Oh. This is so sad. I'm so sorry to come here to read this. Very very sorry. So many of us know your great pain and sorrow. We have lost two old kitties in this past few years and it's so hard and hurts so much.

Life is never the same without them but what a blessing they were to have for so long. It's better to have loved and lost them than to never have had them to love at all. Right? Keep remembering this, okay?

And always remember what others told me, too, that you gave your little sweetie such a loving home and life. THE BEST! You were a blessing to each other.

I'm so sorry, Cindy. Big hugs for you.
Love, Laura xo #10869849

The Rainbows Bridge Poem

RainbowBridge.com
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....

I'm not sure how I missed this one, Cindy. Bonnie was a beautiful cat, and I'm sure you have fondest memories of her. You had many blessings over the 15 years! #10870929
