I can't tell you how much it meant to me to read these comforting words, and to know that there are those who believe we will be reunited with our beloved pets across "The Rainbow Bridge". After Missy's tragic death, I received a number of lovely cards of sympathy, but one stood out in particular, and now I know why. There was a rainbow path (bridge) among the clouds and stars and moon, and along its course were pets with wings. It said
" On the other side of the bridge to forever,
Our animal friends wait for us.
Good-bye hurts so much,
But someday you will think
Of your animal friend
With smiles instead of tears.
And it will feel as if this little soul
Left a rainbow in your heart."

She has indeed! And thank you for sharing this beautiful poem with all of us who are grieving the loss of our little companions.
I know I have come to the right place for comfort.
