Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of Heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal 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 they can run and play together.
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 whole 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, someone who was left behind.
They all run and play together,
but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance.
His bright eyes are intent; his eager body begins to quiver.
Suddenly, he breaks from the group, flying over the green grass, faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet,
you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again.
The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head,
and you look once more into those trusting eyes,
so long gone from your life, but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together...

実家の猫が今日虹の橋を渡りました。
16歳になるところでした。

今年の夏は酷暑になるらしいから、超えられるかな？って
家族で心配していたんです。

16歳という年齢から考えて、みんな覚悟はしていましたが
やっぱり、つらい。

会社から帰宅後すぐに実家に帰ってお別れをしてきました。
名前は男の子なのに『マドンナ』で、いつのまにか
『まぁちゃん』呼ぶと必ずお返事をしてくれるいいこでした。

まぁちゃん、お疲れ様。最期一緒にいてあげれなくって
ごめんね。虹の橋で待っていてね。

病気だった子も年老いていた子も、みんな元気を取り戻し、
傷ついていたり不自由なからだになっていた子も、
元のからだを取り戻すのです。まるで過ぎた日の夢のように。

そうなっていると信じてるね。まぁちゃん。
