Bear-Bear Tributes

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....

Bear-Bear,

I miss you so much my little pumpkin, my Angel! You are my sweet baby boy. It is beyond painful. you passed on Friday Jan.30th 2009. I have had a hard time to write on your memorial. You are on my mind all the time. I keep thinking you will be back here with me. I have so much I want to say. You left so quickly. I have so much guilt. You have to be in Heaven now. I love you forever and ever. I will close for now. I will write again later.

With all my love and all my heart love mommy

From Bear Bear Up In Heaven

I heard a voice call out my name; it urged me to obey,

But then I heard your muffled sobs and asked if I could stay.

The voice was kind and gentle, it answered Just tonight;

Ill let you hover close to her until the morning light.

I saw you wrap me carefully and take me to your bed,

I saw each tear, felt every hug and heard each word you said.

I wanted to come back to you to show you Im okay--

To wipe the numbness from your heart, to brush your hurt away.

For many years I knew just how to comfort and amuse you,

To follow closely by your side so I would never lose you.

I knew just when to kiss you face or snuggle by your side,

But that day I was helpless, my little paws were tied.

As morning filtered through the room, the voice returned to me,

Come with me, Bear Bear, it is time to see eternity.

Ill help your Cathy find her peace and ease her grieving pain

I promise you her tears will dry and she will smile again.

I followed very closely, and saw a wondrous sight;

A bridge and then a Rainbow beyond a brilliant light.

A multitude of puppies were tumbling in the grass,

They ran to me adoringly when Jesus let me pass.

These babies need a teacher, and I have chosen you,

To train them and to nurture them like Cathy taught you to.

I know that you will guide them, and help each one to grow.

I know that you will cherish them and show them all you know.

My days up here are busy with things to do and see,

These little guys are learning fast, youd be so proud of me.

But when the day is over, theres one last thing to do;

I travel on a moonbeam that takes me back to you.

Until we are together, I watch you every night,

And try to give you peaceful dreams until the morning light.

If you should feel a flutter, like something in your hair,

Its only me just kissing you to show you Im still there.

You taught me to be loyal, and filled my life with joy,

Im passing that to every little puppy girl and boy.

And when the time is over that we must be apart,

Ill be here waiting for youyouve never left my heart.

Love

Bear Bear

For Bear Bear and his Mommy, Kathy. They say memories are golden well maybe that is true. I never wanted memories, I only wanted you. A million times I needed you, a million times I cried. If love alone could have saved you you never would have died. In life I loved you dearly, In death I love you still. In my heart you hold a place no one could ever fill. If tears could build a stairway and heartache make a lane, I'd walk the path to heaven and bring you back again. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same. But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

	I am so sorry for your loss of this darling little dog, your beloved companion, your lifeblood. I know from the way you speak because I lost my darling cat of 8 years Bandit (Bam Bam) McCarthy around the same time on the 1st February, 2009. I miss him terribly like a part of me went with him. I would like you to know that someone else knows and feels your pain and cares about how you feel and I pray that now your little Bear Bear is in Rainbow's Bridge waiting until you meet again, that both of you take comfort in the knowledge that he is with your passed over loved ones and is being taken care of. God Bless You and Bear Bear. x Jennifer

	Hello darling little Bear Bear, I am your mommy's new friend Jennifer (Bam Bam's mummy) and I hope you are happy in Rainbow Bridge and have made some lovely new friends to be part of your little family until we can all be with our beloved babies again when we cross Rainbow Bridge ourselves. Your mommy loves you so so much, just like I love BamBam and I think about you and hope you have made friends with him and my other friend Edgar's cat Tigger and all the other animals that you see there. God Bless you dear little one, your face makes me want to reach out and cuddle you, you are a bundle of cute fluffyness and you are desperately missed here by your mommy. Love Jen X

	My sweet Bear-Bear, I am so sorry that I have notbeen on your memorial, for a long time, but I pray for you all the time. You are always in my thoughts. Oh Bear-Bear mommy loves you so much, I can't take it. I had been grieving so much. I could not function to do things. So I just had to try to deal, mostly I have been in denial. It dosn't seem fair that life goes on without you. I miss you all the time my pumpkin. Tomorrow is your Birthday, you would have been 11yrs old. I wish you a happy birthday my baby boy, my Bear-Bear. I will forever love you Bear-Bear. Please God make it so, that we will be together again. Mommy loves you Bear-Bear

I love you. I want to just cuddle you once more and give you goodies,and play with you. With all my heart and soul, I love you forever. Mommy

	A little bit late this month Bear Bear. Im sorry but the intent was there, just had a few problems bringing it to fruition. Well it is 7 months since you left your mommy Kathy and 7 months since my Bam Bam left me and still we mourn you both. Only good thing that came out of this tragedy my dear sweet little doggie with the smiling face is that your mommy and I are now firm caring friends, regardless of the miles and seas between us - we are close through understanding, empathy and a mutual love and respect for our pets and eachother. She is happy and a married lady now Bear Bear. You would have made a beautiful Bridesmaid. I know you were there and looking down at her with all the love in your heart you could possibly have for her and Brad. I hope Kathy knows that your love will never go away - despite all those light years between you and she and me and Bam. Love is a magnificent atom that transends time and space and can be implanted on anyone or anything to watch it blossom and grow. Mommy and I were blessed to have you and Bam Bam and our other pets now passed over into your World as our own. I hope that one day we will meet dear sweet little Bear Bear and that you and BamBam are snuggled up together each night to give eachother love and comfort until we come to you. Always your caring Earth Angel, Jennifer X

	My sweet Bear-Bear, It is 8 months today since you left me. I love you so much. I still cry every day, I miss you all the time. You will be forever in my heart. I had it put in my will, that your ashes will be buried with me, when it is my time. I saw Kim today your groomer. I have been avoiding, to go by there, I new I would break down. She didn't know, what had happened to us. She will miss you Bear-Bear. It was really good to share with Kim, it helped me, so much to talk. God Bless her! Jennifer has been so good too, God Bless her! I love you so much pumpkin pie. Mommy

	Happy Halloween little Pumpkin. Dear sweet faced little Bear Bear your mummy told me how much you loved Halloween. So just to let you know that someone besides your family is thinking of you at your special time and with all the love in the world. From your mummy's friend, Jennifer
Posted by Jennifer McCarthy on 10/31/2009

	Hi Bear Bear, I just wanted to say Hi and that I was thinkging of you at Halloween and now again at Christmas and that I hope your mummy is ok. She doesnt keep in touch anymore. I hope that it is because she is coping with life better now and no longer has time for me and not because I have upset her in some way. I write many times but get no reply. God Bless you Bear Bear and take care of mummy- always watch over her. Love Jen X

	Hi Bear Bear, I am sorry I missed your 1st year anniversary - I missed Bam Bam's too. I had no computer or internet for a few days while it was down. I am shocked that your mommy hasnt been on here because I know how much she loved you. I havent heard from her in a long time and I suppose the friendship to her was because we had something in common - grieving and as the pain has eased she has decided we have nothing in common to continue with that friendship. But I couldnt forget you and your dear little face. I pray one day you are both reunited in eachothers arms - just like Bam and I. God Bless you Bear Bear Your earth friend JEN X
Posted by Jennifer McCarthy on 02/04/2010

	My sweet Bear-Bear, Mommy has not been on for a long time, but you know that I love you and miss you. I think of you all the time. You are always in my prayers. June 18th was your Birthday! I love you little pumpkin and happy Birthday. All my love sweet Bear-Bear. Mommy

He is a soul worth knowing and I think you would be too. Love Jen X
