May 16th<\/sup>, 2017<\/p>\n

Hey sweet Baby Bella,<\/p>\n

We miss you like crazy but know you are in a great place in Pet Heaven at Rainbow Bridge.\u00a0 Everyone has been so considerate and compassionate since you made your journey that Brandee, Jack and I can\u2019t say thanks enough. I hope you know that you have so many friends that care about you that it\u2019s so beautiful.<\/p>\n

The house is so empty without you in spite of the youthful energy that Gracie and Bleu contribute. It just doesn\u2019t feel right at this moment; honestly. Maybe, in time, this emptiness will fade but it\u2019s painful. However, we take comfort that you are pain-free and among so many friends and family at Rainbow Bridge.<\/p>\n

Jackson misses you tremendously, and this is still very evident. It\u2019s very sad and I cry with him often. We are trying to adjust and he\u2019s doing his best to be an older brother to his two new sissy\u2019s.\u00a0 Speaking of which\u2026.let me provide an update.<\/p>\n

Gracie is a handful. She is full of energy and really a great compliment to the house. She keeps your bubby active and healthy. She\u2019s always very playful and we need to keep a close watch on when she\u2019s playing with Bleu. We don\u2019t think that Gracie would intentionally hurt Bleu but Gracie has sharp-teeth and Bleu is so tiny that an accident could happen. It\u2019s just best to be careful until Bleu grows up a bit.<\/p>\n

Bleu is a crazy kitty just like you. Also, just like you, she likes to chill in the afternoon and then stay up all night running around the house! She is a pretty kitten and so small. She\u2019s a good sissy for you and I just wish that you could have met. I want to mention that bubby is especially nice to Bleu. He is such a wonderful Bub! Even when Bleu does one of her \u2018flying squirrel\u2019 jumps and lands directly in front of his face, he doesn\u2019t snap, he doesn\u2019t growl nor does he pay her any attention frankly.\u00a0 In fact, the only time he pays attention to Bleu is when Gracie gets a bit aggressive and your Bub jumps-in to save the day for Baby Bleu.<\/p>\n

Overall, we are busy trying to make a modified Neal family but it\u2019s really hard without you here. Gracie and Bleu are wonderful but it\u2019s just not the same. Maybe over time I will feel different but this is just how I feel for you. You were, and always are, the best Baby Bella Furrball of all time! I so miss everything we did together from watching the sunrise, to cuddling together and talking crazy stuff.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Love you to the moon and back,<\/p>\n

Mommy, Daddy and Buddy<\/p>\n
