...The Rainbow Bridge

It is with great sadness that I said my farewells to my beloved Cinnamon.  Such a short life, but Cinnamon, you taught me so much.  Thank you so much for helping me train the others.  May you Rest in Peace my dear, and see you at the Bridge....

THE RAINBOW BRIDGE

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When a pet 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 into the distance.  His bright eyes are intent, his eager body
begins to quiver.  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 renunion, 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 the Rainbow Bridge together......
