It was a lovely morning at de bridge. SaraFerret was just sitting quietly outside her cottage when Lily, de newest little girl courier, flew up to sit beside her. She said, "SaraFerret, I have this important message from the Boss. Its seems that this ferret is crossing the bridge. By the way, do you think that I can ever ever be a bridgegreeter? I know I has such a long way to go since I haven't been at the bridge all that long. Is there anyone you need me to get for you? Oh yes, here is the note, I almost forgot to give it to you." "Ah Lily" I replied. "Bridgegreeters are appointed by de Boss. But you best be careful what you wish for. Now hurry and go fetch dese fuzzies while I head for de entrance." I made a mad dash cause I knew I was oh so late and I saw her waiting for me, so I quickly introduced myself, "Hi, I am SaraFerret and I am de bridgegreeter. Welcome to de Rainbow Bridge. Here you will have no pain or suffering. You will have run green grass forever and have lotsa friends. Did I mention de fun and games?" She replied, "My name is Angel and I belong to Mommy Rosie. She mentioned you quite a bit and she said that I would be coming her to see you and my friends. Do you really know my Mommy? I sure loved being with her, but I got so sick and I knew that I had to wait until Mommy woke up so I could say good bye to her. But I feel so much better now that I am here." I answered, "Angel, I don't know your Mommy personally although I have heard lots about her. I have heard that she is such a great person. I bet she was happy dat you were able to tell her goodbye. Oh, by de way, I notice dat you are carrying a heavy backpack with you, would you mind telling me what you have? You don't have to take it out, just whisper it to me." Den Angel leaned over very quietly and whispered in my ear, "I have a little stuffed toy dog and a small cloth bag with a piece of Mommy's heart--she has such a big heart-I don't think she will miss such a small piece of it." All of a sudden Max, her close companion, who had crossed de bridge before her jumped out de shadows and shouted, "Angel, Welcome!!!!!!" Oh she was so surprised dat tears ran down her eyes. Then Max told her about a surprise: "Angel you are gonna get special wings like SaraFerret and I are wearing, only in your own colors. So you will be able to fly about the clouds." So we went down de garden path toward de Wing House where de wings were stored. We opened de door and on de counter was a big box (of course). Angel opened de box and took out de wings--Hot Pink with black streaks. I helped her put on her wings and Max adjusted her halo. Den she ran to de big vanity mirror and gazed at her reflection. Den she turned to me and said, "Gee I wish Mommy could see me now." Den I gots an idea." We opened de door and went down de path to de Misitng Pond and sat down beside de cool clear water and with one swish we saw a vision of Mommy Rosie appear. Angel started waving and dooking with all of her might. "I love you Mommy. Thank you for loving me. You are so precious to me. I promise to visit you one day in your dreams. I don't hurt anymore. I have wings now and I soon I will be able to fly." Den she started to throw hugs and kisses and laid dem on a nearby shooting star which was headed to your house and by de time you should read dis it should have landed dere. And with another swish de vision was gone. Lily came rushing up with a group of fuzzies who gathered around us. Some seemed to know Angel. Others were introduced to her by Max. Den we continued down de road to de cottage where a party was planned. To be continued tomorrow. Lovey and hugs, SaraFerret, bridgegreeter [Posted in FML 6345]
