The above beautifullness, is blooming in my garden, right now.......This is a gorgeous Bromiliad, that my dear sweet departed friend John gave me about twenty years ago---It sits in a pot, right where I planted it after he gave it to me, just outside my Dining Room door. It is delicate, but sturdy, too. It doesn't bloom all that often---in fact, it rarely blooms. But, since John died at the end of May, 2009---it has bloomed twice! This is most unusual, in every way. I choose to feel it is a message from him that he is doing alright, wherever he is.....And........Here below, is my dear dear wonderful-special pal......
My dear cat "Sweetie" is in the Hospital. I am beside--myself, as they say....This is the first time in the 11 years we have been together, that he has been sick. Worried? Oh, you bet your ass I am. He is my heart. He is my true love. He is my lifeline to all that is dear and special and unconditional, where "love" is concerned. He is with me, 24/7----My comfort, in every way. And he makes me laugh and he makes me smile and he warms my heart like no one else.....He is just about the dearest person I know. So.....he just has to be 'okay. Would you Please, Please, Please, say Prayers for him---I would appreciate it more than I can say..., and he will too.More To Come.......

Hiya Naomi, I hope by the time I posted this comment, Sweetie would have been recovering and resting well in your arms.
Take care and with the full bloom, I'm sure all would be fine. Big hugs!!!- Monday, August 2, 2010 at 1:31:00 AM PDT

I totally understand how important these furry friends can be.
Said a little one for you also to help you while he is being made well. I know that even when Mighty is just in the vets for a day getting his teeth cleaned, I miss him so.

Cats are wonderful pets. We have two and would feel totally lost without them. They are intelligent, sweet and undemanding. I am sure your Sweetie is truly a sweetie and I can see how he can be part of your life. My daughter in Long Beach has two cats and they are her joy – they are funny too. I will send strong healing light to Sweetie – he is a lovely friend.

My dear Naomi,
I can imagine that you are deeply concerned and feeling anxious about your dear friend Sweetie.
I do hope with all my heart that your lovely Sweetie will be healthy and well very soon and come to home to brighten your day.
I will pray and send positive thoughts to your dear Sweetie.
So beautiful the homage you did to your dear friend John. It's magical that the flower has unusually bloomed twice!
Many hugs.- Monday, August 2, 2010 at 11:06:00 AM PDT

Your flower is gorgeous and I too would take it as a sign from your friend. As for dear Sweetie, I will certainly pray for him. I secretly pray for animals all the time. Most people don't understand the bond humans and animals share. I believe the souls of animals are some of the purest out there and we are blessed to have them in our lives. I do hope Sweetie recovers quickly. *hugs* to you in this time of worry

What's wrong with Sweetie? I will definitely pray for your special little love.
If you need to talk to someone, you can always call me. You know I'll understand, since I have 5 of my own little loves, plus fish!
Oh Naomi, I'm so sorry... I truly hope Sweetie gets better fast. I mean it about calling me if you need to.
Your bromeliad is truly lovely, thank you for sharing it even when you're worried.

What a wonderful bloom! Yes, it is a message from your friend, a bloom sent from heaven.
So sorry about Sweetie. Do keep us abreast of what is going on. I'm in Savannah visiting my husband. I have to admit --I'm dithering here without my cat and dog. I'll be back in L.A. in August. Where the pets is where the home truly is!- Wednesday, August 4, 2010 at 6:06:00 AM PDT

I'm sad to think of Sweetie in the hospital and you not able to go and visit him. But if he's sick, then the hospital is the best place for him. And I know he'll be better soon, maybe he's already at home. I'm sending positive "get better soon" vibes to Sweetie, and to you too, Naomi!

Everyone out in blogland is sending good thoughts your way.
You might ask the vet if you can speak to Sweetie on the phone. That is often helpful to a little one's recovery.
We're all here for you, Nao, so hang in there.
