A letter from your Pet in Heaven!
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say. But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay. I'm writing this from the Bridge. Here I dwell with God above. Here there's no more tears of sadness. Here is just eternal love. Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight. Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night. That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through, God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you. It's good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone. As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do. And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you. And when you lie in bed at night the day's chores put to flight, God and I are closest to you ... in the middle of the night. When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years, because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears. But do not be afraid to cry: it does relieve the pain. Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned. If I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand. But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over, I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before. There are rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb, but together we can do it by taking one day at a time. It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too, that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain, then you can say to God at night ... "My day was not in vain." And now I am contented ... that my life was worthwhile. Knowing as I passed along I made somebody smile. God says: "If you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low, just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go. When you're walking down the street with me on your mind, I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind."
"And when it's time for you to go ... from that body to be free, remember you're not going alone ... you're coming here to me."

That is so lovely and you're right it made me cry!

It really is lovely, I posted a very similar 'Letter from Rainbow Bridge' recently - just one line different. There was no author on the website I saw it on so couldn't credit it to anyone, whoever wrote it is responsible for a tissue shortage in my house though!

Must have forgot the words to the one you posted helen.

:Sad Bye: pass the tissues please

Thats lovely :)
I believe if you have lived your life and been able to make someone be happy and smile it has all been worthwhile. They are never gone, just a moments thought away.

I can't read it :( , will give it another go when I get home.
I know I am going to be with them, I miss my babes dreadfully. there are a few waifs that had no one who loved them on the bridge and I'll take them as my own.
There'll be a fight over them, guess we'll all have to share those babes :Luv:
