"I'll Be Missing You"

"It's A People Thing"
Conversations from the Bridge
by Ginny Brancato.

"She's crying again, I don't like it when my mom cries," Bo meowed to
Fifi and the others.I know they all meowed back in succession. It upsets
us too. "It makes me so sad when she cries, and I miss her so much," Bo said.
Bo turned to the others. She knows I miss her right? They know we miss them,
everyone chanted back to Bo. "But why do they always cry so much," Bo asked.
They know we are waiting and we will see them again"? "Well, Fifi purred,

"IT'S A PEOPLE THING."

Bo looked out over the rainbow. The colors of red, blue and pink
were all combined together and cast a soft glow over his shiny black fur. It
gleaned silky in the rays. Fifi Patted his head with her furry paw. "They love
us so much and we love them too. Don't be sad, Bo. Neek is helping your mom
get thru this. Of course no one ever replaces us. We were special." This time
everyone chanted "Yes," together. "Well, Bo said, I do miss the little things. I
miss how mommy always rubbed my belly and called me her handsome boy. I
miss her calling me sweetie. Bo glanced over at the rainbow and across the
golden glow of the Rainbow Bridge. I am waiting Mom. We are all waiting.
We will see you all again and you can rub my tummy and coo in my ear. Don't
be sad. We will be together once more." Bo turned again to Fifi. He had a solemn
look on his face. His white whiskers were perfect, his paws a shiny white.
"Fifi? If they all know we will see them again then why are they crying? They
know don't they? My mom knows I am waiting. We are all waiting?" "Yes,
everyone cooed back. They really know, don't they?" "Yes, Fifi said, they know,

IT'S JUST A PEOPLE THING."

All of a sudden a radiant white light glowed over all of them. The bridge lit
up in a golden color and a luminous figure walked across the bridge. Everyone
ran towards the figure, tailswagging, furiously. It's my mom somebody shouted.
It's for me. It's for me! Bye!! HURRAY could be heard and squeals of delight
filled the blue sky. Bye,bye, they all said. Bye! Bye, Bo yelled loudly. He felt
so much better now. Heknew for sure he would see his mom again and he knew,
she knew, he waswaiting. They could see the figure scoop up their delighted
little furry friend.Kisses and licks were exchanged, hugs and hugs and tears...
"See, Fifi said,when they all the saw the tears.
