The
Rainbow Bridge Story
Just this side of heaven
is a place called the Rainbow Bridge.
When a beloved pet dies, it goes to the Rainbow
Bridge. There are meadows and hills and lakes for all of our special friends, so they can
run and play and swim or fly together. There is plenty of food and water and sunshine, and our
friends are warm and comfortable.
Animals who were ill and old are restored to
health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again,
just as we remember them from days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one
thing. They miss someone very special to them -- the person they left
behind.
Then a
day comes when one animal suddenly stops and looks into the distance. The eyes become
bright and intent; the body quivers with excitement. Suddenly, it breaks
away from the group, speeding over the meadow or through the lake - running,
swimming, slithering or flying, going 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. Happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the
beloved head. 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 the Rainbow Bridge together…
