Kodiak--Always my little Man

My First year at the Bridge

Soon it will be my first year at the Rainbow Bridge.
I arrived with much fanfare on Sept 14, 2008.
I was met by my new eternity friends: Elsa, Angel,
Charley, and so many others. They made my first
days here wonderful. They showed me so many
things and made me feel welcome in my new
surroundings. Their forever families made my
mom and dad feel better too about my leaving
them. In their search for answers and comfort
they met many people who were grieving their
own losses, but wanted to help others in need.
It made a big difference in their quest to find
help in their time of great loss & helplessness.
To Mom & Dad: I just want you to know I am
Okay. I am better than Okay. I have adjusted
quite well here. I run and fly and play all day.
All of this with no pain, no cancer. I don't
blame you for sending me here. I was so sick
and you loved me so much, you made the
decision to let me go. I didn't want to leave
you on my own. Your faces were so sad, you
both cried so much. I thought I should stay
with you and be strong even though I was in
so much pain. But you let me go and I bless
you every day I'm here for that hard decision.
Even though I miss you both more than barks
can say, I love my life here. I love to greet
the new arrivals and let them know how much
they are still loved and will be loved for
eternity.
I love you Mom & Dad, thats forever you know!
Don't worry, we'll meet again. I promise.

Hi sweet boy!
It's been nearly 10 months since you've been at
the Rainbow Bridge. Are you enjoying your
summer? You're such an active boy that I know
you have many friends and play all day long.
This time last year you were starting to get ill.
I am so glad your suffering is gone. I miss you
so, but cannot bear that you were in pain.
I know you have forgiven us for taking you to
the vet the day we let you go. Your loving
nature will be in my heart forever, you are
definitely one in a million. Enjoy your summer
my sweet, you are gone but never forgotten.

Hi sweetie:
Sorry I haven't written in a while. I'm finding it a little
harder to visit this site and see your photos as often
as I used to. It seems more real now for some reason.
I can't put it into words I guess. I should be getting
better and coping easier. But it's not happening.
I still feel such a hole where you should be. The house
is still empty without you there. I feel you still, but
I want to hold you again. Bunky is not well, I just
pray he is not going to join you soon. I can't go through
this again in less than a year. Keep your watch over us
like you always do.
I'll be thinking of you on Mother's Day my sweet and I
know you'll be thinking of me too.
Love to you always,
Mom
