I miss Monkeyflower

I wonder how Kitty is doing...she and Monkeyflower were like peas in a pod...

I pray for kitty and family

Prayers for strength for her family.

Monkeyflower was a very special person. She helped me so much after my mom died suddenly a few years back. I will never for get her.

I just saw this news here a few minutes ago and am saddened to hear of this loss for her beloved family and our GLP Community.

[..no words..]

Godspeed and thank-you for contacting me privately (PMs) to chat.

Will miss your beautiful soul and your grace here.

RIP.

Thanks for sharing your journey...RIP and best wishes for Kitty and your family! RIP

Such sad news to wake up to.

Bless her soul and she is now with the one who loves her most. She was a brilliant person full of love and vigor and I will miss her posts. She brought me joy and I love her for that.

Sleep well, monkeyflower. I'll see you soon!

She had an autoimmune disease and her organs were shutting down.

Rip Monkey Flower. xxx

Every time I talked to Gayle we of course also talked about Kitty and we were joking about her a lot, like Kitty going out at night, dancing on tables, singing and drinking vodka and then she would pass out next to her, so when Flower would wake up, Kitty was there curled up and attached to her, sound asleep.

Then two Caturdays ago I sent her a card from American Greetings, with a talking cat wearing a crown (I named her Princess Patty), who presented Gayle with the Order of the Oranges and told her to give her regards to her niece Kountess Kitty.

In the card I wrote..

You must be curious how I got in contact with Royals like Princess Patty. Well, it's a bit of a strange story.

About seventeen years back, Queen Beatrix visited my town Deventer. It was a big event of course. People waved their tiny flags, Bea waved her queeny hand, there was big band music, children singing, all kinds of traditional games like biscuit biting, bag walking and egg running.

At one point I noticed this white cat with a crown doing her dumpings on my balcony. I shooed and said: "Just because you think you are royal, it doesn't mean you can sit where ever you like!" Well, long story short, we did get off on the wrong foot, but in the end she apologized, said that she liked my honesty and that life as a royal kitty wasn't easy at all with all these paparazzi around, gave me her number and we have been friends ever since.

So every now and than, on special occasions like these I can ask her for a favor, because no pictures were taken of her misstep way back then on my balcony...

So that's how the name Kountess Kitty came about. Such an extraordinary cat she is. She'll be alright.

RIP

I was wondering how Kitty become a countess haha. Thanks for sharing

I woke up to check the thread and remembered you are not here any more but in a much better place

My fave quote from Monkeyflower is " No one knows who the dancing rat dances for, but the truth is he dances for all of us"



She was so funny, such a joyful and witty spirit.

R.I.P.

Peace and comfort.

Monkeyflower gave us the gift of walking with her to the end ...

We all die alone - nobody can do your dying for you I experienced when my father had an extended slow decline for years.

Letting others in was her gift ... when most close down and push people that can’t possible understand away ...

She allowed us a window into the next place ...

RIP Monkeyflower ... a special glp’er

RIP
