Rainbow Bridge....

It's strange but I never thought a social network site like Facebook would bring a smile to my face when I am having a 'Jonesy Moment' but today exactly that happened.......... 


I popped onto Facebook this afternoon and a picture from this site https://www.facebook.com/CatsareAwesomeAnimalsDoYouAgree caught my eye. When you are cat mad.....and my sons call me 'The Mad Cat Woman', especially when I used to walk around with Jonesy on my shoulder like a baby.....any picture of a cat stops you in your tracks. I spent a short while "cooing" and "ahhhing" at the pictures, and then saw an album which brought tears to my eyes. I suppose this album made me realise that there are other people out there, in the world, that also feel the loss of their pet in the same way as I do. I am not being daft, and I am not alone. Phew....no need for me to duck the strange looks from non animal mad people then?? The picture album on the site was called ..........


RAINBOW BRIDGE...OUR KITTIES MEMORIAL ALBUM
 'This memorial album is to share our love of our furbabies who have passed over the Rainbow Bridge.


We can support each other and acknowledge our grief and our love for our kitties who have 
passed.'



I will confess to having a quiet grizzle after reading the words below but it also did me good. I had a smile on my face as I posted a picture of Jonesy to join the others and I finally feel comfortable with my grief! One person asked how long does it take to recover from the loss of a beloved pet..........I think it takes as long as you need and want. After all, those pets have shared some amazing times with us......... 



Rainbow Bridge

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 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 vigour, 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.
