Hi, Mum,
now that I’ve been across the Rainbow Bridge for a
couple weeks, they said I should write a letter home. Sorry, Mum, 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, Mum!
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, Mum! 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, Mum! Time for me to go
play.
