April 30th<\/sup>, 2017<\/p>\n

I\u2019m terribly hurt right now. Not by anyone or anything, but rather just circumstances beyond my control. It\u2019s God\u2019s Will and it shall be.<\/p>\n

Bella, our lovely feline daughter of nearly 15 years, went to heaven at Rainbow Bridge<\/em> on April 27th<\/sup>, 2017.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After a long illness, this was not a surprise but this does not make the hurt any less. We do, however, have great comfort knowing that she is no longer in any pain and she is continuing to share her awesomely perfect spirit in pet heaven at Rainbow Bridge<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Bella had a tough life in the beginning as a kitten being a ferial cat, a runt and malnourished before we were blessed with her presence. So, we were truly blessed with her presence as long as we had her in the physical world, although this certainly wasn\u2019t long enough. I will be writing much more about Bella\u2019s beautiful legacy in future blog posts.<\/p>\n

Right now, I feel so horribly helpless to do anything. There is nothing to do other than to double-down on my love of family and friends. Therefore, I have made a commitment to even more cherish each moment with my wife and Bella\u2019s younger canine brother, Jackson. Also, I want to share and document Bella\u2019s legacy in writing, photos and videos so that hundreds of years in the future that people can still realize how special she truly was.<\/p>\n

I mentioned Rainbow Bridge<\/em> a few times above. If you are not familiar with The Rainbow Bridge<\/em> then I encourage you to research this comforting poem and heartwarming story of pet heaven where animals have perfect health, play in vast beautiful fields and wait to cross \u2018the bridge\u2019 with their loved ones. Knowing that Bella is pain-free among dearly beloved passed loved one\u2019s including my such as my terrific Dad and Brandee\u2019s wonderful Mother is truly comforting.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Bella, we love you SO much and miss you dearly.<\/p>\n

Until we meet again.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Love,<\/p>\n

Daddy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
