Patient Tributes

Rainbow Bridge

Anonymous

Just this side of Heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.  When a beloved pet dies that has been especially close to someone here on earth, that pet goes on to wait for his special person at a place called rainbow Bridge.  At Rainbow Bridge, all of these special friends who have been feeble and old, or devastatingly ill, are now restored to vibrant health and vigor.  those who were hurt and maimed are made whole and strong again, the way we remember them in our dreams of days long gone by.

At Rainbow Bridge there are lovely green meadows filled with colorful wild flowers, sparkling crystal blue ponds, and sun drenched golden hills.  It’s a wonderful magical place where they can run and swim and play.  There is plenty of  nourishing food to eat and cool clear water to drink.  Warm bright sunshine covers them during the day and the night skies are brilliant with stars as soft whispering breezes lull these special friends to sleep.

These pets are very happy and content at Rainbow Bridge except for one thing.  They each miss that very special someone who had to be left behind.  Day after day they run and play together, until the time comes when one of them seemingly for no reason, stops whatever he’s doing and looks far off into the distance.  His bright eyes are intent, his eager body quivers.  Suddenly he begins to run, leaving all the others, flying over the green grass, his strong 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.  His happy kisses rain upon your face as your hands again caress his beloved head.  You look once more into loving trusting eyes so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

The waiting is over now as you both cross over Rainbow Bridge entering Heaven, never, ever to be parted again……
