Hello dear butterfly @Zoe7 

Your telling of how you laid your beautiful loving family to rest is so poignant and at the same time serene.

How comforting for you to have your family there as they would know how much Cat means to you and always will.

I have tears for you Zoe and for Cat as the scene you described is so similar to when we laid my soul fur cat to rest.

Also next to a tree in the corner of what is now a garden. He too was wrapped in his blanket and held in my arms for a very long time. He now has been joined by his sister. I was out there today planting more native fuschias; thinking of your Cat and yourself. I visit mine every time I go out into the garden and talk to them. Our remaining cat also comes to that part of the garden at times. He is only allowed outside with us, watching him. He still is lost without her. Both of them were totally confused without soul cat who was boss.

Surreal yes as time goes on the reality side will change. It will never be the same as before.

You will have Cat with you though, this I promise you. Always there whenever you need to talk to him and reassure him as you always have. You will know what to do. Your love for each other will always guide you.

I do not know about Clover so look forward to hearing more about your other family member.

Cuddles together and hugs and cuddles from all of us. @Oaktree is such a loving person. 

School holidays, yes I agree a time for all of you to adjust.

Enough I have rambled too much

Hugging you along with your forum family. Bless you dear @Zoe7 ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
