Hi Mom,
Now that I’ve been across The Rainbow Bridge for a couple weeks, they said I should write a letter home.
Sorry, Mom but I’m so busy ‘across the bridge’ that I haven’t thought of home much. They said it’s okay and that you would understand. I hope you do. (I think you will.)
Remember that night when I wasn’t feeling very well and we were all crying?
I don’t remember much, but I do remember seeing and hearing all of you and feeling your touches and hugs…I remember hearing “we love you” and that one last command of “Go through”.
I didn’t know what you meant, so I turned around and walked through the fog that was in front of me.
I saw the biggest bridge I’ve ever seen! And so many friends on the other side of it!
They were all playing with toys and balls!
You were right to tell me to go there!
My feet kept moving forward, but my heart kept pulling me back.
Your touches became lighter and lighter and I wanted to come back and nudge your hands for more love, but I was overcome by this feeling of curiosity for the happy place over the bridge!
My feet started moving on their own, like a gentle breeze was moving them forward for me!
I can’t explain it, but I had no doubt that it was the right thing to do!
So, I walked across that big, huge bridge by myself!
I looked for you, because you’re always by my side, walking with me, but this was different.
I didn’t have a collar around my neck or a leash connecting me to you ~ I was ‘free’!
Even though you weren’t there with me, I never felt alone!
I actually felt like I had a huge cape of love wrapped around my body and the more I walked, the easier it was to breathe!
So, I kept walking!
And I would feel more warmth in the big hug, so I kept on walking!
I eventually made it over the big bridge – I did it by myself, mom. When I got here, all of my new friends greeted me and helped me walk off the bridge ~ it was so cool!
They gave me a pair of wings and said that I was now a Guardian Angel!
What I’ve learned over these past few weeks has been amazing and nothing like I’ve seen before!
We’re all the same up here ~ we all have wings and we all have Forever People to watch over ~ that’s YOU, mom !
You’re my Forever Person and I’m your Forever Dog!
We had such a great life together and I do miss you a LOT, but please know that I am so happy in my new home across The Bridge!
I’ll send you another Earth Angel so you won’t be alone.
Give them your whole heart, like you gave it to me.
I’ll check in every so often to make sure they treasure your love ~ I always did!
When you miss me, think of a rainbow and know I’m on the other side of it, waiting to walk with you again.
I’ll always be in your heart.
I love you, mom!
Time for me to go play.”

That is beautiful but so sad. 

I didn't lose one recently but in 2013 and it still hurts to think of her and look at her pictures. RIP Beautiful Spey x 

I recently lost my baby blaze boy in august this year :( it was a massive shock and not expected he was only 1 :(

I could only read half of that without getting upset, maybe in a few more months I'll be able to read the whole thing.

I'm struggling to process what happened still, I think because how young he was, he was like my little shadow, that and I just haven't had time to grive properly.

I lost my Shih Tzu; Hollie (Smoosh) at almost 8 years old in November of 2018, so almost 2 years ago. The pain never goes away for me- she was so special! Reading that was sweet, whenever I read this one it gets me every time. I'll never be able to love another dog like I loved my smoosh (but I'll try)!

You no longer greet me,

as I walk through the door.

You're not there to make me smile,

to make me laugh anymore.

Life seems so quiet without you,

you were far more than a pet.

You were a family member, a friend,

a loving soul I'll neveer forget.

It will take some time to heal-

for the silence to go away.

I still listen for you,

and miss you every day.

You were such a great companion,

constant, loyal, and true.

My heart will always wear,

the pawprints left by you.

I just lost my 1.5 year old mini Aussie girl names Tipsy. She was hit and killed September 17th while me and my husband were away celebrating our 1 year wedding anniversary. My in laws were puppy sitting her and my other dog. It wasn't much of a holiday.. we drove 10 hours back home and cried for 3 days straight. I miss her everyday, I cry every day and I'm so lost. :( My heart is completely broken... I had so much planned for our future. She was my little buddy.
