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 the 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 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 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. His bright eyes are intent; his eager
body begins to quiver. Suddenly, he 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...
