| Hoping Brian's Home doesn't mind that we used their photo |
I began reading email/blogs this morning and found out the heartbreaking news that beloved "Sister Sascha" from Brian's Home has gotten her Angel wings and has gone to the Bridge. Our hearts are broken for Brian and his entire family. I am deeply saddened that she had to go to the bridge at all, and it makes it hurt even more that she left on my birthday. I will forever think of her that day.
Sister Sascha as Brian said is "High atop the Diva Tower." We always loved when she would get her "Lion Cut" about once or so a year..........and the first song that came into our minds to honor her memory was this one:
AND ALSO THIS ONE:
We extend our deepest sympathy to Sister Sascha's entire family and wish we could be there to help comfort them all. You have probably visited them already, since we found out so late, but if not, you can click here
Sister Sascha thank you for sharing your life with us, to your family, we love you and thank you for giving this exquisite cat the best home she could have ever hoped for. We love you all and we are hurting with you.

ReplyDeleteRIP, Sister Sascha. I'm sorry for the loss of your cousin. Sending you hugs!
ReplyDeleteSo much sadness....too much sadness lately. What a beauty Sascha was, wasn't she? Caren, I am so sorry for the loss of your cousin. I appreciated your comment on my blog recently. There was a reason I posted those "soul soothing" photos. We lost my brother-in-law (my oldest sister's husband) not long before you lost your cousin. I've been so behind on everything, and just didn't get a chance to reply to your comment yet, but please know I have been thinking of you with love. xxoo
ReplyDeleteOh Jan!!! I am so deeply, deeply sorry about the loss of your brother-in-law. I am sooooo sorry! I am going to check and see if I have your email. Sending you much love and my deepest sympathy xoxo

We took the weekend off too ... and feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the things I need to catch up on :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tribute to Sascha. We loved the lion cut too. Just like with loss of humans we know - it seems so random and unfair. Our loved ones can be ripped from us at any time. I learned that lesson well as a kid - the two people I was closest to - who gave what my parents couldn't or wouldn't, died within a year of each other when I was in early elementary school. Loss is so hard to deal with - and even more so for that feeling of having no control over it. We hope you had a great birthday despite all this.
ps - I took the weekend off for my nephew's birthday ... oddly enough, I was singing "The Lion Sleeps Tonight," all weekend. I don't have any idea why - it just kept popping into my head.
(((hugs))) to you! I am soooo sooo sorry about the devastating loss you experienced as a child, that is beyond heartbreaking, I am so sorry. Hoping your nephew had a wonderful birthday celebration and too funny that you had the same song popping into your head!!! (((hugs)))
DeleteSuch a beautiful tribute and certainly a bittersweet memory for your birthday. We send our love to Terry and family as well as to you and yours for the loss of your cousin. xoxo from Deb and the Zee/Zoey gang.
ReplyDeleteWe are sending our purrs and most sincere thoughts and prayers to sweet Sascha's family. We are also sending you our thoughts and prayers after the loss of your cousin.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday Caren! We hope you were spoiled and surrounded by love on your special day :)
ReplyDeleteWe were sad to hear about Sascha too.
Also sad to hear about your cousin. We are sending you birthday hugs and every day hugs. XO
the critters in the cottage xo
Sending big hugs, and lots of purrs too, to try to comfort you in your own loss and to Brian and his furmily on the loss of their dear Sascha.
ReplyDeleteI know I told you this in an email, but we so appreciate the most beautiful tribute. I keep coming back to the beautiful song, it helps. Love you Caren.
ReplyDeleteYou are making my eyes leak again!!!!! No need to thank me dear friend, your friendship is all the thanks I need......I am HONORED, PROUD and BLESSED to have you as my friend. Love you too!!! Forever and always!!! xoxo
DeleteSo sorry to hear about your cousin, Caren. Hugs to you and the rest of the family. Also, so sad Sascha is gone.
