Fun Day, June 20, 2009

So, we had some fun in the sun on June 20, 2009. Started our day with the Lewis' Petting Farm in New Era, then to Summit Park (Lake Michigan) for a picnic and so the kiddos could swim in the cold water, then back to the camp ground for swimming, dinner, and a bon fire :)

Tribute to my cat Midnight aka Tinker aka Sisser

RIP Sisser 1995-June 20, 2009

I received Midnight as a gift from a co-worker from the county building. She was a barn kitten with an attitude. She has brought me so much love, joy, and companionship throughout her 14 years with me. She held many secrets from me and friends throughout the years (if she would go by my friends I should say). She might not have been the friendliest cat to most people but she loved me and was my baby!

I am so saddened about the death of my cat. I just feel so lonely without her even though I have Sassy Frassy and Scooby Doo with me! My mom said that Sassy Frassy came into my life for a reason and this must have been it.

Sassy and Sisser would play in the house even though Sisser was a lot bigger than him until Sisser got sick. I am not sure what happened but my mom thinks she might have had a stroke. I was hand feeding her and taking care of her until she gave up on that and would be mad at me for feeding her. She would try to eat or drink but she would get sick and she lost 1/2 of her body weight. I talked to Sisser June 18, 2009, and took her collar off and told her that if she is ready to pass then she can and that I loved her and I kissed her and loved her up! I just didn't expect her to be gone when I came home on June 20, 2009...and I was devastated and had to call my mom to have her come over to help me with her!

Scooby Doo loved Sisser even though Sisser didn't really like him cleaning her ears. They both would lay with me and even lay by each other.

Sisser's favorite things to do: sit on the back of the couch looking out the window, her head scratched, hiding from people except for mommy, sneaking out of the house to eat some grass, eating her canned food, taking naps and being by mommy.

Survived by: Mommy, Scooby Doo, and Sassy Frassy

Burial: July 21, 2009 and flowers planted in her honor

Mommy loves you Sisser and I am so sorry that you are no longer here--RIP my little baby!!

From Cats waiting for Spring!

Tribute to my Uncle Harry

My Uncle Harry passed away on June 1, 2009. Uncle Harry was my mom's baby brother! Throat Cancer would be the culprit to cut his 50 years on this earth short :( He was diagnosed about 8 months ago and given up to a couple of years to live. My mom and grandma spent many hours over the 8 months with my uncle driving him back and forth to chemo and doctor appointments. He is no longer suffering and is at peace ... Jesus by his side and the rest of the family who we have lost in the past! Rest in Peace Uncle Harry! I love you!!!

POEM OF LIFE

Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what's to be,
A resting place along the road,
to sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We all were meant to learn some things,
but never meant to stay...

Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know.
For some the journey's quicker,
For some the journey's slow.
And when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the lord
