In Loving Memory

I know there does exist the place called 'Rainbow Bridge' that is spoken of by poet's pen. I've cried a million tears it seems since you left to fall asleep  in the arms of our Kimberly.  Somehow I must now find a way to let your memories become sweet and your physical absence to become less haunting.   Until I do, in my heart, you will only be in the next room, laying in the hallways, or will soon be pestering me as I work in the kitchen. I see you everywhere in my mind's eye. I expect you to drop by for one of our Mommy/Tinker chats and my heart breaks again when I realize that you are truly gone.  Yesterday, I received a condolence card from your Doctor and his staff. On its cover was the poem Rainbow Bridge. Tonight, I was finally able to read it all the way through. I was standing in the kitchen and as I finished reading, I placed their gift upon the vacant spot where you always pearched yourself to watch me. It gave me a peace as I placed it there.   The kitchen lighting fell upon the picture of the rainbow, making it appear to glow as it sat in your favorite place to be in the house when our day was done  and you patiently waited for  my lap to become yours.  I wandered around our home trying to keep the tears again from spilling   but I kept finding myself drawn to the computer where so often you laid beside me on the 'L' of my desk. I knew the time had come for me to try somehow to write my heart. I did a music search for 'Rainbow Bridge' and was really surprised to see the title come before me as a choice. I had never heard the beautiful words playing behind my own until a few moments ago. It seems tonight my darling Tinker we talk to each other, for the song began to speak to me as yourself and for the first time in a long time I could feel that you no longer suffer. You have arrived at Rainbow Bridge and you are eager to explore the beauty of your new home away from me for awhile.     All of outside is now yours my friend.  You will always be so special to my heart I will always love you. I released you from my arms so you would no longer have to leave me a little more and more each day. I release you from my tears so you can rest in peace. In Loving Memory Of Tinker My heart wrapped in a ball of black and white fur and beautiful eyes. For twelve years you shared my joys, fears, and sorrows. You will remain forever in my heart My beautiful Tinker Dink.      Mommy       November 30, 2008 Rainbow Bridge Artist ~ Emi Frujita

I am so sorry I have not been to visit, but this is what has kept me away.

This is such a wonderful piece you've written for your dear cat like that... I never thought about writing any memoriable for my pets before... Now that your writing got me thinking and I'm remembering the time from my first dog throughout toward on the last time I had my last dog along with other unusual pets I had before... Even Remy, the African Graybird, who always talked back at me lol I miss them all one way or another...

Anyway, it's sure is the most touching piece I've ever read in a while and now I'm thinking about to go out and get another one to drive me crazy all over again...

I hope you can find peace in quiet places
where memories become treasures
and the sadness subsides.
