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 that they can run and play
together. There is plenty of food, water, and sunshine, and
our friends are warm and comfortable.
All
the animals that 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 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 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...
