Mommy, Daddy and Bubby Love you forever until we see you at Rainbow Bridge again.<\/p>\n<p>My honey-baby, we have rescued two younger siblings for you.\u00a0 By no means are these two animal-rescue babies meant to be replacements for you. No way!\u00a0 Brandee and I felt that some younger sibling(s) would be good so, of course, we rescued two babies from the local animal shelter.<\/p>\n<p>Your new younger siblings are named Bleu and Gracie. Bleu is a six-week-old kitten and she\u2019s adorable.\u00a0 Gracie is a seven-week-old puppy and she\u2019s also a bundle of joy.<\/p>\n<p>Your lovely Aunt Tammye sent Brandee and I a lovely story that was really emotionally sad, yet wonderfully inspirational.\u00a0 It was a story about some poor rescue animals that, unfortunately, never get saved and go to Rainbow Bridge with you.\u00a0 These poor animals have no one to cross the Bridge with until The Rescuers come to be with them.\u00a0 It\u2019s a wonderful feel-good story and I\u2019m so grateful for Tammye to share this with us.<\/p>\n<p>Nearly everything I do to this day is still in your routine. Every morning I go out into the backyard like we used to do together and pray to the lovely sky for peace, happiness and respect. That was my favorite activity of every day with you. I miss that soooooo much and I\u2019m starting this new tradition with Bleu in your great honor. Every morning, noon and night I hope that you can send me a message that you are in peace and comfort.<\/p>\n<p>The outpouring of sentiment for your journey to Rainbow Bridge is amazing and people love you so much.\u00a0 Everyone has been so supportive of Brandee, Jack and I that we cannot express our gratitude enough. You, our beautiful baby-orange-furr, were a fan favorite of FaceBook for sure.<\/p>\n<p>So, until I write again, your spirit is in-tact, your legacy is strong and you will never be forgotten. Bleu and Gracie are a new generation but you, my sweetness, are the best forever.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2642\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kevinneal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/kevin-and-bella-memory-3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kevinneal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/kevin-and-bella-memory-3.png 960w, https:\/\/www.kevinneal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/kevin-and-bella-memory-3-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.kevinneal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/kevin-and-bella-memory-3-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.kevinneal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/kevin-and-bella-memory-3-768x768.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Love you forever,<\/p>\n<p>Daddy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>May 13th, 2017 &nbsp; Dear Sweet Baby Bella, We miss you more than ever.\u00a0 The emptiness of missing you is like a kick to the gut, frankly.
