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.

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.
Purrs

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

Wow, that had to be so hard to lose them both on the same day (even though there are years in between).

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.

Has it been so long since you lost your dear Truffles. I remember her and she was a wonderful girl.

She is a precious and lovely memory. I know you miss Truffles and her sister.

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🐾😽💞

So much loss of two precious souls so close together is so devastating, especially when it happens so suddenly. Sending you lots of love and purrs, a day late, as you remember your special girls.

I remember when you lost your sweet Truffles. It was exactly 2 months after I lost my Rosie, and my heart broke for you. Sending you many purrs and prayers as you remember your beautiful Truffles and Tara.

Such a tragedy. It must be such a hard time for you! I will give my kitties some extra treats in Truffles and Tara's honor.
