Wat made u think I’z gonna do anything diffrent outside ?
awtside iz nawt sew grate akshully.
Picture by: DaraLynn. Caption by: DaraLynn via Our LOL Builder
On July 27th Matt, Elsa_Mama’s 14 year old son, lost his 10 month fight aganst leukaemia. Throughout this time Elsa_Mama, and Matt, showed great strength and dignity, kept strong by their faith.
Elsa_Mama sought light relief in ICHC, and we took her to our hearts and many of us cried with her when we heard of Matt’s passing.
A funeral mass is being held for Matt just about now. As so few of us can be there in person, I propose we show our respects on this LOL.
Please post an empty comment, or just the name “Matt”, for the first 2 minutes of the LOL.
After that, the Burfdai Fairy and CweenMJ have provided balloons for you to write a message on and release. Elsa_Mama knows we are doing this and I hope it gives her some comfort at this difficult time.
also, boomer, the younger brother of Chessie, our cute sleeping railroad cat cheezpeep, passed away on wednesday. perhaps we can send up a few balloons for him too; i’m sure matt wouldn’t mind sharing.
{{{{{lunarmommy, boomer, & famblee}}}}}
(oh, in cayse i did not splain qwite cleerly (iz too erly to be gud wif wurds), Chessie iz a Cheezpeep hooz abatar iz taht kyoot sleeping raylroad kitteh. Boomer wuz her baby (human) bruvver. lunarmommy iz not a morning purrson, an it iz very erly (for me, anyway) heer.)
Good thing I didn’t release the catnip-scented balloon for him, then.
I totally misunderstood.
{{{{{Chessie}}}}} I’m so sorry for your loss!
Me too!
(more cleerifying
i dont know if Boomer wuz a baby az such, just taht Chessie callded him her baby bruvver in her post abowt him)
(sorry to be messing dis up so much, been up all night, long story)
{{{{{Lunarmommy}}}}} It’s ok. We awl lubs u – and u izzint messin up.

Iz hard to say how old he mite be. I’z ober 50 an I’z still teh *baby sister* in my fambly. Love and comfort to u, too, Chessie in ur loss. {{{{{{{Chessie}}}}}}}

Each bloon is marked in shiny gold marker with abilities that she most admires in peeps and that Elsa_Mama and her Matt displayed. One says “Love”, one says “Strength” and one says “Compassion”. They all have “Laughter” written on them in shiny silver marker. With a smile on her face and a tear in her eye, she releases them and watches as they float over the meadow to mingle and play with all the others.*

*Cattails holds onto a balloon. The wind is blowing here and the balloon is tugging at the ribbon bobbing and swooping trying to pull free. Cattails lets go of teh ribbon and the balloon dips low, then starts to climb, dancing and swirling gaily in teh breeze rising higher and higher. Cattails watches as it frolics freely in the wind flying this way and that as it makes its way to a new and wonderful place. At last teh tiny speck that is teh balloon disappears in teh glint of the sun.* {{{{{{{Elsa_Mama foar Matt}}}}}}}

Oooh – dat beez a bery niec sentiment, elainet. *sniff*
I send heart-shaped ballons of all different colours, bearing the words:
“He who saves a single life, saves the entire World”
If you can, please be a blood donor/join the bone marrow register/carry an organ donor card. A bone marrow match had been found for Matt, but he was too sick to receive it. Another Cheezpeep is well on the road to recovery, having had a bone marrow transplant.
*Attaches balloons to cheezfrends’ heartstrings before releasing them*
*feels the tug on her heartstrings*
Me too!!!
Well said Ambercat
pea ess: re organ donor cards/stickers on driver’s license- make sure your loved ones/keepers know your wishes regarding organ donation, because IIRC they decide in your stead and must give permission, even with the card in your possession.
Laws vary from state to state — here in OR it is now printed permanently on the license, and state statute says it does not require the permission of anyone else. But it’s still a good idea to tell your decision-makers.
ooh, i yam rilly liking OR statutes. Do they have a statute of a lolophant that looks just like a real…oh wait… nebbermind…
Donut furget dat yew can donates plasma tew… up tew twys a week week week! Dis beh the nessissississary tew makes sum lyfsabin medisinz.

*touches her cheek to take a tear on her fingertip, and touches it to the balloon, before sending it aloft and watching it vanish into the heavens*
*releases a whole cascade of smaller balloons of many colours, all dangling streamers with catnip toys and jingly balls and treats, to drift across the Meadow, to amuse all the kitties who left behind a hole in the lives of grieving humans and all the kitties who never found their forever family while on Earth*
*takes a heart-shaped balloon the colour of the sun, and writes Boomer’s and Chessie’s names on either side in deep blue, with silver hearts and multicoloured rainbows around them*

I was sitting by the sea this morning at 10, watching the water. Thinking about how hard it must be to bury a child. And that life is not fair – that some should die so soon, their promise unfulfilled, their families left behind, grieving.
And still the waves rolled in and out, sweeping some bits of sand and rock away, depositing others back on the shore.
Peace and solace to you, Elsa_mama.

As usual I’m late getting on and reading all the posts for Matt & Boomer. As soon as I saw your abatar, I knew I’d have to get the tissue box. Now that box is about half empty. When you lose someone it’s always hard to read about another person’s loss, especially on this site. I’ve never seen such a caring, happy group (unless it’s my friends at work), always so thoughtful.
Your majesty (cweenmj), your story gift is truly heaven sent. That comes from a heart so big, the world can’t hold it.

Carefully selects a balloon the color of the sky just after the sun has slipped below the horizon. Writes: Boomer
Lets balloon go flying off, thinking of her own “baby” brother who died far too young, all these 21 years, 4 months, 27 days ago.

All the beautiful balloons are floating up in the sky. The big one in the middle says, “Matt–Forever young, forever strong, forever ours”
We will all remember.
And for Boomer too.
And I called my baby brother (who’ll be 50 at the end of the month) just to hear his voice after thinking about Matt and Boomer.
*releases large batch of multi-colored balloons before they take her with them*
I never would have thought that posting on a silly website would help me to gain so many thoughtful and wonderful friends. My prayers go out with these balloons for any who are in need of comfort.

All our love from Spain to Matt and Boomer.
I know that these lines were written for the fallen of WW1, but they seem appropriate here:
They shall grow not old
as we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them
nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
and in the morning
we will remember them.
These ar moast byootiful lions, annipuss! An so appropirate!

I’ve chosen a big, clear balloon filled with smaller red-heart shaped balloons, with “MATT” written on one side in silver and “BOOMER” on the other side … I release the balloon and it floats over the Meadow … higher and higher … carrying our earthly love up to meet the heavenly love.

Next a big THANK YOU to everyone who sent balloons up in Boomer’s name. Especially the blue & silver ones–he was a lifelong Dallas Cowboys fan.
Tomorrow be the visitations & then Monday the funeral. I think I can make it through them now.
Hopefully the watchman will help Boomer find all our kittehs & doggies (we had a few!).

Sawree I yam so verreh layte.

*rites on teh multikullerd, glittery balloons* Faith. Hope. Love. And the greatest of these is love.
*releases teh glittery balloons into teh sky, wher teh goldin morning sunlite katches them and sets them on fyre with teh lite*
*Into teh sky wing teh hummingburd and teh dragon; they katch those balloons in theyr mowths and karree them aloft – into teh hevvens!*
And suddinly below them, teh flowers in teh medow explodes with color and moshun – and teh hummingburd and teh dragon ar surrounded by teh flitter-flutters of hunnerts and thowsands of butterflies of awl kullers! Beeg bloo budderflies. Tynee purplol butterflies. Awl kullurs ar represented. Those budderflies lift up in a hyooj cloud lyke a raynbow and serve as escorts. And so teh balloons is karreed away on a whispur of a thowzand wings, lyke wings of angels. . . .
(Fangs to MaryO and Kevvnsgirl for posting teh linkies abuv to teh beautiful song “Calling All Angels.”)
Elsa_Mama and Chessie: may yor harts be filld with preshus memrees; may yoo fynd peace and healing in those memrees and in teh luv of famlee and frenz.
Also very layte. Ai releases 2 transparent balloons filled wif confetti of all the things they liked to do best inside. One says Matt and de otter Boomer.
*sits in the meadow adn watches the kitties adn goggies playing adn chashing the balloons still floating in the breeze*
It is never too late where there is no time…
*releases trnaslucent balloon with a glow inside it. As teh balloon rises, the glow brightens. When the balloon gets high enough, it pops, and a bright light expands out into the sky. The light casts a diffrent radiance over everyone it touches. The clear white of freedom for Matt, and a soft pink of comforting love for Elsa_Mama. The colors and warmth of love and comfort bathe everyone who has ever suffered loss, and bring peace.
*releases balloon filled with teh lub of cheezland. Teh lub is a glow dat warms efurry’s hart wen it iz most needed, an strengfens awl hoo falter. Teh lub is nebber ending an self-renooing.
