There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth. It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of its many colours. 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. All the animals who have been ill and old are restored to health and vigour; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. Her bright eyes are intent; her eager body begins to quiver. Suddenly she begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, her legs carrying her faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and 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, never again to be separated.

well that brought a tear to my eye
My beloved KOKO 4 year old Maltese, left me on 6-26-10, Cant’t understand, why so soon? Did I do something wrong? Please forgive me if I did, I miss you so much, you took my heart with you, will never forget you, you were smart, rowdy and very content here with me , the grief is really hard. I love you!!!
Dear sweet Lena,
You did nothing wrong. Please don’t tear yourself up. In the natural order of things, there’s a season for everything; a time to be born and a time to die. A time to be left behind and a time to be reunited. The time to be reunited may not be soon or quick, but rest assured that time will come. God will see to it.
I once heard somebody say “Don’t cry because it’s over; rejoice because it happened”.
May the peace of God the Father, the sweet grace of the Lord Jesus and the blessed filling of the Holy Spirit keep the memory of the joy fresh in your heart.
Matthew
