Tomorrow, Oct. 7, 2012, marks the first year anniversary of- my journey to the Rainbow Bridge

Tomorrow is my First Rainbow Bridge Anniversary. One year ago, I grew so very tired and weak….I had struggled off and on for many years….but this day was different. Mommy knew it was time to let me go and peacefully send me to the bridge. What a devastatingly sad day for us all.

So on October 7, 2011, I received my beautiful golden wings and left earth. There are no words to adequately express the pain and emotions of that day...my final moments on earth...and the overwhelming peace of the journey to the sunlight of the bridge.

I never knew one dog, me, could touch so many lives and hearts,but I learned I had.I knew my work as a new angel would be invaluable to others. I have spent the last year spreading my golden wings and supporting others as they end their life’s journey and come to the bridge.I work along side all the beautiful angels here at the bridge to bring peace and comfort to all. I am with my forever family and friends, Jazzi, CK, CheyAnne, Sugar, Beamer, Skeeter, Leo, Casey, Calli, Tedibear, Duke, and all the others (sadly, there are too many angel friends to name in this diary entry). I am with my Love, Boss, too. We spend all our time together doing our angel work and waiting to be reunited with our families one day. Mommy says I did that on earth, too. I guess what she says makes more sense now. Mommy tells me, “My angels wear fur…”

The comfort, support and love so freely given by each of you through this past year and for all the time we have spent on Dogster and Catster never goes un-noticed or unappreciated by my family or me. We can never say thank you enough for sharing our lives and hearts and for making my journey and first year at the bridge easier to handle.

I will always miss the comfort of my mommy’s arms, the walks, the cuddle times with mommy, the play times with Dad, and the quiet times with them all…………………but as an angel, I get to stay close and share in special moments in a different way.

I will always miss each of you and the times shared……..but I hope you know as an angel….I am always there. I find comfort in knowing, I have become one of the Dogster Golden Angels….as I have always worked to bring sunshine and peace to all. I realistically know as one little doggie angel, I can’t make a huge difference in the world; however, I do believe it is the small differences that count. If I can wrap my golden wings around one kitty, doggie, or human and make difference, my angel work has been successful.

October 7, 2011….I went to sleep in my mommy’s arms and opened my eyes to the beauty of the bridge, the warmth of the sun and the heartache of being gone from my family. I know my family, especially mommy, misses me so; however, I see her smile now when she thinks of me and feels the warmth of the sun on her face. My very special "Jill" protrait hangs proudly on the wall to remind them every moment, I am there....

I thank each of you for all you are, and all you do……………and all you will become. I am blessed to have you for friends and family.
Ivy Joy, I am so sorry we could not spend more time together….you are an awesome kitty! Luna Rose, thank you for coming into our family and making them happy and smile. You rock, little one.

Please…To honor me on my first bridge anniversary tomorrow…..find a quiet moment in your busy day to close your eyes, relax and let the stress of the world go………………put your paw and/or hand over your heart….feel the beat….it’s me….look to the sun…………..and smile for I am watching over you…and most importantly, take time to give of yourself to another. It doesn’t have to be anything big…simply reach out and touch another’s heart…………………this will be the best way to honor my memory.

“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.”
~Theodore Roosevelt

I love you all and I am so grateful we have had you to help us adjust to my new life as a Golden Angel this past year. To all of you who have watched your special ones leave and go to the bridge, please do know....time will lessen the pain, but never the memory of what you shared together.

I am smiling down on each of you……….always warming your hearts with sunshine and peace!
Thanks for supporting my family, especially as their journey continues to be so very difficult right now. The best gift you can continue to give me is to live like there is no tomorrow and to love with all your hearts.

Thank you for changing my heart and life:

Our hearts are connected by paws.

Love and Golden Angel hugs, Sissy and family
