogosphere will be here for you, with you, for every one of the days like this one. Hugs
ReplyDeleteIs it ok that I think it's funny to say that Zoey is comfortable again in the in box? Because that looks anything but comfortable!
It does no matter if it is a 'first', 'fifth', 'tenth' or whatever. Those special days will hold memories and sadness. Hopefully the memories linger and the sadness wanes.
ReplyDeleteBig purrs and hugs to you!!
ReplyDeleteSending you some very special hugs.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful photos but very sad feelings. xxoo Patty & Bhu
