Dear Caroline, I am so glad that you found comforts being in the group. I know that I was not the only one who cried reading your email regarding Monkee's passing -- we felt your pain as it felt we lost our own. You are never alone, because we all have been there, and it's so easy to understand what you go through -- the pain of losing our precious little soul may never go away, but every day, we become a tiny bit stronger to live with the pain.. and embrace the love we have for them more and more for the rest of our lives.. ----- Original Message ----- From: Caroline Kaufmann<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, July 17, 2007 7:50 PM Subject: OT: Comforting Emails
The emails I have received in the wake of Monkee's passing have really comforted me and I wanted you all to know that. I have forwarded them to my mother and she said they are "treasures" that need to be printed and kept forever. I plan to make a big photo collage of Monkee pictures to frame- he really was the most beautifully marked cat I'd ever seen and I never want to forget that and I always want to have that around for people to be able to marvel at him- even if they never knew him. The emails from this group will also be something I take with me and hold onto forever. I was afraid at first that your emails would be too hard to read-- that I wouldn't be able to get through them. But it wasn't like that at all. In fact it was the opposite-- that I can't imagine not having had these comforting words sent to me. Yesterday, I felt like all I needed was a hug, just lots of hugs. And the only person around to do that for me was my mom. But in a way, I felt like I got hugs through your words and I wanted to thank you all for that. God bless the internet...and I really mean that! My family and friends- other than my mother of course- have been stand-offish- they are afraid I don't want to talk or that if do talk, I will cry and maybe I don't want to cry at that time,...so that means that none of them have called to talk. And honestly, that pretty much sucked. But having this group has more than made up for that and I really appreciate all you did for me and Monkee, and all you will continue to do for me and other people in the future. You people are truly blessed with a special gift. -Caroline ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Local listings, incredible imagery, and driving directions - all in one place!<http://g.msn.com/8HMBENUS/2737??PS=47575>
