Just inside of Heaven is a place called RAINBOW BRIDGE. When an animal who has been especially close to someone dies, that pet goes to RAINBOW BRIDGE. There are meadows and hills for our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been 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 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, someone 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. His bright eyes are intent; his eager body begins to quiver. Suddenly he runs from the group, flying over the green grass, his 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, never to be parted again. 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, long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross RAINBOW BRIDGE together. (Author Unknown) This was sent to me by a friend after I told them about feeling once again the tumor that has returned in my Tazy's little body :-( I have yet to let anyone know on the FML about this, so I am doing so now. It is with a GREAT SADNESS in my HEART to let you all know that the tumor has grown once again and it is now just a matter of time for my PRECIOUS Tazy :-( As you all probably remember Tazy has lymphosarcoma, but I was praying so very desperately for a miracle of remission, but to no avail, for it is not to be!!!! As I said once before I will not let him suffer, and I will let him go with the dignity he so very much deserves. PLEASE keep my Tazy in your thoughts and prayers!!!!! WITH A VERY SADDENED HEART, Dawn, and the Terrible Two's Gang, Tazy, Trouble, Rosy, and the 4 lb fuzz, Baby Joey http://community.webtv.net/tazyd/AllAboutMyFerrets http://community.webtv.net/tazyd/My4LeggedChildren http://community.webtv.net/tazyd/FamilyAlbum [Moderator's note: The Rainbow Bridge is posted frequently. Every couple of months it's time to let it through again. I guess it's time. BIG] [Posted in FML issue 3310]
