Fw: Tribble our kitty cat 1/3/2015

[Anne Marie Lavigne <http://profiles.yahoo.com/ajamlavigne>]

To our family and friends, 
Artie and I want to share with you the email below that our wonderful friends,Â
 Bhavani and Dick, shared with us.  Each of them is suffering a great deal.  
If any of you are drawn to send a brief caring message, I know it would mean a 
lot.  Their precious cat, Tribble, was a treasured member of their family 
for 22 wonderful years, that they needed to have put to sleep, but it also 
follows that when you feel so much love for a special one, their passing 
can be that much more painful.  And so it is for Bhavani and Richard.
When Bhavani and I were reminiscing today, IÂ suddenly remembered that when she,
 Bhavani, was suffering from a brain tumor and had returned home to recover 
following a long hospital stay, Tribble would frequently jump on her bed and 
gravitate to Bhavani's head for long stretches.  She would use her paws to 
knead Bhavani's head repeatedly (a lot like offering a massage) and 
ultimately she would stretch out and rest over Bhavani's head as they exchanged 
some special moments.  I found this to be very moving and one day as it was 
happening, Bhavani whispered to me, "Tribble is healing me," which is what IÂ 
felt as well.  At the very least Tribble contributed enormously to Bhavani's 
full recovery.  
For those of you who never met Bhavani or Richard but have heard us speak of 
them, please know that receiving a caring message would be very helpful.  
Some of you may better remember Bhavani by her birth name until the year 2000,
 which was Margaret.  She has been my very dear and precious friend 
for the past 40 yrs or so.
Bhavani's email address is:  http://www.myself.com/~Bhavani  ; and again, only if you 
feel so drawn.
With love, gratitude and a great deal of sadness -Anne Marie and Artie
PS  And Terry, I hope your precious one, "Menou," is recuperating well.  So 
much love to you, Mark and Menou at this time.
PPS  I realize this is also going out to some of you who are already aware of 
Tribble's passing.  I don't really know why I'm including you here as such, 
but I do know that it feels right.  Perhaps we can all join together in 
sending loving and positive thoughts to Bhavani and Richard.
