RAINBOW BRIDGE
A wonderful woman, by the name Lynn Zemel, told me this saying one night, while I was talking
to her on the phone . By luck I came across in one of my searches on the computer and decided to have it here
on this website.
I would like to think, that when I make the great transition myself, that I will be
greeted by all the animals I have loved in my life.
It's one of those passages, that if you don't start crying when you read it, then frankly,
I don't think you're human or have a heart.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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 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 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....

Missy, just one of many of my former cats whom I've had the pleasure to have in my life and is now in the Land Of Bast.
