| RAINBOW BRIDGE 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 begins to quiver. 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 over Rainbow Bridge together. ~ Author unknown ~ |

| Danny's love for animals began at a very young age. He was only 2 years old when he fell in love with his first cat. And though he loved all varieties of animals, his cats were his very favorite! Danny always told me that his cats took the place of the children that he was afraid to have because of not wanting to pass on the genetic genes of Diabetes to any of his generations that would follow him. Instead, he loved his cats as much as any parent has ever loved their child. Shortly after Danny's death, his favorite cat died too. This occurred just before Danny's headstone was to be placed over his grave, so his widow had "Sugar" buried in her box underneath Danny's tombstone. They are together again, and I find comfort in the thought that they have crossed over "Rainbow Bridge" together. "Rest in peace, Danny and Sugar" |
