Bad News From Kentucky

Shannon I put this out there every now and then when I feel the time is right. It is about pet loss BUT I am a firm believer that it pertains to people also. I hope to see my sister and my special pets when I cross over......I just replace PET with LOVED ONE, I cry everytime I read this but I have to every now and then.



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....

Shannon, you are VERY strong.  Remember, you can do ALL things through Christ who gives you strength.  He will, you know.  You might even find it a comfort to be back in the bed your husband made for you.

 

My husband made the most beautiful stained glass lamp shades.  They actually look like the ones that Louis Comfort Tiffany did.  It was hard but they are all over my new home now.  I look at them and see the pride and workmanship involved and the love of the art.  You might feel that way, too, with your bed. 

 

My husband always had the TV on in the bedroom to get to sleep.  And because of that, I acquired that habit too.  If you have a TV in your bedroom, try turning it on and watch a favorite program or a funny program and that might help you too.  If all else fails, turn on the Weather Channel.  That will bore you to sleep! 

 

I will be praying for you and I think you will be just fine.  Remember, you can email me.  I'll be home all weekend if you want to talk.
