    It is with the absolute heaviest heart that I write this for Carolyn. Her PM says:

    She said I could update you all.

    (((((((((((((Carolyn))))))))))) There are not enough tears in the world to express our sadness and heartbreak for you. BigMac.....always larger than life, always there, now at peace and pain free.

    Gentle Journey, BigMac. LL hearts are breaking and we will miss you......we all love you. Carolyn...we all hold you close in thought and prayer. We are so, so, so very sorry.

    We will light a candle to guide BigMac on his way.

    "My heart has become my enemy...for I have lost a dear friend this day."

    I haven't the words, Carolyn...this is just the saddest moment.
    The world has become a smaller and colder place today.

    Land softly, Bigmac, our wonderful sweet friend...and know that you and your momma have touched hearts around the world.

    In abject sorrow...

    There are no words. There are only tears. I'm just sitting here weeping.

    At every juncture, you knew your cat. You knew when he was happy and when things were just not "right." I do believe our cats are often smarter about life than we are and they teach us important lessons if we are only smart enough to listen. And sometimes, they try to save us from the pain of losing them. I know in my heart if you could have given Big Mac another life to add to his nine, you would have done so without a moment's hesitation. Instead, he made his choice to save you that decision.

    Fly free Big Mac and land softly. Lights will shine in Lantus Land to guide you to the Bridge. There are so many very special and much loved kitties who will be there to greet you and keep you safe. They will show you the best meadows to run and play in and where there are butterflies to chase. They will be there to wait with you until you are joined by the one you love best.

    Oh, no, poor Carolyn,she went above and beyond for that handsome boy! ((Hugs))) to Carolyn...take comfort in the knowledge that we all loved him too, and when he crossed, it was surrounded by our love and buoyed by yours.

    Fly free and land softly in a beautiful green place where there is no more pain, BigMac. Look in on your Momma sometimes; she'll feel that warm little shift in the wind on her cheek and know it's you nearby. Hold her gently in your heart 'til you meet again.

    Every day, several times a day, I would come to Lantus with a prayer in my heart that no candle would ever be needed for Big Mac. Words seem so inadequate to convey how deeply the loss of you beautiful and beloved Big Mac affects the hearts of so many.

    My deepest, most sincere, and most heartfelt sympathy to you Carolyn, to your DH, and to all who knew and loved him. He fought so hard, went through so much.....may all your memories of him help you through the "moments" and may it help you to know how many, many hearts go out to you. My heart just breaks for you.......just so sad. He was so loved......always remember that love.

    My heart is broken for you. BigMac was a hero and a legend in Land Land. This is the end of an era. If ever a kitty was iconic in our world, it was BIgMac.

    The two of you were a team. He and you worked so hard to overcome all that came his way. I know that he wanted to fight this with you, and for you.

    The time has come for him to rest, but he is not gone from our hearts, and he will certainly never be forgotten. There could not be a more beloved kitty.

    He is among his many friends at the Bridge. For me, the Bridge is a place in our hearts where the bond of love goes on, even when we are physically separated.

    My deepest condolences go out to you and your family, in your time of loss. We grieve with you.

    Words cannot even bring justice to the tears streaming down my face and the pain that I am feeling in my heart.
    I have lit a candle for your precious BigMac, to guide his way across the bridge to be joined by so many of
    our angels that have passed before him.
    They are waiting for him, to embrace him.

    The 2 of you are so so special to us here. Your devotion, generousity, your kindness and devotion have touched so
    many and to me personally when Max was so high and then oh so low.

    Fly free dear sweet BigMac. You are loved by so many and will be missed dearly.
    I am so sorry Carolyn.

    *crying* I am so sorry. I wish I could give you a real hug Carolyn. I know nothing will make you feel better. I will never forget your special boy - he will always have a spot in my heart. We greave with you.

    I want you to be kind to yourself, I would have tried everything you did. I wished and hoped with all of my heart that you would have BigMac for many more years. You are an amazing Mom and BigMac had a life time of love. I know in my heart that he was meant to be yours and only yours. He is by your side in spirit. Watch for signs that he is with you and okay.

    These two poems were posted on Maverick's goodbye post the night I lost him. I read that thread every day and the poems meant so much to me. I know you've seen them already. But I hope they give your heart a boost like they did mine.

    I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.

    Then someone at my side says: "There, she is gone!"

    "Gone where?"

    Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side and she is just as able to bear the load of living freight to her destined port.

    Her diminished size is in me, not in her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says: "there, she is gone!" There are other eyes watching her coming and other voices ready to take up the glad should: "Here she comes!"

    THE EULOGY
    Look not where I was
    For I am not there
    My spirit is free
    I am everywhere

    In the air that you breathe
    In the sounds that you hear
    Don't cry for me Mom
    My spirit is near

    I'll watch for you
    From the other side
    I'll be the one running
    New friends by my side

    Smile at my memory
    Remember in your heart
    This isn't the end
    It's a brand new start

    I am lighting a candle for BigMac.

    my heart breaks for you. we love them so much and we do everything we can but sometimes it is just their time and they are ready to go. i think many stay here longer because they know we are not ready, and they linger until we are as ready as we can possibly be to survive such a loss. he is free now, whole and healthy at the bridge, and he has so many beloved marvelous kitties to greet him and keep him happy til it is time for you to reunite once again.
    we'll never forget him. i know you'll feel him around you soon, tho, if you haven't already.
    peace and love to you and your family at this sad time.
    fly free, soar high, and land softly, BigMac.

You did everything you could for him and I'm sure he knows how much you loved him...with all your heart and soul. And you know he loved you because he fought so hard to be with you. But he is free now...free from pain and he is probably running right now in the beautiful green grass with all our other GA kitties.

    Nooooooooooo- oh, no, Carolyn. ((Carolyn)) Tears are falling and so many hearts are heavy. We all loved your boy so much - he and you have become and are so special to all of us. Why oh why won't they listen to us sometimes when we know our furry companions so well.

    I won't repeat all of the familiar statements that we all know are so true - he IS flying free - he IS out of pain - and we know that but the sadness is so heavy today - my heart goes out to you, my friend, and I so wish I were near enough to give you a big hug.

    Your boy will forever be a HUGE part of all of us and of this board - you shared him with all of us and we loved him with you.

    Please know that we share your sadness and tears and if there is anything we can do, please let us know - although I know nothing can ease your pain right now.

    Sending many, many, many comforting prayers and thoughts and hugs to you across the miles.

    Love you,

    Too many tears right now, just so so sorry Carolyn. I felt uneasy last night and I got on BigMacs post to visit at about 2 AM or so. I had an overwhelming need to be close to him. I hope I was able to get through to him, I felt that I was, and so I hope you can take comfort that he had a visiter that stayed with him last night for a few hours.

    I wish I could be with you to give you a big hug. I haven't known you and BigMac for long, but I felt that I've known you for much longer. I followed every post and waited for news each day. I am so truly sorry to be reading this now, and I pray BigMac will be at peace with all of those kitties that are already at the bridge, and will be there waiting for you someday. You were the best mama bean, and see, I told you, you could fit in that cage. I am gratfull that I shared that story with you and BigMac was able to sleep on your leg yesterday. Let that comfort you now.

    I will also light a candle tonight

BigMac was bigger than life, a kitty with so much personality. You loved him like no one else could have, and he loved you just as much. I'm so sorry you have to suffer through this. BigMac is always going to be walking right along beside you, never far from your side, healthy and happy. I'll be thinking of you, Carolyn.

    There are so many wet keyboards in Lantus Land today. Like everyone else that candle on the posting was a shock.

    BigMac tried as hard as he could, as did you, and now he has gone to join his many furry friends. Whenever you feel sunshine on your face or a light breeze caress your cheek, know that it is BigMac reaching out to touch you to try to give you some comfort.

    The tears will dry on your face but continue to run in your heart for years if not forever.

    Good By BigMac, you will be missed but never forgotten, fly free and land softly where you will be young and healthy again.



    “If tomorrow starts without me,
    And I'm not there to see,
    If the sun should rise and find your eyes
    All filled with tears for me;
    I wish so much you wouldn't cry
    The way you did today,

    I know how much you loved me,
    As much as I loved you,
    And each time that you think of me,
    I know you'll miss me too;

    So when tomorrow starts without me,
    Don't think we're far apart,
    For every time you think of me,
    I'm right here, forever in your heart "

    (((Carlolyn))) my heart is broken for you and am in tears writing this. I can't imagine what you are going through. I am glad you were able to be with Big Mac when he passed. He was such a special kitty. Unfortunately our furbabies aren't here with us long enough. I pray for healing for your heart. Please take care and know you have many friends here for support. My deepest sympathy is with you. Take care.

You were an amazing bean and you both loved each other so much. I wish there were words to help..... there are none. But you and your family, and Big Mac are in my heart. I am so sorry. This is just such a shock. Sending love and hugs....

    Oh My friend, I just feel shattered hearing of this...Tears flow, a dear LL Legend has left us.
    I just lit Copper' candle from MJ for Big Mac's journey to the Bridge to light his way--Cant stop crying, feel like I have lost one of my own..
    There was never a better Team, A more devoted to each other pair,a more loving twosome than you & Big Mac...
    But we never want any of ours to suffer, even though we know We will....But the days & years we had with our furbabies, is a time we will always cherish & remember..
    If I could put my arms around you, I would let you cry on my shoulder..And I on yours.
    You & Big Mac are a beacon here on FDMB...We all have been touched by you both..
    Wrote this & sending it to you & Big Mac:

    If you must leave, Go Softly...
    For I could not have Loved You More,
    For you could have been Anything,
    But The Love Of My Life...

    Fly Free Big Mac, no more pain, and land softly on the other side...
    Love you both ...from us>

    Carolyn,

    I'm so very stunned and sorry I just don't know what to say. I feel your loss so personally as we all do. I wish there were something I could do to make it all better and bring BigMac back. You loved him so much and did everything you could to save him. He could not have had a better mom and he knew that and loved you back just as much. He really tried to get better but just couldn't. The spirit was willing but the body gave out.

    Please be kind to yourself and take care while you mourn this terrible loss. We're all here for you when you want to talk.

    We are so very heartsick to read about BigMac crossing the bridge. Such a brave and fearless fellow who loved him mamabean so much. He was a fighter to the end. You did such a fantastic job loving and caring for BigMac. Wish we could do more than express our grief and offer online comfort. We will keep you close in our hearts as you grieve the passing of your beloved BigMac.

    Gandalf will welcome Big Mac at The Bridge, I am sure of it. Although he was OTJ, he was still a Levemir boy.

I see his bright, beautiful star in the heavens tonight and I know that he is sending comfort and love to you, Carolyn. He fought a fantastic fight with his mamabean always at his side. He'll always be by your side in his special place: in your heart.

    We grieve with you tonight, dear friend. It was BigMac's time, and he spent a gentle, loving hour with you before he passed. We all loved him, and we will miss him. We are lighting our candle for your boy. Fly Free, BigMac, 'till we meet again.

    I was so hoping that BigMac had one more miracle left in him. It's unfair that they can't live forever. My heart is broken for you - not for BigMac, because I feel that he made his own decision that it was ok to let go. He knew you would fight forever for him if he wanted you to. Lucky, lucky boy.

I have prayed for BigMac, and I will continue to pray for you and your family.

    ((((Carolyn)))))).... BigMac... tread softly by the Rainbow Bridge, for legend says you must.
    Those who know of Special Cats, for you do wait with so much trust.
    They know the love you gave so freely, with your special looks and ways,
    They know she who loved you dearly, and will for all her days.

    There are some who never met you who have a hole within their heart
    Please tread lightly, softly, gently, stop and purr as you depart
    For there are many gone before you who are waiting for you there
    They will show you all that's needed - now breathe in the cool fresh air.

    There are angels there to play with, and long romps among the trees
    There are lovely flowers that bow their heads, as you nap and feel the breeze.
    There will come a lovely morning when you'll raise your head and see
    That the time is right to once again place your head on mommy's knee.

    Carolyn... wanted to tell you how sorry I am... tears got in the way... Oh Carolyn... my heart breaks...

    I was so hoping for that miracle also. I also gasped out loud when I saw this. There is just never enough time. Never. I am so sorry. I know how much you love BigMac and how hard you have been trying to bring him back. Anyone who loves their fur babies like you do, I do, all of us here do, understand what is written on Tucker's urn..."If love was enough, you'd live forever". (Or something very similar to that).


    Carolyn...My deepest sympathies and love to you...be kind to yourself in the days ahead. You were a wonderful mom to Mac and he loved you, oh so much!

    I am so so sorry that you lost your Big Mac. I two have a hole in my heart. No words can truly express how I feel. I had such high hopes that he would make it. You did everything in your power to help him, but it was his time. I'm glad that you were able to spend time with him and he slept on your leg. I know he felt at peace. Big Mac was one of us and he will be deeply missed.

    My thoughts and prayers will be with you during this difficult time.
