I am truly sorry for this indescribable loss you are experiencing today! Praying for comfort and peace as you grieve! When I had to put my 17 year old cocker to sleep last year someone gave me this poem (which someone above mentioned) and I hope that it will bring some comfort to you today:
The Rainbow Bridge (author unknown)
There is a bridge connecting heaven and earth! It's called the rainbow bridge because of the many colors! Just this side of the rainbow bridge there is a land of meadows, hills and valleys with lush green grass. When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this place. There is always food and water and warm spring weather. The old and frail pets are young again. Those who are maimed are made whole. They play all day with eachother, but there is only one thing missing, they are not with their special person who loved them on earth! Each day they run and play until the day when one suddenly stops playing and looks up! The nose twitches! The ears are up! The eyes are staring! And this one runs from the group! You have been seen, and when you and your special friend meet, you take him or her into your arms and embrace! Your face is kissed again and again, and you look once more into the eyes of your trusting pet as you cross the rainbow bridge together, never to be separated again!
Much love, hugs and prayers! Mary |
