Ever wonder what they would say if they could write home. This was on a facebook page of a group I belong to... and yea... you might have to grab a tissue.. but it IS a good read.. and makes me smile because I could hear Franklin saying it!! We used to talk for our dogs.. don't we all? lol
Letter Home
Hello my family, it's me. I wanted to tell you how I am and what I have been doing. I start each day off my saying good morning to you and sending you my love in the rays of the sun. I have many friends here, we reach out to
each other here like you do in Pet Loss. we each have a place where we can sit and gaze into the blue water that run under Rainbow Bridge. Here we can watch our loved ones and whisper to your heart.
Is a beautiful place here the colours glow with the warmest of love and the Angels of the Rainbow watch over us until we are one again. Not a moment goes by that I don't think of you. Not a day goes by that i don't feel the warm touch of the memories we share. So many times I stop and smile thinking of how you would buy me the most
wonderful toys and I wanted the box they came in. I would hear you laugh as you watched me run and play with my new toy. The joy in that laughter is always with me. I always knew I had a place all my own in your heart and that I always will. I have always known what was on your mind as you knew mine. It was that bond that joined us long before time. The bond that was written in the stars. Please remember that is always and forever. I have pictured what it will be like when is time. I will sense you near and will look up and see you coming towards me.
I will run to you and feel your gentle hugs and kisses. Our tears will flow and the healing of reunion shall be. Of course I shall show you off, I boast about you all the time and tell of my pride in you. I will say here is my loved one with such a
wide grin that all will know how much you mean to me. I know is hard waiting, is never easy to wait for what you wish with all your heart. Remember for me that one day we will be as one again forever and always. I will send you others to warm your lonely heart and when you hug them you also hug me. Through them we will touch again and they will have a home which is your arms. You have so much love to give just reach out and give of it to others. Like you have always done for me.
I am now going to my spot by the waters of the bridge and send this letter to you on the winds of peace. Till our day of reunion look into the stars each night and the star that winks at you is me.
Love always and forever from your Bridge Baby. Know I am always near and always your's.

Franklin, he was the Happiest Dog on Three Legs! Diagnosed 09/26/2012 with Osteosarcoma, amputated 12/4/2012. Had a wonderful 5 1/2 months painfree until he ran for the Bridge on 5/15/2013. Always in my heart, and always a guardian angel of my pack... You can follow his Tripawd Adventures, before and after, in my blog, Frank'n'Farter!
Ohhhh Christne-----ohhhhh Christine..........ohhhhh my goodness, that is soooo beautiful! So very, very beautiful! Oh my goodness.
The rays of the sun.....the whispers to the heart.......ohhhh my goodness! Just beautiful and so comforting
Almost .....not quite.........but almost makes you want to hop onto that train to Rainbow Bridge right now.--..but I guess it's only a one way ticket......or not!
But, as the letter said, "we have too much love to give....just reach out and give to others"....so we need to stay here for. now!
This site is a stellar example of reaching out to others with love.
Thank you, Christine and Frank n'' farter' for reaching out to us:-)
We love you!
