🥹 It's been two years since I helped my sweet goober child Jasper over the rainbow bridge.

I still miss you you sweet weirdo, who growled at strangers when I met you at the humane society mere seconds after purring and rubbing your face on my eyebrow on the day I met you and we both decided you'd be my cat.

I'm grateful I got to give you seven years of companionship, and I hope you've forgiven me for adopting the dog in 2019.

In case folks don’t know: author, historian, and photographer Paul Koudounaris found the Edna Clyne-Rekhy who wrote the original Rainbow Bridge poem for her yellow Lab Major back in 1959.

Grab tissues before reading the article, because it’s sweet and sad.

🥹 thank you Edna and Major for encapsulating pet loss and grief

It’s been 7 years to the day since I helped my first English Setter, Luke, over the rainbow bridge. He was a rescue and was in my life from 2008-2018.

If I’m honest with myself he saved my life with his unconditional love, and set me on the path it took to become who I am today.

I miss you so much buddy.

If the Bridge is real I look forward to seeing you again. Otherwise: I hope you passed thru the Bardo easily, and you reincarnated well
