I rescued Theo from a skip in Sheffield. Some children had poked him in the eye with a stick and thrown him into the skip to die. When I rescued him, his eye looked like a mushy pea and my vet had to remove it. He became affectionately known as 'One-Eye'. Despite his disability he became the family fly and moth catcher - much faster with his paws than his two-eyed siblings. He was always a quiet and distinguished cat and all he craved in life was food and affection. He has life a hole in the Cadman household and is sadly missed but will always be loved. He's been passed over to the keeping of my dad who will carry on my good work.

"How long will the pain last?" A broken-hearted mourner asked me.
"All the rest of your Life," I have to answer truthfully. We never quite forget.
No matter how many years pass, we remember. The loss of a loved one is like a major operation. Part of us is removed, and we have a scar, for the rest of our lives.
As years go by, we manage. There are things to do, things to care for, tasks that call for full attention. But the pain is still there, not far below the surface.
We see a dog or a cat that looks familiar, hear a voice that echoes, see a photograph we put away, see a landscape that once we saw together, and it seems as though a knife were in the wound again.
But not so painfully. And mixed with joy, too, because remembering a happy time is not all sorrow; It brings back some happiness with it, too.
How long will the pain last? "All the rest of your life."
But the thing to remember is that not only will the pain last, but the blessed memories as well.
Tears are proof of life; The more love, the more tears. If this be true, then how could we ever ask that the pain cease altogether? For then the memory of love would go with it.
The pain of grief is the price we pay for love.

⋱♰⋰ Still Here ⋱♰⋰
⋱♰⋰ Today I knew you were lonely,
I was watching while you cried;
I wanted to reach out and touch you,
Let you know I was by your side ⋱♰⋰
⋱♰⋰ It hurts me to see you grieving,
For I know you can't understand.
If only just for one moment,
You could feel the touch of my hand ⋱♰⋰
⋱♰⋰Beyond the veil that divides us
I'm only a heartbeat away;
Though my life on earth is over
I am walking beside you each day ⋱♰⋰
⋱♰⋰ As the sun rises in the morning,
I can still share the beauty with you,
Here in my heavenly home,
I see from a different view ⋱♰⋰
⋱♰⋰ I hear your sighs in the evening
When a myriad of stars are aglow;
I sense that you are remembering,
The love that we shared long ago ⋱♰⋰
⋱♰⋰ Tonight when sleep beckons you
In dreams you'll sense me draw near.
When the sun rises in the morning,
Remember my love I'm still here ⋱♰⋰

♥ My Gentle Soul ♥
by Sue Scheck
The time has come to close your eyes,
My sweet-faced little friend;
As angels gently lift you up,
Your journeys at its end.
You made us laugh,
You made us cry, as sickness took its toll,
Now it's time to rest in peace;
Good-night, my gentle soul.

Remembering
Go ahead and mention my loved one,
The one that died, you know.
Don't worry about hurting me further.
The depth of my pain doesn't show.
Don't worry about making me cry
I'm already crying inside.
Help me to heal by releasing
The tears that I try to hide.
I'm hurt when you just keep silent,
Pretending they didn't exist,
I'd rather you mention my loved one
Knowing that they have been missed.
You asked me how I was doing
I say "pretty good" or "fine"
But healing is something ongoing
I feel it will take a lifetime.

HOW I AM RIGHT NOW
Author unknown
I know that you miss me, at times you are sad.
You think you should have done more as a Mom or a Dad.
But I've something to tell you, so you won't feel so bad.
You gave me the best life I could ever have had.
Now that I'm in heaven, I don't feel the pain.
It's always warm and sunny here, never any rain.
I just have to thank you, that the memories are glad.
For you gave me the best life I could ever have had.
The times that were painful are just lessons learned.
I've forgotten the sad times, with the freedom I've earned.
Just know in your heart, with faith iron-clad...
That you gave me the best life I could ever have had.

Weep not for me though I am gone
Into that gentle night,
Grieve if you will, but not for long
Upon my soul's sweet flight.
I am at peace, my soul's at rest
There is no need for tears,
For with your love I was so blessed
For all those many years.
There is no pain, I suffer not
The fear now all is gone,
Put now these things out of your thoughts,
In your memory I live on.
Remember not my fight for breath
Remember not the strife,
Please do not dwell upon my death,
But celebrate my life.

Go To Sleep
(Written by Corey Damerell, August 16, 2004)
Go to sleep, close your eyes.
The time has come, for our good byes.
You’ve been a faithful, and loving friend.
But your time on earth, has come to an end.
In my heart, you can’t be replaced.
My memories of you, cannot be erased.
Don’t be afraid, you wont be alone.
You’ll be greeted, by all the pets I’ve known.
Share stories of the time, I spent with you.
Say I still love, and miss them too.
When God decides, the time is right.
Well be together, in heavens light.
Until then, I'll have to wait.
But one day I'll find you, at St. Peters gate.

Can't Breathe For The First Time
by Jennifer Babcock 2004
I watched you walk out that door,
I didn't know that it would be the last time
The heat of the summer is gone,
and the chill of the winter is here
Every breath I take, and every tear I make
Turns to ice as it hits the ground...
I can't breathe for the first time
Everytime I close my eyes, I see your face.
Reminds me that I am alone in this place
Your memory still so deep in my mind,
Makes sanity so hard to find.
Weird how you can watch something change,
and it all seems so fast,
What happened today has already changed into the past.
Photographs of you hanging on the walls,
Everything I can remember ended so fast,
All I have left are my memories....
I can't breathe for the first time.
Everytime I close my eyes, I see your face.
Reminds me that I am alone in this place.
Your memory still so deep in my mind,
Makes sanity so hard to find.

♥Shadow’s Song♥
(Audrey E. Nickel)
I'm not gone...not really.
I haven't gone away...I've only gotten bigger.
My eyes, so bright, now shine among the stars.
My voice sings with the wind in winter, as I leap
and dance among the treetops.
I stalk the blown leaves in autumn, and brush the
flowers gently in the spring.
I come to you in dreaming, on feet grown dreamtime soft,
and lay my cheek against yours, and whisper:
"Peace be with you."
Someday we will play again together, you and I, among the stars.
'Til then, fear not to love, for your love gave my life meaning.
And I return that love to you...a hundredfold..a thousandfold..
Forever.

Rainbow
by Graham & Marion Newcombe-Withers
The sun is shining,
Rain is falling too,
Then suddenly colours appear,
A rainbow comes into view.
It's archway of many colours,
Is spirits healing ray,
And also the doorway to heaven,
Where spirits of animals play.
So when you see a rainbow,
Be happy and not sad,
Just think of all the fun and happiness,
You and your best friend had.
