Well, this has been a hard year not just for us but others as well. This year earlier we lost our sweet Princess and last week, Oscar left this earth. He is laying eternally beneath the azaleas in the front of the yard. He liked to sleep there.
I just found out that sister in law lost one of their own, Rocky and also father in law lost RC. These great family friends were lucky to live a long happy life and we will miss them.
It is still strange to walk into the bedroom and not see Oscar laying on the bed!
I leave this poem and picture of our Oscar in his fighting weight! Warning if you have lost a pet close to you, this poem might spot a tear. It does for me.
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....
