Much to emotional right now to say more but I wanted to let you all know we lost Callie-Jo today.
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 of 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 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. 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....

Those fur babies have such a way of working their way deep within our hearts and losing them can be so very hard.
May you find great comfort in the love of God through this difficult time.
My thoughts and prayers will certainly be with you.
Your precious Callie-Jo had a loving home.
Bless you~

I read your previous post before this one, Ida, but I also have heard of the Rainbow Bridge. One day we will be reunited with out beloved pets as well as family and friends.
ReplyDeleteWhew! That always just tears (and tears) me up. I left my condolences in your next post.
ReplyDeleteI've been around along time, survived a tour of duty in Vietnam as a Marine, raised five kids, and survived several bouts with Mean Mr. C. I'm as tough and gritty as they come. Yet, the thought of somebody losing their long time pet (especially a cat), just rips me up. Add the "Rainbow Bridge" to the equation, and I can sob like an 8 year kid. There isn't much I wouldn't give to spend just a single day with the ones we've lost. I'm so sorry you lost your sweet Callie-Jo...
