It's me...Chica today. We want to apologize for not posting or visiting for a few days. Mom keeps saying she has lost her Christmas spirit...and we have been helping her look for it. We have looked everywhere but nothing has turned up.
Mom got a lot of sad news the past week - her friend Emily is very sick from her cancer treatment, Pop's sister in law Laura lost her Dad, Mom's Uncle Ray died and then this one sent Mom over the edge - her friend Nancy died unexpectedly from a heart attack. Nancy was only a few years older than Mom! This is the second friend Mom lost this year - both from heart attacks and so young. Kinda scary.
Anyway - Mom is doing a little better and we will keep trying to find her spirit. Just remember to tell your loved ones how much you do love them, all the time, every day - don't wait cuz you never know what can happen. Chica signing out!
P.S. Solstice Blessings to all of you - the days will be getting longer now! Yay!
Oh my Chica!! I wish I were there to help your Mom right now. I am so deeply, deeply sorry!! (((((hugs))))) to your Mom. I pray she will be given the strength to get through this most difficult time.
ReplyDeletePlease tell your Mom she is in all of our hearts and thank her for the reminder that we need to tell everyone special to us that we love them....we LOVE YOU!!
We are so sorry to hear you have had so much loss. If anyone can help you find your Christmas spirit again it is all your beautiful kitties! When I look into my cat's trusting, innocent faces it is difficult not to feel joy. Hold tight to them and to your loved ones and you will get through this difficult time. And know there are lots of people out in the CB who care about you :-)
ReplyDeletePlease tell your mommy that we are here with her and send her love and purray for a peaceful heart for her.
ReplyDeleteYour poor mom - such bad time for her - give her lots of cuddles, snuggles and kisses to show her you care.
ReplyDeletePurrs and Light and (((hugs))) to your mom...and to the family and friends of everyone who has passed.
ReplyDeleteThe holidays are a difficult time of year and we're so sorry for all the losses and illness.
It's okay if your mom doesn't find her holiday spirit this year--understandable. Tell her she needs to give herself permission to just Be however she needs to be.
Solstice blessings to you all too.
oh sweet Chica, please tell your mommy that I'm sending lots of love and lights to her heart, I hope she is feeling better today.So many sad news in the past few days.
ReplyDeleteMy mommy and I are always thinking of you!
purrs and love
Luna
Chica, please give your Mom some big hugs from all of us.The holidays are a really tough time when you lose a friend or someone is sick. Anyway we are sending tons of purrs, woofs, heehaws and a Baa. Take care all of you.
ReplyDeleteWe are so sorry to hear about all those losses. There is never a right time to lose someone you love ~ but when they are young and death is unexpected it is even harder than usual. Blessings and love to your mom ~ take good care of her.
ReplyDeleteTell your Mom that I am so sorry for all the loss this year. It's always good to think a while when these things happen. Each moment should be enjoyed. We just forget sometimes.
ReplyDeleteTell her that it's the Spirit of the Season that is fun. The sparkle of the trees. The children when they visit Santa. The singing and the whiteness (not driving in it though). There is always sadness but always something to keep us going.
Thinking of you and hoping that you can find the simple things to brighten your days.
Oh Chica
ReplyDeleteWe are deeply sorry that your Mom is going through such sadness. We will keep her in our purrs. Just continue to give her your love and soft purry rumbles and it will help her heart heal.
