I sit on the sofa and watch my beautiful, frail 21 year old Maine Coon cat, Stormy, curled in the blue wingback chair. He is so tiny, so emaciated. He is dying. We all are ultimately, but his long years have finally caught up with him. It has been a day of trying to make him comfortable with pain medications. I have been in consultation with my home vet who will be here tomorrow to assess Stormy and most likely we will help ease his transition Sunday afternoon. My heart is heavy, so I concentrate on breathing deeply. To watch my angelic furry child sleep, his belly rising and falling slowly, is a meditation. I go deeply into a state of being. There is no more to do in this moment. Stormy and I are as all of us, Children of the Universe. It is often in the twilight of life, before the great transition into the next world, that we come face to face with that peace, one of neither grasping nor reaching. I look into the tired emerald green eyes of my Stormy, and I see the cosmos, infinite, timeless. As Stormy approaches death, I surrender to being, not doing. To loving, not coveting. To stopping, not starting. I know the spirit of my beautiful boy is entwined with mine. Now is all we have. Now is the greatest gift we are given....

Sending you joy and peace!

Mookie Loves Stormy... ❤️❤️❤️

My heart goes out to u my friend.Here u a poem might help u. It did me when I put my moms boxer dog she was 13. She had a stroke.❤️🐾RAINBOW BRIDGE

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies who has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; his eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....❤️🙏🏻
