Welcome to my Rainbow Bridge.
This page is dedicated to Freckles, a wonderful cat who is now at Rainbow Bridge waiting for us. Freckles left this world and went onto Rainbow Bridge on Aug. 10, 2001. She is terribly missed but will never be forgotten. She will forever be in our hearts. We love and miss you Freckles!
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone
here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all 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 have 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 to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one
suddenly stops and looks in the distance.
His bright eyes are
intent. His eager body quivers.
Suddenly he begins to run
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, so long gone from your life, but
never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together..........

The Last Farewell
Come with me my gentle love
And let me hold you near
I'll sooth you with my softest words
And never mind the tears.
I'll whisper words of love to you
So you will always know
How much my heart is breaking now
As I gently let you go.
We've traveled years and miles , we two
You've been my constant friend
And now the kindest gift I give
Brings us to this end.
Your legs grew weak, your eyes grew tired
I watched time take its toll.
In my heart you're still the kitten
I held so long ago.
I cannot watch you suffer now,
My love is much too deep.
So close your eyes my little love,
I'll hold you as you sleep.
I'll stroke your soft, soft, silken fur
And gently ease the pain
And pray to all the gods I know
That we will meet again.
I knew this day would come my love
I knew it from the start.
I did not know the price would be
A large piece of my heart.
I'll grieve for you because I must
I'll shed hot, heavy tears
But the sorrow of this day won't dim
The love we shared for years.

Just think of him as resting
from the sorrow and the tears.
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years.
Think of how he must be wishing
that we could know today,
how nothing but our sadness
can really go away.
And think of him as living
in the hearts of those he touched...
for nothing loved is ever lost
and he was loved so much.

BEYOND THE RAINBOW
As much as I loved the life we had and all the times we played,
I was so very tired and knew my time on earth would fade.
I saw a wondrous image then of a place that's trouble-free
Where all of us can meet again to spend eternity.
I saw the most beautiful Rainbow, and on the other side
Were meadows rich and beautiful - lush and green and wide!
And running through the meadows as far as the eye could see
Were animals of every sort as healthy as could be!
My own tired failing body was fresh and healed and new
And I wanted to go run with them, but I had something left to do.
I needed to reach out to you, to tell you I'm alright
That this place is truly wonderful, then a bright Glow pierced the night.
'Twas the Glow of many Candles shining bright and strong and bold
And I knew then that it held your love in its brilliant shades of gold.
For although we may not be together in the way we used to be,
We are still connected by a cord no eye can see.
So whenever you need to find me, we're never far apart
If you look beyond the rainbow and listen to your heart...
