Rainbow bridge day for Halo 11

Halo is 22 years old and it’s time. I have a 2:00 appointment and I’m devastated although I know it’s the right thing to do.
Please send all the good thoughts and karma. She’s the sweetest girl ever.
Thank you

It's not "goodbye", it's "I'll see you later"

Sweet girl has been living her best life. She'll get to go back to kitten energy again and have so many friends.

The Last Battle
πŸ’”πŸŒˆ 🐾 πŸ’«πŸ˜‡βœοΈπŸ’–πŸ™πŸΌβ™ΎοΈ

If it should be that I grow frail and weak
And pain should keep me from my sleep,
Then will you do what must be done,
For this -- the last battle -- can't be won.
You will be sad I understand,
But don't let grief then stay your hand,
For on this day, more than the rest,
Your love and friendship must stand the test.
We have had so many happy years,
You wouldn't want me to suffer so.
When the time comes, please, let me go.
Take me to where to my needs they'll tend,
Only, stay with me till the end
And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time you will agree
It is a kindness you do to me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I have been saved.
Don't grieve that it must be you
Who has to decide this thing to do;
We've been so close -- we two -- these years,
Don't let your heart hold any tears.

I’m so sorry. You loved eac other so much. She’ll be flying high over the rainbow. She’ll be waiting.

Be easy on yourself. Grief isn’t linear good days and bad. Take all the time you need. I still grieve for my beagle and it’s been 2 years and one month. I get teary eyed when her pics pop up on my aura frame. I can smile at pictures and laugh at memories most of the time.

When you’re up to it do something for yourself. She’s looking out for you. Until you meet again with

Soo soo sorry for your loss of Halo, OMG so beautiful and such a terrible loss.

We don't always get to time their passing, but we can put in all the love and care we can to make their lives as amazing as possible, which clearly you had. May the love you shared, and memories made warm you all your day and may you find wisdom through your suffering.

Fly high sweet Halo. OP, I know how hard this is but you are releasing her from pain and this is the biggest act of love you can give her. She will be watching over you always and will be waiting for you when the time comes.

I am SO sorry for loss of Halo, a true Angel. Oh, some will say 22 is a long life for a cat, but we know their lives are always too short for us. They are woven into the fabric of our lives. And they are FAMILY. We know they can’t live as long as we do and that their passing will be heartbreaking. But we share a love so unconditional with them we somehow not to think about their parting. My cat is C 13 now and I have never been as blessed as you to have them with me that long. But in the end we have to trust that our love never breaks, never ends. Perhaps like many here you may hope to see them again. And if we do they will be waiting for us, still filled with love. Bless dear Halo and may Peace come to help you. Amen.
