 :thanks: Angie, I hope she's happy too.  I didn't write it by the way, I found it on the internet - author unknown.

Helen managed to read it all today and smiled when I thought of Bob, Hope you are feeling better today  :hug:

Your poems never fail to make me cry and I still have the one you sent me when Bob went to the Bridge, thanks  :hug:

Tiggy hope your happy baby xx

Sorry you are feeling sad Helen - the pain never really goes does it but remember you aren't alone, many of us here understand.

I cannot deny that a cat lover and his cat have a master/slave relationship. The cat is the master.

I just read it again and am in floods of tears, I'm OK the majority of the time but I still miss her like crazy.  It's coming up for her one year anniversary soon  :(

Two years today since I lost my beautiful Matilda, and although reading this has made me cry, it's always comforting to come onto these boards and realise how many others understand the pain and how it never really goes away.

Letter from Rainbow Bridge

Letter from Rainbow Bridge

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 Rainbow 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.”

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 o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many 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.

And now I am contented.... that my life was worthwhile.
Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile.
So 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 and you've got 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.....you're coming here to me.
