Posts: 10009 07/24/11 03:59 PM Administrator	Tags : None I need to apologize for this taking me soooo long. This happened the Sunday, 3 days after we had to say goodbye to Nash. Perhaps it's all else that was going on, or just my state of denial. But I know I need to share this with you all......friends who have been through this heartbreaking, yet joyful journey with my sweet Nash and I. First is something that took place on the day we made the last trip to the Vet. After that is the story of my Sunday, 3 weeks ago today. When Terry and I took Nash to the Vets Friday, there was music playing......which there always is, but when I sat down with Terry and Nash, I realized if was Eric Clapton's 'Tears in Heaven'.....for those of you that don't know the lyrics, here they are. Would you know my name If I saw you in heaven? Would you feel the same If I saw you in heaven? I must be strong and carry on Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven... Would you hold my hand If I saw you in heaven? Would you help me stand If I saw you in heaven? Ill find my way through night and day Cause I know I just can't stay here in heaven... Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees Time can break your heart, have you begging please...begging please Beyond the door there's peace Im sure And I know therell be no more tears in heaven... Would you know my name If I saw you in heaven? Would you feel the same If I saw you in heaven? I must be strong and carry on Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven... Today, well actually for the last two days I've been looking for a sign. I went to church this morning, and then mom and I went to the hospital. It was hard at church because so many of our friends know Nash, and came to give hugs and all. Then seeing dad, we decided not to talk about it today. After I dropped mom, and was on my way home, the dread set in. You know that dread of going home and not having Nash greeting me at the door, or up in the den with Terry. I started crying. I started praying. I said 'Lord, I just need to know that Nash is okay, just some sign, because we loved him so'. As I was driving the back way home, and just after I said that prayer, I rounded a corner, and there was the Sun starting to set, and off to the left was this little tiny partial rainbow. I thought, there has been no rain, am I seeing that right? It was so sweet, and small, just the bottom end before it curved.....and I thought 'Lord, is this the sign, is this really a rainbow?'......and there on the left side of the road was this big sign at the end of someone's driveway......it said: For Sale RAINBOW Gym set Now I was balling.......God gave me my answer, bigger than life, and then I remembered the Rainbow Bridge.....where my little Prince is waiting for Terry and I. He rolled it all into one beautiful package for me. It was a beautiful sign, and so perfect in many ways. In the Christian faith, the rainbow is a sign of promise from God. And I knew that everything was okay. My heart is still breaking, and we didn't have enough time with Nash, but I am so grateful for the time I was given, and I know that Nash is being looked after, is happy and whole and waiting for his loved ones.

Remember the rainbow I mentioned......well, today, a family that doesn't come to our church, but whose kids take violin lessons from our Pastors daughter were there. They come once in a while to play their violins with Marjie. But Marjie got married in May, and she was home this weekend....so they visited to play with her (btw, totally awesome). The mother came up to tell me she had heard about our Nash, from her son who is a friend of mine on Facebook. She said we were so sad for you, and we had to have our sweet 9 year old bunny PTS at the same time as your Nash. She was in tears, and wanted to know if I was okay? I don't know this woman well, but was so touched. Anyway, I told her the rainbow story, and she had tears rolling down her cheeks. When I was finished, she said, 'and there is more to the story......'. I thought she was going to tell me something about bunny. But instead she said, 'you know your rainbow......they are actually called sun dogs'. Now I was in tears. My friends, I know that you may think I am nuts, but I just know that God sent her today with her beautiful tears and compassion and love to tell me that my rainbow sun dog was just for me. It was the final confirmation that my boy is fine, and God is caring for him, because he cared enough to give me such exquisite details to a wonderful sign. I miss that boy sooo much, but I know, that he is in a better place, whole and happy and wagging his little tail. That won't stop the tears, which are falling right now.......but it gives me comfort to know God cared enough to make sure I got the message loud and clear. My Nash is fine......

Posts: 1302 07/26/11 02:51 PM	That is an awesome story cindy, I need to quit reading these at work people wonder what the heck is going on with the tears and all. Your sun dog is just like my star dog that shined in the sky until Koda became a part of my life and Aspen knew I would be okay. Big Hugs to you my friend! BTW gave me a great idea on my last tattoo, was doing the rainbow bridge with my aspen, halo and wings, but now I have to get the sun in there too:) Aspen, Yellow Lab, 13years old diagnosed with diabetes 12/22/09. Got her wings on August 23rd, 2010. She will be missed but remembered with much joy in my heart always.

Yes Penny, I am sure your coworkers don't know what to think. And when you get the tattoo, we'll all want to see it.....
