expansion of yesterday's post

hey folks mama had so much difficulty posting the pics yesterday so we are going to post all of them and tell you the extended story.

this was the first picture taken, when mama first saw them. she gave them a lot of space because daddy (we think, the one on the left) was not very happy and mama has been chased before by geese.

 this is the second one. they were definitely keeping their family on the move and being very good parents.

finally the family decided it was time to move on. we are glad mama loves animals as much as she does, because we are so happy she got these pictures!

STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!

Mama got tolded in no uncertain terms to stay away, and she did. Mama has been chased by da birdies (not these but da same kind) before so she not toopid bout it. They did let her take da pics which she hadta crop heavily. She dun like dese birds but any parents wif kids deserves space!

Mother's Day

It has been twelve years...
You gave me life
You gave me strength
You gave me courage
You gave me you.

You were the best Mother in the world
We never had it easy
No one believed in either of us
But you - no, WE - made it through

I am so sorry I wasn't there
That final year of your life
When things went so wrong
Though our bond grew tighter.

Your wisdom still guides me
Your voice lives on inside me
Though you're not here now
You live on within me forever

And as the days and years go by
And I approach the 40s myself
There is no distance so far
That can weaken my love

Rest in peace dear Mother
Have a great dinner with Grandma
Give her, Grandpa, Gayle and Ida hugs
And tell them all I love them just as much

Dedicated to and written for my Mother Ellen
February 28, 1956 - January 18, 2001
Also dedicated to:
Grandma, Grandpa and Grandpa's sister
And to my beloved Gayle
My second mother who rejoined Mom
The same day 6 years later (I think)

Pssttt...
A furry special Happy Mother's Day to my mama
Though she was a furry tough Queen Mom
And to my hoomin mama and nurse

Return

We felt that we needed to return... for mama's sake as well as in Auntie El's memory. Surely she wouldn't want us to be so sad, so we are returning. Later we will post new pictures - as soon as mama can figure out how to get them off of her phone or just post it from her phone. We have been hanging with her pretty consistently the last two days, and I have been following her like a shark following what will soon be lunch *giggle* can you tell I'm hungry for some stinky goodness by now? Cmon mama its been forever! I'm trying... mol

Footnote from Prince Nimbus:
We all know that El's fambly and friends miss her so very much. She hasn't been to the reflecting pond yet because she still cries a wee bit. You see, she didn't want to go either. But we are all going tonight. Now she HAS been to the private one that I have here at the mansion, and she has been quite fixated on Trooper. Sniffie and Tamir have been getting lots of extra love and I can tell you they love it. She's also met all my fursibs that came before and she has taken a particular liking to Astro, why I'm not so sure. He's the toughest one here, well except for Obnoxio, but rule number one is to never argue wif the resident Queen mol. We are all working on El's very own boutique right at the edge of the expanse here, where us felines can get hoomin attention and hoomins can mingle wif us anipals. El had the idea and we thought it was purrfect, and before you knew it, all sorts of hoomins were lining up to see us! We would get an occasional visitor, but it was either someone that worked with animals their whole lives and just couldn't be separated or someone visiting their fur fambly. She has even expressed a desire to work with the anipals that were feral in life who have still not come to join the rest of us. Some kittehs find it hard to leave their wild ways behind and Elinor has such patience. So please, dear mother-in-law don't be too sad, we all are watching over you and you know my mama is never far away. And Sniffie and Tamir still come and visit, especially when the kittehs are home alone. Cubby and Clifford, we must say, still haven't quite figured the whole ghost kitteh thing mol. And beware, Angel Tamir and Raz have had lots of time together, we fink to conspire against the girls! So beware Allie and Ellie! All the love from all of us, even those who you don't know.

Sniffie, Tamir, Nimbus, Snowflake, Obnoxio, Angel, Astro, and mama's hamster colony!

*cuddlepile* on Auntie El is why she couldn't say hi, we has her buried mol
