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 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 distance. His bright eyes are intent. His
eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying
over the green grass, his legs carrying 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 the 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....

I am not dead -
I just change the rooms
I live in you -
And walk through your dreams.

Nothing was too late - but a lot was too soon. - life is not fair.
I can´t see anymore - do not believe my eyes.
Just can´t believe anymore - feelings have turned.
I´m too lazy to give up - it will be too soon - because everything
must change.
Nothing was too late - but a lot was too soon - life is not fair.
It was a piece of heaven - to have you with us.
You´ve filled every room with sun, you´ve turned every displeasure
to the contrary.
We´ve been conspired, we would have been died for eachother, we´ve
bowed the rain,
We´ve lended confidence to eachother, we´ve pushed us through many
tides.
Nothing was too late - but a lot was too soon - life is not fair.
Northern nobel your gentle kindness, your boundless pride, your
certain walk,
Your cheerful dignity, your endless fate.
Have you secure in my soul - carry you with me - until my curtain will
fall.
(Der Weg, Herbert Grönemeyer)
On September, 13th 2002 we felt like loosing the ground under our feet.
Badkes Ben didn´t wake up from an anesthesia at the age of 2 ½ years.
The centre of our family wasn´t there anymore.
We had the opportunity to share a part of our life with him. We spent
a beautiful time together and we learned a lot from him - during the
short time which was granted us together. He was a faithful and
reliable friend on a lot of walks and journeys.
His kindness, his pride, his greatness and his sunny mind made every
day to a special day. For all this we are endless grateful for him.
This good-bye means not the end for us, Bens influence to our life
will continue.
There will be no day, we will not think about him. And there will be
times - the memory of Ben will bring us back to the only truth - the
reality, that love is the only strength that make us sensitive for the
demands of living being, both - animals and men.
