I saw this post a few times the past few years. It has always moved me. I read it when I lost one of my pets, a little over a year ago.
Only those of us who love animals can understand this....very well known but has to be brought out every once in a while......
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 our special friends so they can play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill or 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 gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing?they miss someone very special to them who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent, his eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You?.have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling to each other in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face?your hands caress the beloved head and you look once again into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. It is then?that you cross the Rainbow Bridge together??
Life is good!
