Sterling, our cat, has left us today

We love our cats and so I am sad to say that we lost our Sterling today. He was with us for 16 years. He passed quickly after being sick for two weeks. He was held by us all in our hearts and we will always love him. My daughter took him to the vet for supposedly tests to see what was wrong. Before they could take any tests he had a seizure and was held by the Doctor as he took his last breath. This happened moments after he was given to the nurse to take back to where they would have x-rayed him. Meanwhile, my husband, Ted and I were at her house with our two granddaughters. At 1:20 P.M both my husband and I looked at the clock and knew it was over. A little time afterward my daughter called to tell us that he died at 1:20 P.M. I know he is a young kitten again and is enjoying being healthy and has already been at my daughter's house where he lived. If you have a pet that you love, know that our family understands your loss, as well as anyone who has lost a pet. Know that they are in a safe place and are in a good place, happy and healthy once more and will always visit with us because they love us too.

Communication from our loved ones can be subtle.

So much happens in our life where we have interaction with our loved ones. that it is hard to know if it is really communication or if it comes from our own mind. It is just something that we know because we know our loved ones so well and know what is important to them to tell us after they are gone.
An example of this would be when a lady told me that her deseasd Mother never contacted her after she died and she was in her house cleaning it, getting it ready to sell. She was very upset about it because she felt that her Mother should have said something to her. She then went on to tell me how she went to the back door because she felt it was unlocked and her Mother was very fussy about unlocked doors being locked. She was wrong about that when she tried the handle and it was locked. She turned to walk away, but a feeling gripped her and she went back and pulled the handle toward her and the door opened up. She then knew that the lock was turned correctly, but the door was not pushed all the way into the frame. I then asked her how she thought that her Mother didn't speak to her when it was so obvious to me. She said that maybe she was looking for something else and didn't recognize it and then laughed.
