Sad Day

Some day I hope to be out of the brain fog that has settled in my head. I finished the quilt I was making for my soon-to-be DIL's great grandmother in time to overnight it to her so that she got it on Christmas Eve. Close call there. I was going to make my 3 y/o grandson a SuperHero quilt for Christmas but there just was not enough time. Now I have to pack up all my quilting supplies and get ready to move. We have decided to buy a house here in NY since we will probably be here until DH retires. We desperately need the room with DD and here little one living with us. So I don't know when I'll be able to get back to quilting again.

The good news is, we found a house that will be a perfect fit, made and offer and the owners accepted. We are supposed to close on March 7th. I'm excited. It has a full house basement with two bedrooms and a room that can be a kitchen. We're going to re-do it a bit and make DD and apartment, me a huge roomy quilting room, and DH a place for his Flight Simulator. Between a whilrwind afternoon of looking at houses in the cold, damp rain, dealing with mortgage people, lawyers and everything else that goes with buying a house, my brain is in a fog.

The sad news is, we had to send our beautiful Comit over the Rainbow Bridge today. She was almost 14 y/o and had developed diabeted. The vet originally thought it was a food allergy. By the time she figured out that it might be diabetes it was too late. I have cried until I can't cry anymore at the moment. DH was very supportive and cried right along with me as she was more his little girl for the last few years. But she is no longer sufferering or in pain. But I miss her so much as I've had her since she was 5 weeks old. This didn't help with the brain fog either.

Congrats on the house and {{{{{{{{{{{Mika & DH}}}}}}}}}}} about the baby. I KNOW how you feel since it has only been a few weeks since we had to send Reno (Black Cat) on her final trip to the Rainbow Bridge. CiaoMeow >^;;^<

Gosh Mika, I am so sorry about your Comit. I am sure she will be missed. The one thing I know when I see the loss of a beloved pet be so great is that they probably had a really good home and life with their humans. I am sure Comit did. Good luck with escrow and the move. That sounds exciting. HOpe you are able to sneak in some quilting in the meanwhile. Hugs, TAria

Mika, I'm so sorry about Comit! I know how awful it is when it's necessary to make that final decision -- and yet it is necessary, isn't it? {{{Hugs}}}

On a happier note, congratulations on the new house -- I hope you will all be very happy there. :)

I know how much you'll miss Comit - saying goodbye to our four-legged friends is so difficult to do. Think of the days when she was healthy and happy, and know that she's that way again. But also know that you and DH are in my prayers tonight that you'll find comfort soon.

On a happier note, congratulations on the house. I don't envy you the moving part, but the excitement of creating a new home outweighs the downside! It sounds like it will be close to perfect for all of you.

Dear Mika, I am so sorry - nothing hurts like losing a loving furbaby. Comet will be happily playing with her friends until the day you call her name. Gentle hugs for you and your family.

Di In not so hot Vic. Australia, thank goodness.

A mixture of emotions for you to deal with, Mika. That is always exhausting. Be proud that in the midst of all you had to cope with, you remembered your little furry friend and did the kindest thing for her. Once the move is over, you will be able to unscramble, and get back to 'normal'. Hope the house purchase goes smoothly. . In message , Mika writes

So very sorry about your loss. I'm proud that you loved her enough to let her go quietly and painlessly. Sending gentle hugs and hurting with you, Polly

Many hugs to you. I'm sad for you at the loss of Comit .... she sounds beautiful and wonderful. But a new house calls for a new fuzzy one, when you're ready to find a new love.

Thanks Laurie. I'm still on overload today and can barely think straight. But I know it will get easier in time. At least I've got the house to occupy my thoughts when I can focus on it.

Hugs, Mika

Thanks Mary. Comit has joined Pookie Bear, Sarge, Reno and all the other QI's at a pain-free, suffering-free, happy, fun, quilt frame in the sky. I know she's not sufferering anymore but it's hard to let go. The vet let DH and I stay and hold her while they put her to sleep. So she was being loved when she went. That made it a little easier.

I'm seriously considering getting Harley and Buster microchipped before we move. Harley does his best to sneak out the door anytime he catches it open. Being in a new neighborhood I would hate to lose him if he sneaks out and doesn't know where he's at.

I'm so sorry about your Reno too, Mary. We can grieve together over them.

Hugs, Mika

Thanks TAria. Comit had a wonderful, long life and was loved so very much. She was such a serene little lady. Her presence will be missed so very much.

As far as the house, we are really excited. We have been in the tiny house for 7 year now and it's just to small for 3 adults and rambunctious toddler. The new one had enough room in the basement for us to make DD an apartment and a nice sized quilting space for me. So we will have the living area upstairs and she and DGS will have an apartment in the basement. It even has an outside entrance so she won't have to go through our space to get outside. We're pretty excited.

Hugs, Mika

Thanks Sandy, I know you can understand since you have recently been through it too. It is awful to have to make a decision like that. But I couldn't stand to see her suffer any longer, especially at her age. She would have been 14 this year so she had a good, long life and was so loved all those years. DH and I got to be with her and hold her as she went over the Rainbow Bridge and that was good.

Thanks so much. We are really excited about it. We'll have so much more room. This place has been home for 7 years and I was hoping our next move would be OUT of NY but oh well. It looks like we'll be here for a few more years now. So I'll enjoy having a larger sewing/quilting space. I have all kinds of ideas of how I want to finish it out.

Hugs, Mika

Thanks Louise. Just know that she is with Pookie and Sarge and that's she's not suffering anymore makes it somewhat easier to let her go. But I miss her so much. She was my little girl of the cats. Thanks for the prayers.

The move is really the only part I'm dreading. The good thing is, if we actually get to close on the date we chose, we'll have 2 or 3 weeks to do some cleaning, painting and stuff like that and get moved before we actually have to be out of here. So that helps a lot.

Hugs, Mika

Thanks so much Patti. It is exhausting. It would have been easy to get lost in the paperwork and drama of the house stuff and lose sight of Comit's health problems. But She was just such a part of me/us that I couldn't let her get left out. It was a very difficult decision but in the end, I had to think about her quality of life. I couldn't bear to think of my little Princess suffering anymore.

I certainly hope things do unscramble and get back to normal after the house closes and we get moved. I'm ready for some down time to rest and clear the brain fog.

Hugs, Mika
