The day Isaw the light from rainbow bridge
by Jane .........................................
My darling Butch. One year today I had to let you go, its not that I had any choice. I couldnt bear to see you in anymore pain. My baby bear you were only just seven that same week, when I took you to the vets with a tummy upset. I was relieved when the vet gave you an injection, then your brother Clyde got the same bug ...why would I question anything? There was a certain look about you on the Saturday, as your mummy I knew instictively when you werent right. You began staring at nothing and you had a different smell about you, I would certainly know it again. The next day you started fitting, I thought you had eaten a wasp, but the fits kept on and on. Your daddy took you to the vets where you had a huge fit. I got to the vet straight after, I sat with you in a kennel for seven hours while you were on a drip. The vet let you come home,you then started howling and doing rituals, I gave you reiki and asked for you to be healed. Me and daddy sat with you all night, the morning came and we bathed you and took you and Clyde up to your favourite walk. But you were walking and bumping into things, you didnt know us or anything familiar. Daddy took you to the vets around 5.00 when it was confirmed that you had a brain tumour. My heart was about to break.Daddy brought you home and we then took you back to the vets , Clyde came aswell. I carried you in my arms , I rememmber just putting my head against the wall I thought I was going to pass out. The vet put the leathal injection in your paw and then you went to sleep.My darling, I have never felt pain like it, but on the Saturday me daddy and Clyde went out for the day, daddy stopped the car to let Clyde out for a wee when Gary Barlows song 'Patience'came on the radio. I began to listen to the words as they were comforting, 'any minuite now all the pain would pass' were the lyrics I most remembered. As we began our journey home, a small rainbow appeared but not in the traditional arch shape..it was in a line. Then the most amazing light appeared and stayed until we got home where the three of us me, daddy and Clyde were looking up at you.I knew you were safe at rainbow bridge. Today is your first anniversery and I have just taken Clyde for his walk when the same rainbow and light has just appeared to us, but this time a black shadowy figure came out from the light and just stopped. I felt you there right by me my sweet prince. I just want to tell you that there isnt a day that goes by when I dont think about you and miss you and I still get a pain in my stomach. Please understand why I had to let you go, we miss you so much. All our love, mummy, daddy and Clyde. P.s Clyde misses you too x.x.x.
