Callie Lou was born in a litter of 6 babies to Angel.
Angel was a kitty that came to mommie and daddy's home not long before daddy died.
Mommie had always wanted a cat to keep in the house but daddy had never been too crazy about having a cat in the house, bad experiences from when he was a kid, so mommie had never had one that she could keep inside. When Angel 'showed up' mommie took her in to show her to daddy and he told her she should keep her in the house and take care of her, that she was a gorgeous cat.
Not long after daddy died mommie realized that Angel was pregnant, mommie was thrilled.
One night in early March of 2006 mommie was awakened by Angel on her bed, she was making odd noises. Mommie turned the light on and found Angel was ready to deliver her little family. Mommie got towels ready and sat for the next few hours beside Angel while she had one after the other of her babies. As they were delivered mommie cleaned them off and placed them at a nipple so they could have their first meal. She kissed each little head. One of the babies was a calico, Sara's sister, whom mommie kept and named Callie, she was the only calico of the litter. Sara had a bit of orange on her head, not much.
They were part Maine Coon Cat so they are large babies with long, luxurious hair, beautiful expressive faces and loads of attitude.
In 2012 mommie's health declined to the point that she couldn't take care of her babies any longer. One of her nephews that lives in Kansas had always teased her when he'd visit that he wanted her kitties, Bubba & Callie. The weekend before mommie got really bad and we had to bring her to live nearer us, he came to visit her and we were there visiting also. I asked him if he really wanted her kitties and he said, Yes, he really did. we knew that mommie could no longer take care of them and for whatever reason, she agreed for him to take them on home with him to Kansas. She seemed perfectly OK with him taking them. We realized later that her health problem was dementia and sister and I decided it was a 'God thing' that it worked out for our cousin to take Bubba & Callie home with him.
Not only were Bubba & Callie spoiled rotten by mommie and all of us but by Benny and his family. Over the years his daughter sent us pics of mommie's two babies. They had a wonderful life.
Kathleen, Benny's daughter, my cousin also, texted me last night that Callie had died and that they buried her in the yard with all the other pets they'd lost over the years, even their lizard.
Callie Lou is preceded in death by her sister Sara Lynn Vaughn and brothers, Bubba Dean Vaughn and Satan James Vaughn.
Bubba Dean will be missed here on this Earth.
We'll see you at the Bridge sweet girl.

I am here
I stood by your bed last night,
I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were... crying,
You found it hard to sleep.
I purred to you softly
as you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you,
I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."
I was close to you at breakfast,
I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times,
your hands reached down to me.
I was with you at the shops today,
Your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels,
I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today,
You tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you,
that I'm not lying there.
I walked with you towards the house,
as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my paw on you,
I smiled and said " it's me."
You looked so very tired,
and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know,
that I was standing there.
It's possible for me,
to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty,
"I never went away."
You sat there very quietly,
then smiled, I think you knew...
In the stillness of that evening,
I was very close to you.
The day is over... I smile
and watch you yawning
and say "good-night, God bless,
I'll see you in the morning."
And when the time is right for you
to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you
and we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you,
there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out...
then come home to be with me.

The Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water, sunshine and toys and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor, those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
Those who were abused or mal-treated have had their tears wiped away, and sit for as long as they want on the Golden Flowing Robes of God's Lap. They feel the touch of Pure Love on their heads and finally know happiness.
All the animals are happy and content, except for one small thing ~ they each miss someone very special, someone who was left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. The bright eyes are intent and the eager body begins to quiver. Suddenly, they breaks from the group, flying over the green grass, faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face, your hands again caress the beloved head and you look once more into those trusting eyes, so long gone from your life, but never absent from your heart. Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together.
