Surrounded by Love

One of the most important things we can experience in life is to be loved and Payton was indeed loved.  Though I never had the pleasure to meet her, I knew of her struggle with PDE and the dedication of her mom and dad, and Gammy and Gampy to make her life the best that it could possibly be. Things just were finally too much for her and it became time for Payton to go to the bridge.  Her little body had fought for so long but just didn't have it in her to fight another battle.  But when she left us, she had lived her life to the fullest and had taught us many lessons along the way. And though like her namesake she left us much too soon, she was surrounded by love. May the love she gave back sustain her family until once again they are all united and the circle of love is once again complete. Run free Payton! 

Another Angel at the Bridge

Today sweet Yoda went to the Rainbow Bridge.  He was only 9 years young and his parents don't really know what happened, but I know that sweet Yoda is looking down on them now and will do his best to relieve some of their pain.  His brother Brutus and sister Ellie will need lots of extra loving and attention now for they, too, will grieve.  Go over and offer a little love to his family.  I think Payton's Gampy said it best: Lord, one of your beautiful creatures has come home, please bless the loving family who cared for Yoda until you called. 

Hats of Hope

I'm posting today for Judi, the mom over at SASS. She's facing some medical issues and while I don't know her, offering support is what we do here in the bloggyland! If you have a moment, go on over and offer her some support, and maybe a scritch or two to the kitties.
