Tiramisu was my Birman kitty I lost to a major stroke Feb 2007.
In April the Bereavement Coordinator and I put together a pet loss and bereavement workshop. The second half of the workshop involved creating a memory box. It was well received and attended...so much so that we are holding a monthly pet loss support group.
Being part of that project really helped me deal with Tiramisu's death. I created a memory box and would like to share some pics of it. I used scrapbooking papers and materials. The boxes we used were cigar boxes.
(I used Laura Ashley scrapbook paper). The little carved box that her ashes are in fit into this cigar box, along with her favorite toy mouse, some pictures and a poem.
She was special, my little princess. She had a sweet soft voice and was always ready to share a cuddle. She had a quiet gentle way about her but yet she was determined and always kept Milo in his place, of course in the most ladylike way. She came into my life 11 years ago at a time when I really needed her (but didn't realize it), which sounds odd but I did.
I've since opened my heart to another kitty, Mieko and he is a comical clown but I know someday I will own another Birman. However, thinking of Tiramisu will always make me teary eyed and I will always love her to bits.
