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 vigour. 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....

We
thought of you with love today, but that is nothing
new.
We thought about you yesterday, and days before that
too.
We think of you in silence, we often speak your
name.
Now all we have is memories, and your picture in a
frame.
Your memory is our keepsake, with which we'll never
part.
God has you in his keeping, we have you in our
heart.
