I'm am so sorry for your loss. I know that empty, lonely feeling of losing a pet only too well.

I know that animals are placed in my life for a reason, usually I need help facing situation, or I need to learn something. My very first cat came to me while in grad. school. I battled severe depression shortly after enrolling and it was my cat that got me through it, believe it or not! I no longer have that cat, and I no longer have depression.

For me, my cat came into my life to help me through this situation. I'm a better, stronger person because of this experience, and I had unconditional love from an animal.

I've had my dogs for a little over a year. Who knows what crisis they will help me through in the future.

Your Missy helped you when you were most vunerable. She's left you now, but she didn't leave you where she found you. You, too, are a stronger person for all you went though, you may not know that yet.

I hope I'm making sense. You are in my prayers.
