The pain of the loss of her has not diminished at all, but we are getting better at living without her. She is never far, we feel her presence in the gardens where she played and her light step on the staircase each morning as she ran down to the kitchen her eyes filled with joy for a new day full of adventure. Her memory is sometimes bright, so close that I can smell her and feel her soft fur. But time is fading her from view. All who love and lose will know this feeling. <br /><br />Today it appears that this world of ours is so full of sorrow. We must all love all be as kind as we can and not forget love. Even when we lose it the light still shines.

One was about Isabella's age, she got killed by a car and one we also had to put to sleep. Heartbreaking and they came into our life for a reason and they actually never leave our hearts. Who knows what mysterious connections they are, where they came from and why? Daring to love that much makes us vulnerable for having to grief one day but still, it is worth it. After a while the grief is not as raw and we can intensely enjoy the many pictures we got from them.<br />You got precious ones yourself and what a rich and happy life she lived. Imagine if we had not given shelter and love to them?!<br />Hugs to you,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999049516813772095.post-29411872727506693202014-01-15T18:10:27.713+00:002014-01-15T18:10:27.713+00:00I was so saddened to read this this morning.

I also wanted to thank you for your kind words to me this morning but you are "no reply comment" so I was unable to email you back. It has been a few weeks now since you lost Issy and I know the loss is a forever one, but we all know the pain slowly turns to a sadness which then morphs into a longing, until we meet our loved ones again. <br />May this New Year bring you joy.oldgreymarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04797732200457673279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999049516813772095.post-62048413789551105142013-12-23T17:04:21.037+00:002013-12-23T17:04:21.037+00:00I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved Issy ~ ...I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved Issy ~ may her memory stay with you. <br /><br />Sending best wishes to you and yours for a happy holidays and blessed New Year ~<br /><br />xo<br />AmandaAmanda Summerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00942636545948440422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999049516813772095.post-41592940973580194982013-12-22T19:49:51.439+00:002013-12-22T19:49:51.439+00:00Merry Christmas my dear blogfriend.

I have l...Oh, dear...I am so sorry about Isabella. I have loved many a cat in my life too. They are all so very special and when their presence is departed they leave such an empty void. They say cats are very human in their personalities. They experience human emotions. I have felt at times that cats are more like women, and dogs more like men. Because you have to win your way into a cat's heart, and with dogs they become your immediate friend, especially if you provide them with food. Yes, it took me an entire year to become friends with a feral cat who had kittens in our yard. She finally would meow when I saw her, but would never let me pet her. The kittens were just as wild as she was. But, yes! A tame kitten can win the hearts of feral cats, and I am so happy to hear that Isabella won the hearts of Mrs Black and her husband so you could treasure their friendship too. Cats are amazing, and I share in your grief.<br />hugs,<br />Teresa in California<br />=^..^=A Magical Whimsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15473478545205572098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999049516813772095.post-82083420163354474592013-11-29T19:58:35.969+00:002013-11-29T19:58:35.969+00:00Oh I'm so sorry.

You are such a kind and loving lady. Issy had had a lovely home and special life even though it was not as long as you wanted it to be. I know there are special animals who come to our lives.

Even from her photos, she looks somehow special. I'm trying to figure out what it was that made her stand out. An intensity, a fierce lust for life. I really can believe that she was a most remarkable cat - and a terrible loss for you. I'm glad you took lots of photos, and when you have got over the first blow of her loss, I am sure they will console you.Jenny Woolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881781466502273314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999049516813772095.post-72196497868701052012013-11-28T19:56:30.176+00:002013-11-28T19:56:30.176+00:00Minerva, my heart aches for you and your loss of I...Minerva, my heart aches for you and your loss of Issy. I had a calico, who had the same beauty and character. I remember how I felt when she passed away, a hollow spot inside me. It a hard thing to explain to those who do not have furry family members, they don't understand the sense of loss. Issy will always be with you and in time the stories you tell and remember about her will make you feel happy, not sad. For you knew her and she knew you. Big {{hug}}.
