Teddy Luther – In Memory of Pets

Dear Mom & Dad.

I see you’re crying because it’s time for me to go.

But please… don’t cry.

Let me explain something to you.

I know you’re heartbroken, but I want you to know — I’m not sad. I’m grateful.

Grateful that I got to meet you.

So many dogs never get that chance… to feel loved, to be part of a family, to be someone’s everything.

But I did. I had you.

I know you’re thinking you could’ve done more —

but please don’t blame yourself.

You gave me a home, a name, your time, your kindness, your love.

And that’s more than many ever get.

You gave me a beautiful life, even if it feels like it ended too soon.

We animals, we don’t live in the past or worry about the future — we live in the moment.

And every moment with you was filled with love.

That’s when my real life began… the day I met you.

So please, don’t cry for me.

I leave with a heart full of joy.

I remember your voice, your touch, the warmth of your home — our home.

You were my whole world.

Wipe your tears, and try to smile again.

Because there are others like me, waiting for someone just like you.

Please… give them what you gave me.

They need it, just like I did.

And you? You have so much love to give.

Thank you, my angel without wings.

I’ll be waiting — on the other side of the rainbow

~RAINBOW BRIDGE~

Dedicated to the Long Family with love, Antoinette

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….
