it’s been a little over 3 months since watcher passed…..
i still think of him everyday, and STILL miss him everyday…..
holly, one of the customers, and {creative chick}’s at the store is also a potter…. i knew right away i wanted to ask her to make an urn for watcher….. i gave her a few simple ideas, and trusted her to create something….
i love what she made, it’s so special 😉
jen prestage, an old friend came to visit in august… she took some pics of me, for her portfolio…. well watcher wanted “in” on the picture taking….. i love this picture she captured…. she framed it in a beautiful frame, fit for the island 🙂 funny thing is i framed the same pic for my dad for christmas……
it’s comforting knowing he will always be with me… in my heart and in his resting place 😉
everyone keeps asking me when i’m going to get another kitty….
i just don’t think i’m ready yet….. i still get upset when talking about watcher, and i’m just not ready to fill his void…..
my life is also too crazy busy to bring a new kitty into the mix just yet…..
this weekend my girls are coming from NH….some much needed girlie time… there will be crafting, drinking, giggling, snacking, and sharing…. I CANT WAIT!!! 🙂
josie and i will also be getting watchers paw print tattooed on our foot…. a lil nervous about how much its going to hurt, but excited to have it done !!! ( i have 2 more tats after this in mind….we’ll see!!!)
busy week ahead 😉 i’ll be at the paper tree 2morrow and then ink about it wednesday and thursday!! Hope to see you there!!
Jenn, the urn is perfect. It’s very fitting. I’m glad the frame I got matches the theme. Over the years the amount of pets I’ve lost is an unbearable thought, but I truly don’t believe those animals leave us. Letting go isn’t easy, and in fact, I don’t think most people ever do, it’s jut the pain that might lessen, only a little each day.
Don’t be pressured to replace Watcher or get another cat, this is something you and ONLY you can decide alone.
I wish you luck, both you and Watcher, you’re both in my heart!
All my love,Jen
I just love your sentiment. Truly that’s beautiful. Thank you for sharing such sweet words.
I know your pain will always be there, but you have a beautiful tribute to Watcher, and all the memories, too…the urn is just perfect, and the picture is oh so nice…I have thought about you, going through this grieving period…
I hope you have a fun weekend with your pals! Everyone needs girl time, I wish I had had some in my younger years…what fun that would have been. . . have a great weekend! {{{HUGS}}}
This is so precious. What a beautiful way to honor Watcher. Thanks for posting this Jenn. We are all here with you. XOXO
The urn looks perfect and how nice that Holly created it. Watcher was your baby……you’ll always carry him in your heart. The missing getes easier but never goes away. {{{hugs}}}
Just love the urn that Holly made, it’s purrrfect !!! and the picture is great too. I’m sure that a day will come when you are ready for another 4 legged companion and I have no doubt that it will be when you least expect it.
the urn is so very very beautiful…you must be so pleased. And a perfect photo to set by it…just perfect.
Jenn: The hardest thing I have ever done is say goodbye to furry friends. Each leaves a huge imprint on your heart and the hurt never goes away. Don’t think about filling Watcher’s void but more that, when you are ready, a companion to take over some of his house duties. Watching you, laying on your craft table, stealing ribbon and beads and getting into everything and of course those lovely cat box treats. Sometimes an older, rescue, cat makes a nice transition until you are ready for crazy kitten-ness! I really enjoyed your class last weekend, I know our paths will cross again. Anne
