Timmy's Thoughts

My Birthday

Meowmy just realized that my birthday is coming up (on April 28th) and that it's my 20th birthday!!! Good grief....! I went to Rainbow Bridge when I was 15 and it seems like time just flies by, and it's amazing to think that I'm going to be 20!!

Meowmy still can remember me as a young kitten and all the little details of me arriving home (and the horrible drive home where I kept panting in the car!), and meeting my brofur Rusty (who growled and hit me on the head, but loved me soooo much)!. She remembers all those details just like it was yesterday!

We had 15 wonderful years together!

Purrs,

Timmy

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 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....
