CAROLINE'S SPECIAL PAGE FOR SPECIAL FRIENDS
TO ALL MY FRIENDS--YOU ARE ALL SPECIAL TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU, WHO ARE MY SPECIAL FRIENDS I THANK YOU FOR YOUR FRIENDSHIP AND YOUR CARING. I WON'T LIST ANY NAMES AS THERE IS NOT ENOUGH ROOM, BUT YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
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 THE RAINBOW BRIDGE. THERE ARE MEDOWS AND HILLS FOR ALL OUR SPECIAL FRIENDS SO THEY CAN RUN AND PLAY TOGETHER. THERE IS PLENTY OF FOOD, WATR AND SUNSHINE,AND OUR FRINDS ARE WARM AND COMFORTABLE. ALL THE ANIMALS WHO HAD BEEN ILL AND OLD ARE RESTORED TO HEALTH AND VIGOR AGAIN. 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 MISS SOMEONE VERY SPECIAL TO THEM, WHO HAD TO BE LEFT BEHIND. THEY ALL RUN AND PLAY TOGETHER,BUT THE DAY COMES WHEN ONE SUDDENLY STOPS AND LOOKS INTO THE DIDTANCE. HIS BRIGHT EYES ARE INTENT,HIS EAGER BODY BEGINS TO QUIVER,SUDDENLY HE BEGINS TO RUN FROM THE GROUP,FLYING OVER THE GREEN GRASS,HIS LEGS CARRING HIM 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 THAT BELOVED HEAD,AND YOU LOOK ONCE MORE INTO THE TRUSTING EYES OF YOUR PET,SO LONG GONE FROM YOUR LIFE,BUT NEVER ABSENT FROM YOUR HEART. THEN YOU CROSS RAINBOW BRIDGE TOGETHER.

THE BEGINNING OF A NEW DAY IS LIKE THE OPENING OF A NEW FLOWER. THINK OF WHAT BEAUTY IT BELONDS, NOT THE THORNS THAT MY MAY OR MAY NOT HURT.
FOOTPRINTS
ONE NIGHT A MAN HAD A DREAM. HE DREAMED HE WAS WALKING ALONG THE BEACH WITH THE LORD.ACROSS THE SKY FLASHED SCENES DROM HIS LIFE. FOR EACH SCENE HE NOTICED TWO SETS OF FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND: ONE BELONGING TO HIM, AND THE OTHER TO THE LORD.

WHEN THE LAST SCENE OF HIS LIFE FLASHED BEFORE HIM,HE LOOKED BACK AT THE FOORPRINTS IN THE SAND. HE NOTICED THAT MANY TIMES ALONG THE PATHOF HIS LIFE THERE WAS ONLY ONE SET OF FOOTPRINTS. HE ALSO NOTICED THAT IT HAPPENED AT THE VERY LOWEST AND SADDEST TIMES IN HIS LIFE.

THIS REALLY BOTHERED HIM AND HE QUESTIONED THE LORD ABOUT IT:"LORD,YOU SAID THAT ONCE I DECIDED TO FOLLOW YOU, YOU'D WALK WITH ME ALL THE WAY.BUT I HAVE NOTICED THAT DURING THE MOST TROUBLESOME TIMES IN MY LIFE, THERE IS ONLY ONE SET OF FOOTPRINTS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WHEN I NEEDED YOU THE MOST YOU WOULD LEAVE ME"

THE LORD REPLIED:"MY SON, MY PRECIOUS CHILD, I LOVE YOU AND I WOULD NEVER LEAVE YOU. DURING YOUR TIMES OF TRAIL AND SUFFERING, WHEN YOU SEE ONLY ONE SET OF FOOTPRINTS, IT WAS THEN I THAT I CARRIED YOU"
