Rainbow Bridge

                         
rainbow slandIt is firmly believed by most ani­mal lovers that their pets go to Heaven when they die and that they will be reunited with them one day.

  One of the sto­ries which gives us great com­fort is the leg­end of the Rain­bow Bridge which con­nects Earth to Heaven.
Our deceased pets wait for us on the earthly side of the bridge. They live and play in the sun­shine amidst the lush green grass, there is ample food and no dan­ger. All species live together peace­fully, the old and frail become young again, and the ill and dam­aged become healthy and whole. All is well, except for one thing — they miss the per­son who they loved and loved them when they were in their earthly bodies.

All will change one day, though.

Every now and then there is great expec­ta­tion amongst the throng of ani­mals wait­ing at the bridge. They know some­body is com­ing — will this be their day? Will it be their spe­cial person?

They stare at the mist, they see a shad­owy fig­ure com­ing towards them, and sud­denly one of the ani­mals becomes alert, pricks up his ears, and his eyes shine more brightly than they did before as he recog­nises his ‘own’ per­son arriv­ing at the bridge. With great joy the two run towards each other and smother each other with kisses, then they walk together over the Rain­bow Bridge into the land that knows no parting.

One day we’ll all be together again.
