so today was my youngest childs birthday. he would have been 7 years
old. it had been since christmas of 05, the last time i saw him.
this time was really hard for me. i didn't shead a tear, but
nonetheless, it was still hard. the visit was short and silent. i
didn't know what to say. what should i say? after about 5 minutes of
nothing, i told him i love him and to take care of his mother. his
mother and i just resently have been on speaking terms and have been
talking regularly about our son. i left for work feeling relieved to
get the visit over with. now i care relax and visit him again soon.
but before that, i had to make it through the rest of the day. after
such a long night and waking up easrly this morning, i was really
tired. around 7:30, i left for home, stopping for ice cream on the
way. after finishing my ice cream, i headed straight for bed.
an hour and half went by when i was woken up by my fiance. something
wrong had just happened. My child, my best friend, my cat, suddenly
had been struck by a car traveling at what she was told to be around
80-90 MPH on a 25 MPH road. the car didn't stop. i jumped out of bed
in hysterics and threw some clothes on. we jumped into my car with
my cat, and headed to the hospital. i drove no better than the
person that hit my best friend of 7 years. we made it to the
hospital and 10 minutes later, i was asked to put him down. he died
in the room next.
i don't know what i have done to deserve this. of all days, the day
i lose my best firend is the day my first childs birthday ws to turn
7. am i being punished for something i did wrong? if there was any
doubt that i would ever forget this day, there isn't any now.
Rocky was 7 years old.
may he rest in peace.

I am so sorry for your losses. No on does anything to deserve these sort of things. We live in an imperfect and sinful world. please don't think it was anything you have done. You have enough to deal with. I am very sorry. We recently got a new kitten and his name is also Rocky. I just had to write.

Well, I guess it is similar to things within the homeschooling
community - everything in life affects our homeschooling because it
is a lifestyle, therefore just about anything applies. Within the
Letterboxing community, something like this affects someone deeply
and because they are active on the trail and on the board and
Letterboxing is a significant part of many people's lives here, well,
it counts. If nothing else from the human caring standpoint and he
knew he could go here for support.
Imagine if you were in his shoes and wanted to let your friends know
you had just been dealt a severe blow in life...... I did send my
reply to him - kinda glad I did now..... There are many others that
have shared here that they have lost a beloved family member and/or
beloved pet.

David, My wife and I lost our baby due to a miscarriage, Lost our dog of
4years to cancer, then my wife lost her Grandmother from a heart attack all
in 1month... We got through it all with knowing that God doesn't make things
happen or punish people. What happens to us comes on us through our own free
will. We should turn to him for COMFORT... But through all of this my wife
and I drew closer together and closer with the people that we love around us
now! It is hard and no one said life would be easy but there is comfort in
knowing that there is always someone whom you can lean on through prayer...
Sorry to sound preachy, but it comes with experience...
Letterbox with joy and enjoy Gods creation....

Not everyone cares, but most of us do, and the rest can use the delete key....
I was sorry to hear about Rocky, and I think using your letterbox as a memorial would be a very nice idea.

The fact that David is a letterboxer and contributes to this group in my eyes makes it ok to post in here. I have a kitty who has been through a lot but is doing well now and I cannot imagine being without her. So, David, my condolences to your loss.

Lost my best friend of 13 years, Patches, our dog in April to
lymphoma. I still cry a lot. Thank you for the idea of a letterbox
in his memory. I think that's a great idea. So, see this did end up
being about letter boxing besides sharing with the LB Community.
For a lot of us pets are family members. So Sorry for your loss.
And I agree God is not punishing you. He is the great Comforter.
Lean on Him.

Not that you're taking a vote or anything......but my vote goes for making
Rocky a letterbox all Rocky's own. Not that concord's cool cat isn't a
great box -- I've never been to that area to search for the box -- but I'm
sure it is. But Rocky would deserve a box his own.

Rocky a letterbox all Rocky's own. Not that concord's cool cat isn't a
great box -- I've never been to that area to search for the box -- but I'm
sure it is. But Rocky would deserve a box his own.

It's called compassion. "Compassion is the basis of morality". We are so very sorry to hear of your loss. It's just a very tough time to go through. Your cat was a member of your family and I can understand that. Just do one day at a time. Thats about all you can do. A letterbox dedicated to Rocky is an excellent idea. Hang in there. My thoughts are with you.....Chuck
