Squirt - my Queen has crossed The Bridge

Dear Leslie,

Thank you so much for coming back to talk with us. I know it must have been a very, very hard thing to do. My heart breaks upon hearing how difficult Squirt's final morning was for you both. There was absolutely no way to predict those complications, but I can only imagine your agony when your only wish was to give her peace and comfort. Peace did come for little Squirty, but I know it was not in the manner for which you had prayed.

So now you must find a way to make peace for yourself. I know this will not be easy nor quick. But you deserve to find peace, Les. You did what you believed would be best for Squirt her entire life, and death. Some things are beyond our power to know and achieve. All we can do is what we hope is best at any one moment. And that is what you did for Squirty, always.

We love you, and we will do anything we can to support you. Even if it is just to listen. We are really good listeners, you know (you've taught us well!). So please come back when you are ready. We are waiting for you with open arms and open hearts.

Many hugs to you, my dear friend.
Marianne

Dearest, sweet Leslie,

There is NO room and especially no reason for guilt of any nature. My dear, sweet Leslie, you are the kindest, most loving, and caring person I have the privilege to know.

Squirt knows, just like we do, that your love and devotion to her is immeasurable, and that you always have your precious babies best interest at heart.

Please stop being so hard on yourself, there just isn't a reason for that. We love you and all your precious babies.

Love and huge hugs, Lori

Leslie

I'm useless with words at a time like this but wanted you to know you are in my
Thoughts

((((Hugs)))))

Hi Leslie
I am so sorry again. It is a terrible miserable time and even though at the time we know we are doing the right thing we always second guess after. The vet after tommy left said that is one common element of the people who are great pet owners. And you are up there at the top of the pile.
The cloud comment reminded me of tom - the day after saw a cloud and thought there's tom- even took pictures of it. They are always with us.
And how true is the first saying in your signature block.
Squirt was as lucky to have found you as you were to find squirt.

Oh Leslie :( Big hugs to you. I know that isn't the way you envisioned Squirts last moments to be but I am sure, absolutely positive, that she is now not sick and still loves her mommy and watches over all of you. Sophie knows it too.

I wish I could take away your pain. I can't and since I'm not there, I'll send you a bit virtual hug, but know that if I was there, you've be getting hugs for real and the babies all having belly rubs.

Remember, to yourself be true.
You were always true to Squirt, do no less for you.

hugs and love
Sharlene

Dearest Leslie,
Please do not feel guilty, everything you did was with a full heart filled with love and your Queen Squirt knew that. She knew it every moment she was with you. The sign you saw was Squirt telling you she is fine and not in any pain or suffering and I truly believe she wants you to stop feeling guilty for anything. The love you and Squirt have for each other transcends time and space. Squirt carries that love in her heart and soul even now.

I hope and pray you find peace with Squirts passing and know we are all here for you whenever you need us to be.

Squirt is with you in other ways but she is there.

Much love,
Vicki

Oh Leslie,

I have tried so hard to picture Squirt swimming in the pool from days long a go. I loved that so and it brought me great comfort to remember those days.

We walked hand in hand you and I this last year with our sweet girls. I wish I could tell you this will all go away, it may but it will take some time. Zoe's last day will haunt me for the rest of my life I think. These emotions we have when we lose them cant be ignored, we all pay that price I fear, for the love we shared with our babies.

I am so glad you came to tell us, we are all so worried about you. You and Squirt mean so much to so many of us.

I know Squirt will come to you as Zoe has come to me. We know they are both happy and free of pain and love us just like they always have. Just as our love for them never ends, neither does their love for us. Both are eternal, endless.

I give you hugs. I know you are a survivor and your other babies need you. They are what will sustain you when it is so hard.

Leslie, I wish I could turn back the clock for us both, I wish I could dry your tears, wipe away the hurt, guilt, anger, fear, all of that.

But dearest friend, I cannot. So just know how much I really do care.

Dear Leslie,through the tears, words can not comfort you now. I wish we all could enfold you with a circle of our love, and support. Squirt will always be there with you. Be open to feeling her presence. Do what ever comforts you. No one can tell you how hard it is to loose your baby. You and Angel Squirt are in my prayers.
Please know we are here for you. It is time for us to comfort you.
Hugs Sonja and Angel Apollo
the lose is always there, piece of you dies with them.

Leslie, I absolutely believe that we can be contacted from Heaven!
My mother's youngest brother was kind of a rabble rouser and liked to get into tiffs at the local bar. For some reason, he always liked me as a kid and spent time with me whenever we visited my grandmother who actually could barely stand me being in her presence. Long story there.

Uncle Gerry was hospitalized and in a coma. One night, I just KNEW that he had passed away and ran upstairs to my parents' bedroom. I literally reached their door as my grandmother called to tell them that he had passed away. I somehow also felt that he was ok and told my parents all of this. They never believed in such a thing until then.

Squirt is telling you that she's ok and there's nothing to feel guilty about. It was her time and her body was failing her, not you.

Hugs.

Dearest Leslie,

Know without a doubt that you and all of your precious babies are dearly loved. :p We grieve with you as we all love our Squirty. We have so many precious memories of our sweet girl.
