He Came to Visit Last Night
I have to write about what happened last night because there is no way I can NOT write about it.
Yesterday(July 4th 2004) marks 9 months to the day that my beloved Bogus Khan was down to his final day and hours in this world.
Last night after Thom and the kids were tucked in bed and asleep, I knew that I had to take the time to honor and remember the night that I stayed by Bogus as he was leaving this world and going on to Rainbow Bridge(although at that time I didn’t know that Rainbow Bridge existed). I went to the living room and took the large white vanilla scented pillar candle and a piece of purple crushed velvet and brought it out to the studio. My darling Cloud kitty(a beautiful snow white male) somehow sensed that something special was happening that night.
He normally goes and sleeps on the living room couches, but last night he jumped up on my bed onto the lilac comforter in the very spot where Bogus passed on, and laid down to go to sleep. I talked to him and got it across to him that I wanted him to stay and remember Bogus with me.
He opened his Sapphire blue eyes, nuzzled my face, then laid down and went to sleep. He slept in that very spot, while I was reading,from the first website where I posted Bogus’s picture and tribute, until just a few minutes after midnight. Suddenly Cloud woke up, looked around with wide eyes, washed his front paws, then jumped down and walked over by the desk in the studio to another one of Bogus’s favorite spots, and laid down in that very spot, looked around again, then went back to sleep.
I may be going out on a limb for saying this, but I am convinced that Cloud kitty may have seen Bogus’s spirit/ghost last night. Me? I “felt” his presence there with us last night all the way up until 1:30 am when I was finally sleepy enough to go to bed.
I wanted to stay up all the way until 4:30(the hour Bogus passed) but I was just too tired and sleepy to do so. When I blew out the candle, turned out the light and went to bed, Cloud woke up, jumped up on my bed, nuzzled my face again, then left. I don’t know how long it took for me to fall asleep, but I do know that I suddenly woke up again at exactly 4:00 am, which would have been about 30 minutes before Bogus passed away that long, sad night of Sunday, October 5th, at 4:30 am 2003.
I didn’t really believe it before, although I have read a number of accounts from other people who have lost pets, but after last night, I truly do believe that pet’s spirits can and do come back to “visit”.
All My Love,
