What the heck IS the Rainbow Bridge anyway? According to the story (and the poem by the same name) the Rainbow Bridge leads to a lush green meadow where it’s sunny all the time, there’s plenty to eat and drink, and pets get to run and play all day. But even though they are running and playing and eating, they are still missing their human companion. When their human dies they join their pet temporarily in the meadow, and then they both travel across the bridge to Heaven. Someone once asked our pastor if pets go to Heaven. I loved his response: If the pet makes you happy and complete, then Heaven wouldn’t be Heaven without them. I found that comforting. I’m heading home now to give my Jack a nice walk and a lot of attention.
RIP Meena!
