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....

Poem for Christopher

 

My Dearest Christopher:

The tears were so many and the pain so intense this morning I forgot to send you your special poem that I wrote to God.  I hope you enjoy it.  I Love You and Miss You so.

Forever Angel In Heaven

There's A Forever Angel In Heaven
That Is A Part Of Me
It Is Not Where I Wanted Him
But Where God Wanted Him To Be
He Was Here For What Seemed Like A Moment
Like A Night Time Shooting Star
And Though He Is In Heaven
I Know That He Isn't Very Far
He Touched The Heart Of So Many
Like Only An Angel Can Do
I Would Have Held Him Every Minute
If The End I Only Knew
So I Send This Special Message
To The Heaven Up Above
God Please Take Care Of My Forever Angel
And Send Him All My Love


You Are My Forever Angel
Please Wait For Me
You Are MY Man And I Love You Punky Brewster
Love
Your Forever Mommy

Eight Weeks at Rainbow Bridge

As I sit here trying to type this message I can barely see through my tears.  It has been eight weeks since I lost my Little boy Christopher, my Angel and my best friend.  The pain is so intense there are days I just sit and scream.  I miss him so much it is just unbearable.  People tell me, it will get better; well it isn't.  I think about him constantly.  I cry myself to self to sleep and wake up realizing he is not next to me on the bed; the tears start again.  I have pictures of him all over my office and my home.  I never want to forget his sweet face and all the love he gave to me over the years.   I miss him so much.

I have always believed that the brightest star in the sky is my mom looking over me.  I now believe that Christopher is with her helping out.  I spend time outside every night talking to that star telling Christopher how much I miss him.  I sleep with his ashes and picture next to my bed and I talk to his pictures too.  I feel as if I am loosing my mind.  I know that my life will never be the same; I am just wondering if this pain will ever subside.

I am sick of people telling me they are sorry, that I need to seek help, that I need to try and move on before I destroy myself and my family.  Well it is just not that easy.  Believe me I have tried everything.  I have lost other pets over the years and it has never been as painful as loosing Christopher.  I feel so guilty as loosing family members has not been this traumatic.

My veterinarian said that the bond between Christopher and I was almost  spiritual.  Maybe that is the reason I am so depressed; I just do not have an answer.  I have a wonderful family and a lot of support; unfortunately it is not helping with my pain.  I have now chosen to grieve in silence and alone so that I do not have to answer any of their questions.  Thank God all of you are here to listen.  Although I do not write a lot, I am at this site several times a day and try to help others understand that they are normal and it is OK to feel pain.  When I read messages from those who have been in my shoes for a year or longer I think, how am I going to be able to continue that long?  I cannot sleep, I don't want to eat and my perpetual smile is gone.  I use to be such a happy person; now I cannot find happiness in anything.  How can this be normal? 

Christopher came to our home in Santa's pocket on December 24, 1994.  His registered name was Peking's Christmas.  Christopher was always different from out other animals.  He was so smart and very spoiled.   While I love all our furbabys he was my buddy.  Over the years he and I became inseparable.  He went everywhere with me when I could take him and all my plans were made around him.  I would never take him to a kennel when we left and only certain people were allowed to watch him when we were gone. 

 He was never left alone at the vets.  If he had to have a procedure I stayed there until he was released even if that meant spending the night.  Thank heavens I have such understanding veterinarians.  Without Bradshaw Veterinary Hospital I do not know what I would have done when Christopher got so sick.  They were there for me every minute and are still there as they know my pain is not healing.  They let me stay with him every second and saw him any time of day or night I needed them.

When Christopher developed hypertension and heart problems I never left him alone.  He slept on my desk during the day; my clients loved him and he loved them too.  He was quite the charmer.  When I had to leave him I hired a sitter for him.  My office and my home are so lonely without him I just hate to be in either place. 

Coming home at night is the worst.  Every day when he had to stay home and I would come home he was sitting by the door staring out the window waiting for me.  He was always so excited to see me and showered me with his sweet kisses.  I called him my Little Man, my Punky Brewster.  I told him how much I loved him every day.  Now when I start home at night the tears begin.  I hate going home knowing I will NEVER see him waiting for me again.  Never is such a horrible word.

His conditioned worsened over the last two years.  I knew the day would come when I would loose him but I obviously put it out of my mind.  I do not think I will ever forget that horrible day I had to say goodbye and put him to sleep.  I have asked God why this happened and why he took him away from me so soon. I have not gotten an answer.  I see other Shih Tzus living until they are 18 and it makes me so angry that he is gone.  I am sure that God had other things in mind for Christopher to do but I cannot think of anything as important as being here for me.  I know I should be thankful that I had him for 12 years.  While I am thankful for the time I had with him, I am so angry that he is gone.  I prayed for a miracle and none ever came.

I see him running down the driveway and me telling him I was going to step on his furball tail.  I hear him barking at me when it was time to go to work or go to the groomer.  I see him playing tug of war with my socks.  I know the wonderful memories should bring a smile to my face but they only bring tears and feelings of grief.   

When I had bad days Christopher was always there for me.  He was the light in a dark room and the sunshine on a cloudy day.  He could always tell when I was in a bad mood and he would so something to make me smile.  I ;loved him so much.  My heart is broken and I feel as if a part of my heart left with Christopher. 

In December of last year Christpher's condition worsened.  I remember sitting in the living room where he was never allowed to go, showing him the Christmas Decorations.  I wanted him to see them before he had to go as I knew he would never see them again.  He loved to sit and stare at the tree at night.  We spent a lot of time sitting in the yard he loved so much just staring and enjoying each other as I knew I would never share these moments with him again.   And then he was gone forever. 

The day I had to put him to sleep he was in a lot of pain.  I was awake with him all night.  I held him and told him how much I loved him. I knew from the look in his eyes that it was the end.  When he started to cry and bleed internally the choice was made for me.  I will never forget them inserting the the needle in his little leg and I will never forget watching him die.  Fortunately the veterinarian who has helped to treat him and who knew him since he was a puppy was the one who administered the medication.  She was crying too.  So many thoughts ran through my mind; is there something else I can do?  Should I wait and see if he gets better?  I realized my thoughts were no longer about Christopher, they were about me and that was not fair; he deserved better than that.  He did not deserve to suffer.  He was so weak he could not stand and he could not eat. He had lost almost all his beautiful hair because his circulation was so bad.  His heart had enlarged so much that the Dr. had no idea how he was still alive; she said he was alive becasue he did not want to leave me.   I had been feeding him baby food and carrying him everywhere.  I knew I had to let him go to Rainbow Bridge where he would be safe, healthy and out of pain.  After he was gone and I was in my car I started to scream; I screamed until I thought I was going to pass out.  How could God take my baby from me; I still have no answers.  Unfortunately there are still days that I scream from the pain I am feeling.     

Today is a very bad day as you have probably guessed.  I know I have been rattling on probably not making any sense but I had to tell someone and I know all of you will listen.  My prayers are with all of you who are in pain. I know how you feel and I wish you the very best.  Thank you all for taking the time to listen.  Sorry for the rambling. 

And to you my little man, I miss you more than life itself.  Life is so dark without you.  Take care of Grandma and Sammy.  You will always be in my heart and my thoughts.  I love you Christopher and I miss you more each day.  Stay safe until I see you at Rainbow Bridge.  I love you; you are my man, my Punky Brewster and I love you so much.
Love Mommy

Three Months At Rainbow Bridge


My Dearest little Man:

It has been three long months since I have held you in my arms, looked into your sweet eyes and felt your sweet kisses.  There simply are no words to describe how much I miss you.  I feel as if my heart left with you.  I know you would never want me to be sad and I am trying to get better for you, it is just taking a long time.  You were such an important part of my life that my world is empty without you.  I would give anything to hold you one more time and tell you how much I love you. 

This morning I suddenly awoke thinking of you.  It was the same time I awoke your daddy on March 20th to tell him that you could not make it any longer and that we needed to go to the Vet.  I am so glad I got to spend the entire night before you left holding you and telling you how much I loved you.  I will never forget watching Dr. Parvin sending you to the Bridge.  I did not mean to scream but it felt as if my whole life was ending.  Dr. Parvin was devastated too as she has loved you your whole life. The only comforting part was that you went to sleep so peacefully and I could see the pain leave your body.

I want to thank you Dear Christopher for hanging in there those extra months.  I know your quality of life was not the best but you continued to fight for me.  You always met me with your wagging little tail and a sweet kiss.  Not once did you give me any indication that you were uncomfortable and I know you must have been.  When Dr. Zatkin called me in to look at your xrays a few days before you left for the Bridge and showed me how large the right side of your heart had gotten I knew that it had to be uncomfortable for you.  Dr. Zatkin said that she had no idea how your heart was still beating but believed you were staying alive for me.  Thank you for giving me that extra time to tell you and show you how much you meant to me. 

Putting you to sleep was the most difficult thing I have ever done in my life.  I tried to think of ways they could save you but I knew you could not go on any longer.  I knew by the sad look in your eyes and the little cries that you were making.  When you started to cry I knew what I had to do as now it was not about you any longer but about me.  I had to do what was best for you even though it was destroying me as I could not stand to see you in pain.  I know you understand.  I just want you to know that I would have fought for you forever if it would have been possible.

Thank you for being so patient and eating all that baby food and Nutra Cal so that you could stay strong.  I know you hated it and I know you did it just for me.  Thank you for eating all those pills so that you could stay alive as long as you did.  After you left for the Bridge I was so angry I threw away all those horrible medications.  I could not believe how many things you were taking.  I think I was so focused on keeping you alive that I had no idea what was really happening to you.  You are such a special little man, you are my Punky Brewster and I love you.   

As you know I prayed to God every day for a Miracle to let you live a little longer. I begged Grandma every night to please tell God not to take you away.  I was so angry when I had to let you go because he did not grant my prayers.  You daddy told me that it was a Miracle you made it as long as you did.  What I realize now is that God actually did grant me a Miracle as he allowed you to get better after that awful day in December when you were so sick and he gave me almost three extra months with you.

I have a picture of you on my Computer screen that Daddy sent to me.  You look so real in the picture that I touch the screen many times a day.  I also have your sweet pictures all over my office; I will never forget your sweet face or how much you loved me.   I know how much you loved to come with me to work.  Debbie and Chris miss you too.  Chris got me this special little shirt after you left for the Bridge.  It says "When God Made Dogs He Just Sat Down and Smiled."  It is a very special shirt and it makes me think of you and how special you are.  You made so many people laugh and everyone loves and misses you so much. My office is not the same without you.

Thank you for always being there for me.  I miss you the most at night when I come home and when I go to bed.  I miss your barking and dancing when I use to come in the door.  You were so excited to see me.  No matter how bad my day had been you always put a smile on my face.  I miss playing peek a boo with you before bed at night.  You were so funny and loved the game.   Daddy hated it because we always woke him up!!!  But I know that Daddy misses the game too!! 

I am so glad that we got to spend so much time sitting in the living room looking at the Christmas lights and the Decorations before you had to leave as you loved Christmas.  I knew that was going to be the last Christmas you would be there to help me decorate.  Thank you for making so many Christmases special for me.  I still have so many pictures of you laying in the Christmas boxes and in the Christmas paper.  Christmas will never be the same without you.

I pulled out all of the old pictures of you I could find starting with the day you came into our lives and were delivered to Heather in Santa's pocket.  Heather was so excited and you were adorable.  You looked like a little rat.  Looking at those pictures it is amazing how beautiful you grew up to be!

I have so many pictures of you doing so many silly things.  I have pictures of you stealing my socks and stealing daddy's underwear from the clothes basket.  I have you hiding in the cabinets and growling at daddy when he took you outside instead of me.  I have you sitting up begging for my Cheerios in the morning and doing that silly little dance Heather taught you to do.  You brought more joy to my life than you will ever know.  You were a one in a million little guy and no one will ever replace you.  You will be in my heart and thoughts until I am with you at the Bridge forever.

Thank you for bringing Rollo into our lives.  When I met daddy for lunch that day and saw him sitting in the chair looking at me, I knew from looking in his eyes that you sent him to me.  He will never take your place but he sure is trying to help.  He does so many silly things that you use to do it is scary sometimes.  It is almost like a part of you is living in his little body; Daddy thinks so too.

I put together a special chair for you in the bedroom where you use to love to sit.  Aunt Debbie made me a T-Shirt with a huge sweet picture of you.  Below the T-shirt is your leash and favorite little blanket still full of your little white hairs.  When I leave for work I take your ashes from my bedside table and place them under the shirt.  This morning I lit a candle next to your picture and started to cry.  Rollo suddenly jumped up on the chair and stole your leash and started running through the house.  He was acting like a maniac!  At first I was angry, but I realized he was trying to make me laugh.  He stole that leash about 4 times before I got him to quit.  He really is trying hard and I know that you are there prompting him.  When I sit on the sofa and cry he comes up to me and kisses my face like you use to do.  He sleeps by my side every night just as you did for all those years.  Thank you for trying to help me get better.  You are my man and I love you. 

Sophie misses you too.  I have been so full of grief I forgot about how she must feel.  She was with you for ten years and that is a long time.  Every night Sophie goes to your favorite spot on the bed, smells it and lays there for a minute before she goes to her spot.  Her face is very sad and she does not play any more.  She does not want to be friends with Rollo.  Hopefully she will see someday that it was you who sent him to help us all.

Daddy and Heather miss you too.  Everyone is still in tears as the house is so lonely without you.  You were such a special guy and brought so much joy to us all.  Everyone hates coming home now that you are gone.  We will miss you forever and cherish every special moment we had with you. 

Thank you for the beautiful bright shining Star in the sky that is next to Grandmas.  I know that Star is you telling me you are OK.  I have watched and talked to Grandmas Star for 11 years and that little bright glowing colored star was never there until after you left for the Bridge.  It is a beautiful little Star and I am so glad that you letting me know that you are OK.  I know that you are very little and fragile and I worry so that you will get hurt. Thank you for the warm hugs each night before I go to bed.  When I hug the T-shirt with your picture on it I can feel the warmth from your body.  Even though it makes me cry it helps me so much feeling your love.

Well little man I have taken up enough space.  There is so much more I want to say but I will keep those thoughts for another Bridge day.  Just know that I miss you more than life itself.  My life will never be the same without you.  You are the love of my life, the sunshine on a rainy day and the light in a dark room.  You brought so much love into my life that I will be forever grateful to you for all that you have taught me.  I am going to keep donating money to the Vet for all the sick animals so I can keep your spirit alive until it is my time to come and be with you; what a wonderful day that will be.  I know that 3 months is so long not being able to hold you in my arms, but I also know that it is 3 months closer to me being with you and holding you forever.  That thought is the only thing that keeps me going.  Stay safe little one and take care of Sammy, Moses and Golda. 

You are my man and I love you my little Punky Brewster.  Have a wonderful 3 month Bridge Anniversary.  I love you
Mommy

Four Months at Rainbow Bridge

My Sweet Angel Christopher:

Here I sit with tears in my eyes and tremendous pain in my heart typing this letter to you.  I ask myself why I have to do this, why can't I be holding you telling you in person and why did God take you from me; I have no answers.  I just feel the pain of missing you in my life.

I simply cannot believe that you have been at the Bridge for 4 months.  It is 6:30 am, the same time you left me to go to the Bridge.  I will never forget watching you close your eyes as your soul left for Heaven.  I felt my heart and an enormous part of my life leave with you.  I miss you so much little Man.

As I sit here and look at your picture through the flames of your Rainbow Candle so many thoughts come to mind.  I know how lucky I was to share such unconditional love with you.  I realize how precious every day is and how important it is to live every day as if it is your last and to enjoy every minute with those you love.  I hope you know how much you mean to me and how much I love you.  You are my forever dog.  There will never be anyone to take your place.  You will be in the missing part of my heart forever.

I miss you every day when I wake up in the morning.  I remember waking up every morning with you staring into my face.   As I opened my eyes your tail would start to wag and the wet kisses would come.  You made me laugh every morning and I miss that so much.

I remember how excited you use to get when you knew that I was going to take you to work with me.  You would bark like a maniac and dance on your hind feet.  Oh how you loved to go for rides in the car!!  I loved having you with me as you made everything in my life so much better. 

I miss you sitting on my desk watching me work.  I miss watching you run through the office to meet my clients.  You always won their hearts.  Chris and Debbie miss seeing you too.  You brought so much Joy and Happiness to the Office.  That Joy and Happiness is now gone. 

I miss you waiting for me when I get home at night.  Tears come to my eyes every night as I head home because I know that you won't be waiting.  I hate coming home at night.  I miss your wagging tail.  I miss watching you run around in circles so excited to see me.  And oh how I miss your hugs and sweet kisses.  I would give the world to hug you one more time and feel those sweet kisses on my face.  I miss sitting with you on the sofa sharing my day with you.  You would sit and listen to me talk for hours.  If I had a bad day you somehow knew as you would kiss my face over and over.  I have no one to share my good and bad times with since you left.  I miss that so much. 

I miss you at night when we use to snuggle in bed and play peek a boo.  WE use to laugh because it use to make daddy crazy when we played as he could not go to sleep because of your barking.  We didn't care; we played anyway :)

I know that you do not want me to hurt like this and cry all the time.  I am really trying to get better but it is so hard without you. You are in my heart and mind every waking hour of the day.  It is just so lonely and sad without you.  I know that you do not want me to be mad at God for taking you as you are now at home and it was your time to go.  I am trying to understand that but it is so hard.  I feel bad for being angry at God as I know he is sweet and kind.  I just do not know why he had to take you so soon because I need you here too. 

I hope you can hear the many times a day I say "You are my man and I love you."  I told you that so many times a day and I will never stop saying it to you.  I hope you can hear all my loving words each night that I sit outside and speak to your beautiful little star.  I believe that you can because as I talk to you I see the bright colors of your Star sparkle in the night.  I believe that you are letting me know that you are OK and that you love and miss me too.  I am so grateful for that little Star. 

I have met so many wonderful people on this site who are in pain just like me because their babies have left for the Bridge like you.  I have met Chancey and Digby's mom,Sadies' Mom, Moses Mom, Jazz's Mom, Golda's Mom, Candy's Mom and so many more fur babies parents who have been here for me when I am in pain.  I hope you are enjoying playing with all the babies.  I know that you are having a wonderful time with sweet little Sadie.  She is so adorable and I know how you loved to charm the little girls:) 

Daddy and Heather miss you too.  We talk about all the funny things you use to do.  We share our tears and loneliness.  I hope you like all the pretty solar lights that daddy bought for you so you and grandma could see the house at night. The solar lanterns look like sparkling candles in the night.  And how cute are those silly solar frogs and turtles?  Daddy thought that they would make you happy.

Sophie misses you too.  You were with Sophie for ten years.  She is so sad without you.  I tell her I love her all the time but you can see in her eyes that she is very sad.  She lays on your favorite spot on the rug and when we go to bed at night, she smells your favorite spot next to me then lays down with a sigh.  You are so special Punky Brewster and we miss you soo.  Life is just not the same without you and never will be again.

Mommy Debbie misses you too.  She misses seeing you every Saturday for your bath.  I put some pictures together for her of you and Sophie.  She really loved them; it made us all cry. 

Every night before I go to sleep I hug your picture on the T-shirt that mommy Debbie gave to me.  As I hug you I can feel your warmth.  I know it is you letting me know that you love me and you are OK. 

Thank you for sending us Rollo.  Although he will never be you he is a sweet little guy and he tries so hard to fill in the emptiness.  He sleeps next to me like you use to and even crawls on my head at night like you use to do.  He sleeps upside down in your favorite position.  He steals socks just like you did and the toilet paper rolls out of the garbage:)  A few days ago as I was sitting down I looked up and Rollo was staring at me.  As I looked into his eyes I saw your eyes and felt your presence.  It was such a comforting feeling.  As I sit here typing he is staring up at me with your sweet eyes.  I hope those looks are really from you sending your love and letting me know that you are always with me. 

I hope you got the postcard I sent to you from the Prayer Mom site and I hope you saw the Candle I sent to you.  I feel so lucky to be able to tell you I love you in so many ways because so many people care enough to develop all these wonderful sites.  You are my man and I love you:)

I ordered some books that Ed who developed this wonderful place to send you messages recommended.  One of the books was, For Every Dog An Angel.  It talks about how some dogs are forever dogs.  And that is what you are, my forever dog; and I am your forever person.  The book says that a dog can never be separated from their forever person.  The book says that neither time nor space can ever come between us.  It says that when you came to the end of your earthly life and went ahead without me that your Guardian Angel became the loving bridge between us for as long as I am on earth.  That way we know that your Guardian Angel is always with you and always with me.  It says that one day that Bridge will appear and that I will cross that Bridge too and find you there. It says we will never be separated again.  That is how I survive each day sweetheart, knowing that someday I will be with you Again FOREVER.   

I know each day I wake up that I am one day closer to being with you.  I think about how that day will be and it feels so good.  I can see you running at me with your wagging tail and sweet face.  I can feel you jump into my arms and shower me with kisses.  I will keep those thoughts in my mind until it is my day to cross the Bridge and be with you again FOREVER.  Please wait for me and stay safe until I can get there.  Take care of Grandma, Grandpa,  Sammy, and all the other fur babies.

Enjoy your Bridge Day Sweetheart and don't make little Sadie too crazy.  You are my Man and I Love You.  You are my Forever Dog and I am Your Forever Person; no one can take that away from us as we will always be one. 

I Love You Punky Brewster
Love
Mommy

My Forever Angel
I Love You and Will Miss You FOREVER

Five Months At Rainbow Bridge

 

My Dearest Christopher:

I cannot believe that you have been gone from my arms for 154 days.  That means it has been 3,696 hours since I was able to hold you and tell you how much I love you.  I miss your sweet little kisses and the dance you did for me every day.  I still cannot believe that you are gone.  You are on my mind all day every day.  I miss you so much Brewster that words cannot describe the pain I am feeling.  I know that you would not want me to be this sad, but I have not found a way to get over this heartache.  I know that you are not in pain any more and that you can walk again, but loosing you just hurts so much.  I am trying so hard for you, but I just do not know how to go on without you.  You are my Hero, My Love and My Best Friend.  My Life is just not the same without you. 

I was able to put together a Memorial for you at :

http://www.immortalpets.com/Christopher_McKee/About.aspx?MemorialID=280  


I have received so many sweet emails and everyone loves your site.  Dr. Seimens wrote me a nice letter about your site too; she is so sad that you are gone.   It makes me feel so good to look at your site and listen to the beautiful music.  I hope you like all the candles that we have been able to light for you on the site.  We miss you so much Brewster.  It was so hard to write about you and to put your beautiful pictures on the site.  It is just so hard dealing with the fact that you are never coming back.  Everyone misses you sweetheart.  You are a one in a million little guy. 

This weekend I was able to meet with Betty Carmack.  She wrote the book about grieving the loss of a pet.  Heather knows her so she agreed to meet with me.  She has done a lot of counseling and still has a pet loss group.  I was able to tell her all about you for an hour and a half.  It was wonderful to share all of our memories with her but it was very emotional and brought a lot of tears to my eyes.  It made me realize how close we are and how many wonderful things we have done and shared together.  I miss you so much my Angel.

Sadie's mom KarenC recommended a book on pets and the afterlife.  I have found a lot of wonderful comforting thoughts in the book.  There are many days that when I speak to your Star I can feel you answering me.  I thought maybe it was all in my head but Kim Sheridan who wrote the book can feel answers from her pets too.  Maybe it is a sign from you letting me know that you are always with me.  I really hope that is true. 

I also had a sweet little white butterfly land on my shoulder.  When it landed I thought of you and I believe I felt your presence.  Last night when I was reading the book by Kim Sheridan I read that Kim had that same experience and believed it was her pet June.  While all these things have left me wondering what is real and what is imagined, being able to see it in writing where someone else has experienced the same things I have, puts hope in my life that you are telling me that you are OK and that you will Always Be With Me. 

Coming home at night is still so difficult, especially when everyone is in bed and I am alone.  Ms. Carmack suggested that I start writing a journal each night so I have been doing that.  She also suggested that when I feel you answering me as I am talking to your Star that I add those comments too.  I have done that the last two nights.  While it has brought tears to my eyes I have found it helpful in dealing with the loneliness and the quiet house. It is also comforting to me as I talk to you just like I use to every night when I came home.  If I close my eyes I can see you sitting on the sofa next to me listening as if you understand every word I am saying.   I hate opening my eyes again because reality hits me that you are not there.  You are such a special little man.  I am so grateful that I had you in my life for so many years.

I learned so much form you my Angel.  I learned that Life is too short; that money cannot buy anything that is really important; and that true love and Friendship are with you for eternity.  I have learned how important it is to treasure the things that are important to you every day and to make sure you tell those that are important to you how much you love them.  I miss you so.

Poor Sophie misses you too.  She always has such a sad look on her face.  Every night when we go to bed, she goes to your favorite spot and lays down for a little while before she lays in her favorite spot.  I feel so sorry for her.  I tell her I love her and tell her that you miss her too. 

Rollo is growing every day.  When I am sad he always comes over to me as if he knows.  He sits on my chest and gives me kisses just like you use to do.  Sometimes when I look into his eyes I see you.  Even Doctor Hodson said he reminds her of you.  Daddy and I believe that you had something to do with us finding Rollo.  He does so many things that you use to do.  No one will ever be you but the things Rollo does make us remember how sweet and funny you are.  We all miss you so much.

Well my Sweet Angel I hope you have a wonderful Bridge Day.  I wish I could be there to celebrate it with you but that is not to be just yet.  Take good care of Sammy and tell Sammy, grandma and grandpa that I love them.  Please make sure to take good care of Chancey and Digby too.  Like me their mommy is so heartbroken.  It is just so terrible that all of you had to leave.

I know each day that passes is important because that means that I am one day closer to being with you Forever.  I love you my sweet Angel.  Please continue to send me signs that you are OK.  Please Stay Safe And Wait For Me.  I know that when my Journey is up we will Be Together Again FOREVER. 

The Sweetest Angel IN Heaven
Happy Bridge Day Brewster!!!!

JUST A DOG
 
From time to time, people  tell me, "lighten up, it's just a dog,"
> or, "that's a lot of money for just a  dog."
>
> They don't understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the 
> costs involved for "just a dog."
>
> Some of my proudest moments have  come about with "just a dog."
>
> Many hours have passed and my only company  was "just a dog,"
> but I did not once feel slighted.
>
> Some of my saddest  moments have been brought about by "just a dog,"
> and in those days of  darkness, the gentle touch of "just a dog" gave me
> comfort and reason to  overcome the day.
>
> If you, too, think it's "just a dog," then you will  probably understand
> phrases like "just a friend," "just a sunrise," or "just  a promise."
>
> "Just a dog" brings into my life the very essence of  friendship, trust,
> and pure unbridled joy.
>
> "Just a dog" brings out the  compassion and patience that make me a
> better person.
>
> Because of  "just a dog", I will rise early, take long walks and look
> longingly to the  future.
>
> So for me and folks like me, it's not "just a dog" but an  embodiment of
> all the hopes and dreams of the future,
> the fond memories  of the past, and the pure joy of the moment.
>
> "Just a dog" brings out  what's good in me and diverts my thoughts away
> from myself and the worries of  the day.
>
> I hope that someday they can understand that it's not "just a  dog",
> but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being
> "just a  man or woman."
>
> So the next time you hear the phrase "just a dog"
> just  smile...
> because they "just don't understand."

of one's soul remains unawakened."

The words made me think of you as you awakened my soul to such a beautiful experience of Love, Loyalty and eternal and everlasting Friendship. Please stay safe my Little Angel until mommy gets there.

Hello...This is Scooter 'Bugs' MOM. Your little christoper is such a doll. I loved the Memorial that you wrote and I share in every detail of it. There is never enough time with our little ones and it's so heartbreaking when they leave us. You know I only got to have Scooter 6 years and it truly has been the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with in my long life. I hope your days are getting a little easier for you. It's been almost 2 months for me since my loss and it feels like it was yesterday. In 2005 our Bichon, Kuddles died very suddenly on Christmas Eve and I thought I would never have to go thru something so traumatic again, but here I am.
This looks like a lovely memorial site. I'll have to look at it closer. I know you saw my Scooter on critters.com. I hope you left a msg. in the guestbook. SCOOTER 'BUG' my little Yorkie dog.
NO, the owners/breeders of Scooter...I never found them and that makes me very sad. Good luck to you. JO

Dear Christopher,
What a beutiful memorial from your Mommy who loves you so much! Be a good boy and take good care of my Luiz; he can be so shy. You sound like such a wonderful, fun little man, and maybe one day I'll get to meet you too.

On His journey to Eternal Spirit He paused but for a moment to kiss my life. With an innocence so blindingly sweet, He stole my heart. Remembered joy can break the heart, but who among us, even on the darkest day would choose to have missed the Joy....

Georgeann - My heart goes out to you on the loss of your sweet boy Christopher. I too lost my beautiful boy Rudy, also a Shih Tzu 1/28/06 after only 2 years on this earth. My time with him changed my life forever as I know Christopher changed yours. Bless you both and Godspeed your healing. This verse always makes me feel better.I hope it helps your pain as well.

I am missing you so much tonight. I look at your sweet face and still cannot believe your are gone. I received a card from Bradshaw Vet tonight. Your Memorial Fund saved the life of a little kitten named Motor. Motor had a fractured pelvis and her family had no money to help her. Your fund paid for her care and now she is going to live and be OK. They were so grateful and wanted us to know. Their card is in your scrapbook. I know that you are so proud to have saved a sweet fur baby. How I wish I could have saved you. May the light from this beautiful candle shine upon you and bring happiness to your life. Someday we will be together again and I will never let you go. Stay safe and please wait for me.

Nights are so difficult without you. Coming home and not seeing you in the window breaks my Heart. Once again the tears are falling and the pain is overwhelming. My Life is so sad without you. I miss you more each day. Soon it will be one year since you left me here and went to the Bridge. How is that even possible? It feels like you left yesterday. As I sit here and stare at your sweet face it just breaks my heart that you are gone. The pain in my chest is so intense I feel as if I cannot breathe. Why did God have to take you? I will miss you Forever Angel. Please stay safe and wait for me; I promise we will be together again.

Georgeann, I'm lighting a candle today for Christopher to let him know that his memory will sustain his mommy forever, and that she will move forward with a life of happiness. This is how Christopher would want it to be.

On Valentine's day, I brought home a special little baby boy and named him Mr. Pismo Porter.

Mr. Porter has not replaced my beloved Tico, as no dog can ever do that. Rather, he has filled a void left in my daily life by Tico's departure.

He awaits my return home every day to feed him, to hold him, to kiss him, to throw the ball, to talk to him - and to love him. He cuddles with me at night and wakes me each morning with a shower of wet kisses.

It's been a long and torturous year for you, and Christopher would want you to heal, as I have. He is at Rainbow Bridge and you are here, and this is where you are to stay. Memories are a wonderful and cathartic thing.

--Lynn

What a darling little face your sweet Christopher had. No wonder that you loved him so much. I know an anniversary of any loved one's death is a hard thing to cope with. Sometimes, unless you are a true animal lover and your pet is part of your family, people do not understand the grief behind someone losing their beloved pet. Just letting you know that thoughts are with you at this difficult time and God Bless you both. Jen X

Hi Georgeann and Christopher,
When I read your candles I feel a real connection to your mummy and how she felt about her boy - the same way I felt about my cat BamBam who passed away after a difficult life of 8 years but who filled my life with a purpose and a love that no-one can replace.


I have found solace in the fact that his brother Sox was left with me to help me through the long difficult months ahead. Bam Bam has only been gone just on 7 months and I couldnt even function throughout the day without sobbing for the first 3 months and cried myself to sleep after pondering over his memorial for hours listening to his chosen music theme over and over again until I went almost crazy with grief.

But BamBam was a beautiful soul and we had a connection much the same as you and Christopher and my newfound friend from this website Kathy and her dear little Pommy Bear-Bear and my other friend Edgar and his beloved cat Tigger who he had for 11 long years.

Some of us have had the benefit of having another furry member of the family to remain with us and help us through the difficult transition period but Christopher your mummy is grieving too long now and I am worried about her.

God Bless her and shine your love down on her to guide her through this dark valley for the last time, out into the warmth of the sunshine and a world where others care and there are other dear little animals out there so desperate for a home and a loving heart to give their trust and affection to.

Help Georgeann to see that whilst Christopher has gone, he has not gone from her memory and that he loved her so very much and would not want to see her crying for him for such a long time.

Lord, help Christopher guide Georgeann to a world of smiles and happiness by remembering him with love and not sadness - the way Christopher would want her to remember him. Please help her to realise that so much love is going to waste when their are so many abandoned, saddened hearts out there asking for an opportunity to love and be loved by someone who has so much to offer.

Christopher can never be replaced but being your loyal companion for so long, you wouldnt want him to be wasting his happy days in Rainbow Bridge sitting waiting for you when he can get on with so much fun and adventure until you have been brought together again - when it is God's intention for you to be so and Christopher would never want to see you watching life pass you by with tears in your eyes and a heavy heart when you could be sharing that special love you have for animals with another worthy recipient.

God Bless you and God Bless Christopher for entering your life and may he bless you even more by encouraging you to find a companion to get you through the next stages of your life without sorrow, without sadness. Be happy for what you had together. It has not gone. It is still as fresh in your memory as when it happened and no-one can take that from you. Smile again, love again and be whole again.

Love Jennifer X
