Today is a bad day for me. I heard our song on the radio -- "You Are The Woman" by Firefall but I would sing "You Are The Katie". I would play that song every morning and sing it to Katie and we would dance around the kitchen together.

Sometimes I have good days and them sometimes I have really bad days. There have even been those really really bad days where I can't get out of bed. I just wish I could have her back ... even if only for a minute. Just to hug her and kiss her one last time. She died so tragically and it haunts me. That day when Jim ran upstairs with her limp in his arms and I took her from him and held her. I was so scared. There was some blood coming from her mouth. I knew she was dead but we sped off to the vet anyway. It's like I can't get past that day. I can't see her as the happy little girl she was, all dressed up and with pretty bows in her hair. Whenever I think of her, my thoughts always go to that last day where she was lifeless and with blood coming from her mouth. Sorry to be so grim but that's the mood I'm in today.

I'm just so depressed right now.

I think I may take a half day and go home early to hang out with Codie and Tia -- they always cheer me up.

PS - By the way, the chorus to the song is:

You are the Katie that I've always dreamed of, I knew it from the start,
I saw you face and that's the last I've seen of my heart.

Jennifer, I cannot imagine what you are going through right now. How incredibly hard to lose such a beloved part of your family. You should take a half day off and celebrate Katie's life.

Forever Rest In Peace, little angel.

You should take a 1/2 day off. Seeing your other babies will make you smile.

That's what Jim always says ... that we should celebrate Katie's life and the time we spent with her. She was such a joy and never gave me a moment's grief. My favorite nickname for her was Katie Hot Lips because she was a majoy kissy fish and she would ONLY (and I mean only) kiss you on the lips. I really feel blessed to have had her love even if for only a short time ... she was my loyal companion.

Reading this just put a huge smile on my face!

My oldest yorkie, Hobbs, does this EXACT same thing! I can just picture her giving you lots of kisses on your lips! Did she put her ears back when she kissed you?

She sounds like such a sweetheart!

I would love to hear more about her, that is, if you feel like sharing. I think it would be nice to celebrate her life by sharing all the fun experiences you had together. Maybe it will put a smile on your face, too.

I agree...take 1/2 day and go home. My thoughts are with you.

I always say my babies are my therapy...I could have a really bad day but the minute I come home to them I have no choice but to smile again.

vainchick5 · 08-23-2006, 07:43 AM

I too miss hearing about Katie and how much her and Coco are alike, like long lost sisters. Sometimes when I put Katie's bows in Coco hair (Jen wanted Coco to have Katies hair bows when I went out there for Christmas), I feel like Coco feels Katie around her. She just plays on her own, I think Katie is playing with her. Go home Jen, be with Tee tee and Coda

I know this is hard for you, but just remember all of the good times with her. Call me if you need to talk babes.

JCarlson2004 · 08-23-2006, 07:44 AM

Thanks for all your kind responses. If only I could turn back time and get a few more minutes with her.

But it wasn't meant to be. Katie is my mom's guardian angel now.

Breeze · 08-23-2006, 11:43 AM

Jennifer, I'm sorry. You and Katie were in my thoughts often after her passing and you both still are now.

Hugs

Aww Fran, I know that you understand my pain. Your pain is still fresh and raw over losing Sammi girl.

But I'd like to think that our babies are at the Rainbow Bridge right now, runnning around on the grass with the sun warming their little faces.

cchu · 08-23-2006, 04:49 PM

omg...you guys are making cry sooo hard. I am so sorry Jen for Katie, Fran is soooo right they are both playing with each other while they wait for you and Fran. Just remember that a lifetime is like a day in heaven and heaven is for all eternity. We will forever be with our babies.

Call me anytime Jen and I will be there. We can take walks on beach, grab a coffee and you can show me a million pics of Katie while I coo over her.

Be happy Jen and Fran because your little girls are smiling at you!

red98vett · 08-24-2006, 04:30 AM

Jenn.. Hearing that you lost your baby AND your mom will always stay in my mind. I still remember Nobella calling me and crying for you

....The heartbreak you had was tremendous.

I'm just glad you now have little Tia Rose and little Cali to love now. Please say hi to your husband for me and give him a BIG hug.

Lexi Rae · 08-24-2006, 07:41 AM

omg im am so in tears right now...jen call me if you need me...i feel terrible, my heart breaks for you , you know it does,,, it will be alright.. hugs and kisses to you my dear friend
