Beau & Paquita by Gary & Dan / Beau’s best friend…Gary

This is for Dan…
who lost his best friend a month after I lost mine..
There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth…
It is called the Rainbow Bridge, because of its many colors…Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge
there is a land of meadows, hills and valleys
with lush green grass…
When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this place…there is always food, water and spring weather. The old and frail animals are young again. Those that are maimed are made whole again. They play all day with each other… There is only one thing missing. They are not with that special person who loved them on Earth. So, they run and play until the day comes when one suddenly stops playing and looks up. The nose twitches! The ears are up! The eyes are staring! And this one suddenly runs from the group! You have been seen, and when you and your special friend meet on that Rainbow Bridge, you look into the eyes of your loving pet, and know you will never be separated again…life is worth living knowing that at the end, you are not alone..There is someone who truly and unconditionally loves you,
and is waiting for you…..

 

For Dan and Paquita,
Beau & Paquita
