I read of your sad loss in the poem Sweet Ellie so my condolences. I have six little boxes of kitty ashes and one with doggy ashes so I know what it means to lose a beloved pet. Your poem is a sweet tribute to a loving companion. Best Wishes!

Losing a beloved pet can feel as devastating as losing a person close to you. It sounds like you and Ellie had a special relationship, and I'm very sorry for your loss, Gypsy. Your understated poem was just beautiful in describing your loving relationship. My thoughts go out to you at this time of loss. - Jim

Another fine poem, Gypsy, and sorry. Pets lifespan difference is so unfair and unfortunately this is a pain we have to suffer through too many times. It's so tough to deal with

Awe. I'm so very sorry to hear about your cat and this diagnosis. Your poem displayed the pure love shared by both of you. I've had my share of animals passing. None are easy but some hit harder than others. Beautiful and heartwrenching. Gretchen

I do understand how pets are a very important part of our family. Writing does help handle emotions. I am also going to pray. Thank you for sharing this with your FanStory family.

Dear MariVal,
how very sorry I am for Ellie, you, your Grandson, your family. There are no winners coming out of this story, only cherished memories of a perfect little companion.

I love that you process your emotions through creating.

Beautiful and sad free verse at the very same time my dear friend.

With our thoughts we create...
treasure memories.

Descansa tranquila pequeña Ellie... Eres amado

Warmest regards,
James.

Thank you, James,

I appreciate the exceptional six stars review and loving words. My heart hurts. I do something and forget for a while and when I remember reality I cry and I feel a heavy weight on my chest. Such little creature gave and received so much love. I know you understand, more than anybody else, well Helen understands too. But I know you a stronger connection with all sentient beings. Her water, food, and treats bowls are still full and I am not ready to empty them yet.

Con cariňo,

MariVal
Great love come in little hearts

I grew up with pets, cat and does, and I still miss them at times. Your sentiments are quite relatable and understandable. Todsy my wife does not care for house animals because she breaks out, but my daughter and I love them.
