A MOMENT OF SILENCE

Post by connie »

SEPT: 11TH, LET'S ALL TAKE A MOMENT TO REMEMBER!
I KNOW IT DOESN'T PRETAIN TO ANIMALS, BUT THIS WAS SUCH A SAD DAY . I PRAY WE ARE ALL STRONGER BECAUSE OF IT.
A HUG TO YOU ALL.

Posted at a local blog today. My heart breaks for all losses. We prayed at work today, we held hands and we prayed.

***************
My own son was met at the RainbowBridge...
By his beloved pets who passed before him, and the only reason I have survived... My boy and my critters (sorry critters) will be waiting for me as well. I am so looking forward to meeting my family again, at the Bridge(www.rainbowbridge.com).

The 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 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....

Grieve not, nor think of me with tears,
but laugh and love me.
I loved you so, T'was heaven here with you.

A proper day to grieve. Our pain is universal and every soul-searing catches up with us this day.
Best to my fellow countrymen, Democrat and Republican, every one of you. You are my brothers and my sisters, and I love you all.
May God bless us all, most especially you.
May we always honor our lost 'family' with our tears and remembrance.
