The Rainbow Bridge

I came across this version of The Rainbow Bridge poem and thought you all might like to see/hear it if you haven't already.

You'll need to have the volume up on your computer and (if you're like me) a couple of tissues in your hand.

It gets me every time. When both of my childhood dogs died I read that poem on a daily basis and cried while hugging their pictures. That poem helped me so much. I also get upset when reading that poem thinking about how lost I will be when my 2 now go (I've got a long ways to go they're both young.)

That is so beautiful!!!! I've read the poem many times but I have never seen it so beautifully illustrated. The tears are flowing...

Thanks for sharing...I hadn't seen that particular version of the Bridge poem.

Yeah, that's what gets me too. Scully is a healthy 9-year-old now and I hope she lives to be old as dirt (!!!), but I can't read these rainbow bridge things without bawling my eyes out because I find myself thinking about how it's gonna be when it's her turn to move on to the bridge.

I see some serious therapy in my future!!

It never fails to get me too. That's a very good version, thanks for the link.

In the long run, the Love is worth the inevitable loss, but I know what you mean about dreading 'the day'.

I think I'll go hug Minnie & Duds now, and give 'em a treat for no reason at all!

I'm the same way - I don't know why I even read them in the first place because I know they'll make me cry. This version really hit me hard - I guess it was the poem/music combination.
