I wasn't going to post for Cody's birthday this year.....but then I noticed I did for Dakota's.....soooo....I am re-posting last years post and just changed the age to 16. Maybe one day I will no longer feel the need to post for his birthday, but I still miss my boy beyond belief, so please indulge me. After all, if it weren't for Cody, this blog would never have existed and I never would have had the joy of knowing all of YOU! xoxo
I see this face and the hurt begins all over again. My precious Cody today would have been your 16th birthday, three years ago I never would have ever imagined that you wouldn't be with us today. One day you were here, and like a blink of an eye you were gone. It's all a blur. A heartbreaking blur.
I miss you EVERY SINGLE DAY. I miss you sitting next to me on the armrest of the couch. I miss looking into your sea green eyes, I miss your quirky little mouth. I miss your cuddle bug ways. I miss yelling at you for trying to chew everything you could get your paws on. I miss sharing chicken with you. I miss your calm and easy-going nature.
From the day I adopted you in 2007 we shared an incredible bond. You crawled up my chest that day and you would NOT let go. The tears come all over again when I think about the day you left us. I beat myself up mentally constantly for feeling as if I let you down. That I didn't protect you enough, when I had promised you I would. Even now, nearly three years after you passed, I STILL cannot type without tears welling in my eyes.
I love you and miss you my "Codester", my "Jelly Belly", my "Codalicious", my "Cody Boy", my "Cuddlebug". I pray with all of my heart that you knew how deeply you were loved. I hope Angel Dakota is helping you celebrate your heavenly birthday my precious boy. My life will never, ever be the same without you here. I miss you more than you could ever imagine Cody.

Big healing hug to you and lots of scritches to the boys. ♥
Happy birthday in Heaven, sweet Cody. We love you always and forever. And love and gentle purrs to you, Caren, as you miss your beloved boy.
ReplyDeleteWe do have sometimes, one pet who really means so much to us that words can not express the love. I am glad today to see who Cody was and he was the beginnings of your blog. I think we need to remember our pets same as we do our human losses. Lynn and Precious
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Lynn. That means A LOT. Cody WAS the blog from 2009 until 2020 when he passed. Because you recently met us, you didn't know that. I am happy now that I DID post this today. xoxo Your comment means quite a bit to me, thank you!
DeleteHappy Birthday Cody even though you cannot be with us, but then again, I suspect if we look out of the corner off our eye, we WILL see you here! You are gone in body but not in spirit. Everyone remembers and misses you.
ReplyDeleteSending you lots of Light and hugs, Caren. These occasions are especially difficult. ❤️
ReplyDeleteNo matter how much time passes, we always miss them. That's why I've written the books I have with words that will always remain. Every day, I remember each one of them over all the years. Your blog brought those tears of thoughtful memories; to never really let go.
ReplyDeleteHappy Heavenly birthday Cody, and big hugs sent for you, Caren. I know exactly how you feel. It was 10 years last month since Eric left us and 6 years next month for Flynn. When I copy and pasted yesterdays Memory post I didn't immediately realise there was a short video. I haven't watched any since my little man left but decided I had to do it at some time. I am glad I did. I had tears but also a big smile at the same time. And yes, I have tears now so know you are not alone.
ReplyDelete((((hugs))) to you and THANK YOU! It's sooo hard!! I miss your boys so much so I can only imagine how you feel. Will be over there later today or tomorrow to read the post. Sending lots of love! xoxo
DeleteHappy Birthday at the Bridge sweet Angel Cody. We'll always remember the fun times you gave us, always. Love ya buddy.

I know there will be a celebration like no other at the Bridge.
ReplyDeletePurrs and hugs as you remember sweet Cody today. He is missed.
ReplyDeleteYes, that time passes, does not change the fact that we miss our angels...sorely and I too have tears when I start to think of my Angels.
ReplyDeleteBig hugs to you, as you have a virtual Birthday celebration for precious Cody..
(((hugs))) to you as well!
DeleteSmudge's dad Brian here, Caren- Happy 16th Birthday in Heaven to your dear Angel Cody. Never hesitate to post. What a sweet remembrance of your blog-starting Angel boy. Made me tear up yet again and remember what we went through not even a year ago with Cleopatra. We love our little Smudge and are so happy she's with us, but Cleo's being is in so many things around this house and probably will be for a long time. Enjoy your special memories, and thank you for sharing so deeply.
ReplyDeleteBrian, you brought tears to my eyes. THANK YOU with all of my heart! ((((hugs)))) to you, I totally get it. We love Roary but it will never be the same, just like with you and Smudge. We miss Cleo and know that you do too (((hugs))))
DeleteHappy Heavenly Birthday, Cody!
ReplyDeleteHugs and purrs, Caren, for you, and for Cody at the Bridge. I know how we always miss them.
