I HAVE BEEN TAGED BY KIKI (MY FUTURE SISTER IN LAW AND BESTEST FURFRIEND)

A VERY SPECIAL POEM FROM A FRIEND "OUR SHINING STAR"

A VERY GOOD FURFRIEND ITTY BITTY KITTY'S MOMMY WROTE THIS POEM AND MEW IS HONORED TO HAVE THIS IN MY DIARY!!! THANK YOU ITTY BITTY KITTY
Our Shining Star

A bright star shone in the night sky above, twinkling strongly. It seemed to get brighter as the night wore on. As the humans struggled with a way to tell their children that their beloved animal was gone to the Bridge, the tears sparkled as they fell from their eyes. They looked to the heavens and saw the bright star glittering and watched as it got stronger.
They exchanged glances, wondering, then both smiled at each other.

Walking hand in hand, they returned to the room where the children were. Slowly they all joined hands and bowed their heads, for the children already knew in their hearts what had happened and why their parents were so teary eyed. They all lifted their heads and looked at each other, then one by one went out to see that bright shining star. One child said, "Look! There are many other bright stars too! Are those other animals that have passed over the Bridge?" The father said, in all honesty, that he didn't know, but he knew the one very bright one was their pet.

Mustering the strength to ask, the youngest of the children asked how his father knew that. The father replied, "All pets
pass over the Bridge and become a star of love in our hearts and stay with us throughout our time here on earth. When it is our time to go, we will meet up again with our pets and be together for eternity. They watch over us from day to day in all that we do and in little ways, make sure that we know that they are there." The child sweetly looked at his mother and father and sister and said, "That makes me feel better knowing Twofer is up there and watching me. I'll watch him too whenever I see that bright star or hear the wind blow a certain way or the sun shine brightly on his patch of carpet." The mother was amazed at the child's heartfelt words, but also knew in her heart that he was right.

The moral of this little story is this. Yes, we do feel pain when we lose that beloved pet and yes, it does so hurt us. But the pet, no matter what kind, is happy and feels no pain and runs free as it did as a young one. They are always with us, no matter what we do or say, watching over us from above over that beautiful Rainbow Bridge, waiting for us to join them so we can all be together with them again. The pain will lessen with time, as it should be, but the memories will stay forever in your heart and bring a smile to your face when you least expect it. Cherish those memories as long as you live! I do!

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me

When tomorrow starts without me,
And I’m not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes,
All filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn’t cry,
The way you did today,
While thinking of the many things,
We didn’t get to say.

I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you’ll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand,
That an Angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand,
And said my place was ready,
In heaven far above,
And that I’d have to leave behind,
All those I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye,
For all life, I’d always thought,
I didn’t want to die.
I had so much to live for,
So much yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.

I thought of all the yesterdays,
The good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.

If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for awhile,
I’d say goodbye and kiss you
And maybe see you smile.

But then I fully realized,
That this could never be,
For emptiness and memories,
Would take the place of me.

And when I though of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.

But when I walked through heaven’s
Gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
From His great golden throne,
He said, "This is eternity,
And all I’ve promised you".
Today for life on earth is past,
But here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last,
And since each day’s the same day,
there’s no longing for the past.

But you have been so faithful,
So trusting and so true.
Though there were times you did some things,
You knew you shouldn’t do.
But you have been forgiven
And now at last you’re free.
So won’t you take my hand
And share my life with me?

So when tomorrow starts without me,
don’t think we’re far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I’m right here, in your heart.

IT WILL SOON BE A YEAR!!!!!!!!

hi purrrrrrrsssssss and woofers just letting you know that all is well at the bridge. There has been several new pets to come and join our little angel group and we all get along so well!! It is so beautiful here and every night I fly down to check on my family just to make sure that they are ok. But it will soon be a year since I had to leave my mommy and daddy and my sisters. On November the 6th,2007 I said my last farewells to my family and it made me very sad as it made them sad and mommy and daddy still cry and miss me very much. But as I found out when you make the last journey it is not the end but only the beginning!! Of as the song says "the circle of life" As pets we are never forgotten "if we were loved" we pets teach our friends and family to be kind to each other. to try to get along with each other "and sometimes this cam be hard". We teach our family what true loyalty is, what true love is and compassion. And we hope that in all this that a lesson is taught. Just to love and be loved. To give and have it given back to you a thousand times over. To always be there for your loved ones no matter what kind of day you might have had yourself!! So you see we leave a legacy of love a lesson if you will. A lesson in how to love and be loved the right way the only way. So it has been a year and as you can see my mommy is writing this for me from her heart and I guess it is true. I have been goin almost one year and mommy ,daddy and my sisfurs has kept in their hearts the lessons I taught them while I was on earth kisses from the bridge prisilla "prissy" sweet dreams
