I'm so sorry.... I cant stop crying

Just this side of Heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an aniumal 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 that they can run and play topgether. 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 vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made well 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 intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group,flying over the green grass, his legs carring him faster and faster.

You have been spotted and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, not to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face: your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look on again into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life, but never absent from your heart.

Then, you cross the Rainbow Bridge together..........

Oh no, I have been afraid to check this thread because I was scared to find this. Now I'm crying and I am so sorry. I know how you feel (((( ))))))

Sicy your post is beautiful. That means a lot to me too. Thanks.

Some more sad but sweet words I have saved:

I will lend a cat to you
for awhile, God said.
For you to love her while she lives,
and mourn her when she's dead.
Maybe for twelve or fourteen years,
or maybe two or three.
But will you, 'til I call her back,
take care of her for me?
She'll bring her charms to gladden you;
and should her stay be brief,
You'll always have her memories,
as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise she will stay,
since all from earth, return.
But there are lessons taught below,
I want this cat to learn.
I've looked the whole world over,
in search of teachers true.
And from the folk that crowd life's land,
I have chosen you.
Now will you give her all your love,
nor think the labor vain,
Nor hate me when I come
to take my cat back again?
It was then that we said
'Dear Lord, thy will be done.'
For all the joys this cat will bring,
the risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter her with tenderness,
we'll love her while we may.
And for the happiness we've known,
forever grateful stay.
But should you call her back,
much sooner than we'd planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes,
and try to understand.
When our faithful bundle
departs this world of strife,
We'll have yet another cat,
and love her all her life.

So I see these padded paws
run free and soft once more.
Wipe away the tear stains of your age,
and ruffle the fur that human tears
have many a time found
solace on. Run my boy; there is
a home for old cats like you,
where the milk saucer is always full,
the mice are plentiful,
and that old, hard-won scar on your ear
is often boasted about. But while
you enjoy these things, know this:
for all the peace you ever gave me,
my big boy, you?ll always have
a home in my heart.
