A Letter from the Rainbow Bridge - YorkieTalk.com Forums

eensor · 08-30-2005, 09:33 AM

Y'all are probably going to think I've lost it for sure now, but I think this is what Gracie would tell me if she could.......

Dear Mommy,

You don't have to cry anymore! Scruffy and I are at the Rainbow Bridge and we get to play with lots of animals here. It is always warm and sunny, and there are lots of treats!!! Oh, and guess what? Scruffy is young and can see and hear again! Everyday, Papa and Pappy and Grandmother come to get us and we get lots of loving from them! They are real fun and they are young and feel well too! Heaven is really neat! There is no such thing as "time" here, so we aren't sad without you and Daddy. It's hard to explain, but it's like we are here and there with you at the same time. Oh yeah, Mickey the Cockatiel is here, and so are Charlie and Nera! They knew all about us when we got here, and even though they are a dog and a cat, they get along great together! Everyone here does...all the wild animals and people's pets too! Of course I know that I am really your baby girl and not an "animal" at all!

Oh, by the way, I'm glad you got Lexy! You didn't know it, but I picked her out for you! I knew you would need her to help you get over losing me! On Earth, I would have been very jealous of her, but here things like that don't matter. You see, love never dies! Love is eternal. God made it that way. He is cool too, Mommy. He loves us so much! So, don't cry Mommy. We'll all be together again, and then it will seem like the wink of an eye.

I love you forever,

Gracie Mae

That is wonderful. I've lost two yorkies over the years & I would love to think that this would be the way that they felt.

Great post.

Reading this really touched me. This is beautiful and it brought a tear to my eye.

teri88 · 08-30-2005, 09:50 AM

How beautiful! Bandit lived such a short time, I love to think of him being there doing all of the things I thought we'd do together. Thanks for sharing these thoughts!

Oh man Elizabeth, that made me tear up! You have an uncanny ability to 'communicate' with Gracie and Lexi. That seems exactly what Gracie would say to you. And when you talk like Lexi, it seems like she is talking. I sincerely hope you can find some peace with Gracie's passing. It is obviously still very hard for you. I hope you don't take that comment as negative because I didn't intend it to be.

Of course not! I know what you meant! I think missing gracie will always be part of my life. She was priceless!

red98vett · 08-31-2005, 07:46 AM

that was beautiful. Made me cry but it was just beautiful. Your babies know you love them - I really believe that....but that part about Lexi had me really crying. Thank you for posting that - (I really need to get Kleenex back at my computer( I can hardly see to type this......that was so special.

rrosenberry · 08-31-2005, 07:52 AM

Aw,,, that made me cry, that is so sweet, that is exactly how I think of my babies that have passed. Just how I want it to be too.

fourdez · 09-01-2005, 03:48 PM

I think your baby said it very well indeed.

eensor · 09-23-2005, 02:20 PM

Dear Gracie, I thought about you so much today. Villette's Chanel and Cheri look so much like you! I miss you so much! I miss your little routines and habits and your kisses! I miss your silky hair in my fingers, and your little curled up tongue! I miss seeing you run and the wind in your hair and the way you would hold your little paw up for a treat! I miss our naps together. I don't know what Christmas will be like without you and Scruffy. I still have your stockings with your names on them. I'm going to get Lexy and Layla some too, don't worry! You were my little girl and so much of my heart is with you, baby. I'm so sorry I let you get hurt. If I had only been outside with you and Daddy, I would have gotten you out of the way. Love you forever, Mommy

simonandhallie · 09-23-2005, 04:04 PM

Oh Elizabeth! Your letters to Gracie make me cry and smile all at the same time! She was so lucky to be loved by you (as are Lexy and Layla) and to have you as a mommy! I love that you share her with us and that you write to her the way you do! You have a big heart and I feel like I know Gracie as much as I know Lexy.
