The Rainbow Bridge story
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 vigour; 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

I hope this brings you comfort.. I know in my heart of hearts my loved pets await me there for when I "go Home"

Ya know, Greedy, I've never really quite understood that, given that centuries ago people's main source for conducting a relationship was via - letter. There is much power in the written word.

I have two friendships that have lasted for over eight years now yet began online initially and it was over two years of communicating via email/messenger before we all had met in person. We'll be lifelong friends and knew that from the initial weeks of contact.

I'm glad you're finding a little comfort, it's great to know that people DO care.
