A LETTER FROM YOUR PET IN HEAVEN


To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say.
But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from the Bridge.
Here I dwell with God above.
Here there's no more tears of sadness
Here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me
and He said, "I welcome you. It's good to have you back again,
you were missed while you were gone. As for your dearest family,
They'll be here later on."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night the day's chores put to flight,
God and I are closest to you ... in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years,
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry: it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
If I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
But together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too;
That as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain;
Then you can say to God at night ... "My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented ... that my life was worthwhile.
Knowing as I passed along I made somebody smile.
God says: "If you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low;
Just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street with me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind."
"And when it's time for you to go ... from that body to be free.
Remember you're not going ...
you're coming here to me."

That's a very touching post, Majj. Thanks for sharing

That is absolutely beautiful...

Majj, where did you find this? Do you know who wrote it? I'd like to see if I can get permission to use it.

~sitting here crying~
It was beautiful.

Having just lost a pet, this was very touching to me. I keep trying to think this way, but it does still hurt very much, every corner you turn expecting to see him. Bubba asking where is Tiger all the time, you just can't forget. But I do know he is in a better place - I just miss him Thank you for sharing this.

I love it!! Made me cry!

Thats beautiful Majj..

omg it made me cry too.... it killed me when i had to put on of my dogs down ( she got into rat posion outside ) all i could do was tell her how sorry i was... i keep her picture on my computer....

That was beautiful Majj.

This time of year I cry for a human being, my son who died 6 years ago on the 14th of December.

My heart is so broken this time of year, not because of the loss of an animal, but for the loss of my Son, Jeff.

That is beautiful!

That was so beautiful - especially after losing my love bird Pete. I love that, and I will use it in his memorial if you don't mind and in his shadow box.

Tears are streaming from my eyes as I type... Thank you for bringing this beautiful poem to my attention. God Bless you!

Thanks for that beauitful poem,I lost my brother 7 months ago and my heart still breaks.I miss him so much he was so brave and strong.I know everyone says his in a better place and I know that but that does'nt make it any easier I still want him here with me I guess I'm selfish.
The first thing I'm going to do when I get to heaven is grab my little brother and dance for Jesus!

Dang, Majj... you made me cry, too!

That was beautiful. I was sitting here crying reading it. Thanks for sharing it.

Beautiful poem, gave me goose bumps. Thanks for sharing.

You always know just the right things to say and write. It brought me to tears all over again. Thanks so much for sharing this, Majj!

Darn it Majj! Now I am having trouble seeing my keyboard thru the tears!

Last nite for the first time I dreamed of my mom who I lost in February of last year. I woke myself up crying! I miss her so much. And this poem just reminds me of the dogs that SHE lost before she lost her battle with cancer ... to think they are ALL together, including her beloved Dynamite, Ruffles, and Benji ... my fids are wondering why their mummy is blubbering away on the computer

Thank you so much. I will share this with a friend who just recently had to put her kitty down after over 15 years.

It is so very touching ...

Oh Majj, thank you so much for posting that. I was on my way to bed and decided to come to this part of the forum. THat touched me like never before. I know everyone felt my pain when I lost my babies... But reading this helps to know that they are still with me. I just can't stop crying. Thank You so much!
God Bless

Forgive me if I don`t come here often as it makes me so sad to read of the loss of a loved one ..Its coming up to the 2nd year of the departure of my JJ and I know my heart is starting to feel heavy again....Lisa I don`t think you will ever get over your loss it was so tragic and you must have felt so helpless....I cry with you and for your little loved fids...I cry for all the hurt and pain in this world some times when I am down I don`t think I can handle it , but we all mustr go on for there are others that need and rely on us , but my heart will never forget those that wait over rainbowbridge, I hope that one day we will all be united and in a happy place...

Thank you very much for that, the other night I came home to have my mom tell me they had to put my dog down and have not yet had a good cry about it. It truely made me feel better knowing he's here with me. His name was Odin, we rescued him from the pound, he was on meds throughout his life, but a very loving, and friendly dog, we thought he was getting better and then I got this news. I think I may still have been in shock. But again thank you.
