Four Years @ Rainbow Bridge

Hi Mom,

This year, I will write the letter instead of you, {bark, bark,}

I know that it has been four years since I came to this wonderful place... four years since you last 'saw' me.. Four years that to you seem oh, so long, but.. I also know.that you see me in sooo many new ways. .and our bond is sooo very much stronger. Each time you 'get' my message, you can know that my tail is wagging, and my heart is so proud of you! I am soo happy and so proud that you chose to continue to give our love a chance to grow. We would have missed out on sooooo much if you had stayed all angry and hurt.

I know that you are feeling like my passing seems a lifetime ago this year, and on the other paw.. but a moment. Here, time doesn't exist in the 'sense' it does for you.

I think you may have figured out.. that now.. I remain as you knew me @ six years old.. you are spared the pain of watching me grow old and feeble in the 'human plane'. I love it here, and am taking good care of mommy Megan, and the tiny angels. This place is so full of light and love, and I am so happy that you are beginning to understand and find peace, you see, that is why I used the angels with doves to send messages to you.

Wow!!!.. Mom, I am so glad you got my message today!... that ornament with the dove and the verse is exactly as I intended it to be! Hold it close as you walk thru the memories of my last hours on the earthly plane, tonight, remembering. .that together our love has wings. I know that there is a certain melancholy as you remember. Please know that this is how it is meant to be. Remember too, that had I not taken this journey, you might never have gained the spiritual awakening you have now.

Each time you take another step down your spiritual path, I get all excited and .and bark with glee.. I know that Mommy Megan is happy too. My tail wags nearly in half, as I proudly tell the other Bridge Angels how close we are and how much you are growing. The only thing missing here. is, .... you are not with me..but you know what??.. .I will be waiting right here for you to come... and.. that day.. my wings will lift you up.. and we will kiss and snuggle. .never to be apart again....until that day,... .just know that I am but a breath an a prayer away..

Your Heartdog and Soulmate

Echo: Angel of Love

The memories are of yesterday, before you got your wings
Of furry hugs, and kisses too, of soft caresses, and things.
Ah, the tears, they still are always near the edge, awaiting just the time,
When precious memories of days gone by, overwhelm this heart of mine.

Now, our lives have changed, making new, more precious links of love
Than ever could have been, without your journey to your home above
Would those memories were changed, to love you more, to hold you tighter.
Still with your soft, furry wings, each new memory shines much brighter.

But wait, what might this be? A soft gentle brush of sheltie paw,
A wistful tongue upon my tears, a tiny whine, I am in awe!
My beloved angel, from her home in another place and time
Has unmistakably shown her boundless love is mine.

Her sweetness lingers in the room, a silhouette so gentle yet so clear
My heart skips a beat, lest breathing should startle my Angel dear.
Our souls have touched, once more a link of love from here to there,
Will aid my journey to my Angel's side, forever in the air.

My Reply to Echo

My dearest sweet sweet baby,

Once again, I feel as I did the first time I wrote your tribute, our love is so deep I hardly know where that love comes from. I only know, that tho it caused me untold loss when you left his earth, I wouldn't for anything give up the wonderful love we share. I am soo lucky to know how to still share this love even tho you are beyond the 'veil'.

It is now past the hour of your departure to Rainbow Bridge. your son, Starphire so endearingly and beautifully kissed my tears away, as you so directed him I am certain. I remain awestruck by your ability to reaffirm our love from across the gap. I am so very grateful that you left Starphire. He is such an incredible joy. I know that you left him partly so that I would learn to laugh more.. learn to laugh @ him. .and learn to laugh @ myself. I do wish. you would help him understand that he doesn't need to tear up my pillows to get my attention. {smile}

Now sweet baby girl, as we begin a new year, please know. that my love for you is without measure, and I will be watching for each new sign you give me that our love is real. Tis an awesome thing this bond we share. Please know that I love your babies, soo much more now that I understand, and hopefully within the year we will share a new grand-furbaby, another link of our sacred love.

From the depth of my heart.. to yours,

All my love

Your Human Mom
