Tara & Truffles...Forever Loved, Forever Missed

 

Today marks the 9th anniversary of the day my baby girl Truffles flew off to the bridge, and the 11th anniversary of the day her big sister Tara paved the way before her.

It goes without saying this is the hardest day of the year for me. Comprehending the tragic set of circumstances that took Truffles from me far before her time is something I will always struggle with, and most likely something I will never be able to accept. She deserved so much more from life. And the fact that I lost them both on the same day two years apart makes me wish I could scratch this date right off the calendar.

In honor of my precious girls, please give your own fur babies a little something special today. Maybe an extra hug or kiss, a few more minutes of play or cuddle time, extra treats wouldn't hurt either.

Our time together is so fleeting; their fragile lives all too short. Never miss an opportunity to show them how much they're loved.

  1. Oh bless. May this day be one to celebrate the joy Tara and Truffles both gave to you, unconditionally. Where their souls are now, well, we can never be certain, but as we believe in the Buddhist path, I bet they are nearby. They certainly wouldn't wish to see you sad.
    May the sun shine on you all today, and forever.

  3. Dearest Meissa,
    It is so heart breaking to lose our kitties and even more so when they are still young.
    But at least they both knew true human love!!!
    Hugs,
    Mariette + Kitties

  8. I, as we all do here, completely understand. The time is a stark time of grief for us when our babies go on, And having both girls leave on the same day, however much the different years is very hard to deal with.
    Love and hugs, real and true to you.

  15. We know how you feel, sweet Mudpie and Melissa, as it was Angel Binky's passing also yesterday. We weren't able to set up a remembrance for her, because it always makes us tear up too😿 Soft Pawkisses for the both of you as you remember your two sweethearts🐾😽💞
