Sally, Thank you so much for your personal support. You are so good and kind to give so much attention to all of us. I agree with and am comforted by all that you have said here.
Yes, she was a beautiful and loving spirit. I touched a little upon that in the other email to the list. And, yes I do feel blessed to have had such a beautiful soul come into my life. I just have to get past the sad and somber part so that my entire thoughts will be of the happiness and joy Leeloo gave me. Thank you very much for your candle. I'm sure your candle, as well as a few others, lit the way for her. Before she left us, I pictured in my mind for Leeloo all the things that she loved. Playing, laying at her favorite spots, giving and receiving loving attention, etc. I was hoping this would stick with her whichever direction she would go. I feel very warm for your words. Sometimes, it can be about comforting the ones left behind. You have done this for me so well.

I started my previous message to you last night, then fell asleep and finished it when I woke up in the wee hours, but I should have checked my e-mail first and I would have known that Leeloo didn't make it through the night, so my message was so many unnecessary words. I am so sorry, but I think you knew the end for her was very near. She chose to pass on her own and spare you having to take her in for an assisted crossing in a strange place. Perhaps her knowing that is what you were prepared to do for her because you loved her so and didn't want to see her suffer gave her the resolve to hasten her crossing. Without a doubt, not only was Leeloo a beautiful kitty in the flesh, she has a loving and beautiful spirit. Not only was she blessed to have found you to be her human caretaker, it seems you were also blessed to have had such a sweet kitty soul to share your life, if only for a short while. We cannot always measure life in terms of its longevity. Sounds like Leeloo managed to put a lot of quality into a short amount of time, for both of you. I did light a candle for Leeloo last night...hope its light was shining brightly enough to warm and light her way and that she found her brother, Milo, and other loving kitty souls to greet and welcome her. She is in good company. Sharing your sadness... Sally in San Jose
