Rainbow Bridge: Paddy Memorial

Writer's picture: Jennifer EileenJennifer Eileen

When a beloved fur child crosses the Rainbow Bridge, I offer a memorial and celebration of the life of Paddy O' Roberts in a consultation/communication facilitated by international anim



Paddy was a former outdoor community cat cared for by employees of HPES in 2010. He adapted to home living with me, thus I offer an example of the nature of community cats. I am grateful to the employees of HPES in 2010 who gave him sustenance, and the anonymous Trap-Neuter-Return operators who returned him to his home turf. I am grateful to the many community cat advocates and the kind compassionate people who care for outdoor cats. I hope Paddy's life will be an inspiration. I offer this episode as a testimony to eternal soul and the loving universe that created us and to whom we return, and the joy that this blessed fur being gave me for 15 years. Thank you.


RAINBOW BRIDGE POEM: 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.
