The Rainbow Bridge

There is a bridge connecting Heaven and earth. It’s called the Rainbow Bridge because of its many colors. Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge 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, water and warm spring weather. The old and frail animals are young again. Those who are maimed are made whole again. They play all day with each other. There is only one thing missing . . . they are not with their special person who loved them on earth. So, each day they run and play until the day comes when all of a sudden . . .

one of them just stops playing and looks up . . .It’s nose twitches, It’s ears are up, It’s eyes stare up into the sky, It’s head tilts and suddenly It runs from the group . . .you have just been seen, and when you and your special friend meet again, you take him or her in your arms and embrace. Your face is kissed again and again. You look once more into the eyes of your trusting pet . . . then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together, never again to be separated.
