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 and water and
sunshine, 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.
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. The bright eyes are intent; the eager body quivers. Suddenly
he begins to break away 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 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 the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life
but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow
Bridge together.......
