  15. Boo Boo rests against the paws of the great Wolf.

    "Is this a dream?" asks the little cat. His head moves upward as he listens to a bird call from the great Tree in the Meadow.

    "Yes, and it is reality, too" replies the Wolf, smiling down into the troubled little face. "You are sleeping now, and you are still on earth right now, in earthly time, and Lainey's hand is stroking you."

    "What am I doing here?"

    "You are seeing where you will be very very soon. Your papa will come for you, and you will join him in the Blessed Realm."

    "But I'm alive! I am still alive!" whispers the little cat.

    "Yes, but time is fluid, dear friend, and this is a dream. Watch now, and see what is real." The Wolf's head moves, and he gazes across at the Bridge.

    A man dressed in white stands at the end of the Bridge, and the Wolf and the little cat watch as Jack, a fox terrier, and Bootsie, a lovely young cat, dash across the wide green Meadow. The hearts of the dog and the cat are pounding, and although they have been here a long time as a clock ticks on earth, it seems just a handful of days that they have spent with the Wolf in the Meadow.

    The young man kneels down to hug the two pets, and the cat, twining around the feet of the man, cannot stop purring. The terrier barks softly, happily, treading on the white robe.

    "It is my papa!" Boo Boo turns to the Wolf. "But I can't go to him? I can't go to my papa?" The little cat cries in despair.

    "Now, you can go now!" and the Wolf kisses Boo Boo. Boo Boo rests his head against the Wolf's huge cheek.

    "Thank you!" he gasps, and he dashes across the wide Meadow to the young man, his legs stretching and his fur shining like silk in the morning sunlight.

    At the foot of the Bridge, Archie reaches down and sweeps Boo Boo up into his arms. Crying and purring, gasping for breath, Boo Boo cuddles into his papa's chest.

    The Wolf smiles as he walks across the Meadow to the Bridge, the wild grasses marking his passage.

    "Thank you, Wolf," and Archie's grin seems to split his kind young face. "I forgot that this really is Heaven! and that time moves differently."

    "And lovingly," says the Wolf. "All things are in God's time, friend Archie."

    The Wolf touches his nose to the beautiful little cat who stretches down from his home in Archie's arms.

    "Good bye, dear little friend."

    Archie's hand drops onto the great Wolf's shoulder, and he turns toward the Bridge.

    Two figures stand waiting for him, and he and the Wolf and the three little animals hear their voices, their silver laughter.

    Archie moves across the Bridge, holding Boo Boo, and Bootsie and Jack walk in front of him, running to Jean and to Sandy, to Bandit. Other pets move behind the Jean and Sandy, calling to them.

    The mist at the end of the Bridge blazes with light.

    They are together. Others will join them.

    And all, all in good time.

  19. {{{{EMMA!}}}} Thank you for such a beautiful, JOYFUL bridge story. It is perfect! I have such HAPPY tears flowing down my face right now. Not sad. There is time for that later this week. But JOYFUL! My daddy is a peace, happy, and surrounded by those he loved and loved him, two and four footed alike :) Bless you my friend!

  20. I've been thinking of you, your father, and your family all weekend, Lainey. I'm glad that the long vigil is finally over, that your father now has the peace and freedom for which he longed, and that the transition was a peaceful one.

    I read the obituary, and it was beautiful.

  21. Lainey,a friend of mine told me something very comforting ,that when a loved one passes,they will send a favor to their dear loved ones, so keep a look out for it,it will come when you need it most. I've found it to be really true and so comforting and you feel so wrapped in their love and peace from the experience.

    Paulajeanne,bumblebee,Lainey,Thankyou

  25. ((((Lainey))) So sorry for your loss, but it sounds like it was your dad's time to go and it was a peaceful ending to a life well lived. I'm glad you were able to be with him at the end like you had wanted to be.
