~*~ Keeper Of The Stars ~*~







She stretched and yawned - slowly waking. "Oh, I feel so wonderful today." As quickly as the thought formed she bolted instantly awake. "I DO feel wonderful she thought - how can that be?" Then she began to notice - where was she - and how did she come to be here?

She tried very hard to remember, but there was nothing after Chris' tears – the pain of a heart breaking. "I must have fallen asleep - but where has Chris taken us - and where is Chris?" Where she found herself was lovely - more lovely than she had ever seen. Daddy was nowhere to be seen and she began to feel uneasy - Chris was never far. She saw a shadow growing in the distance, thinking it was her Chris she bounded towards it. As she got closer she realized it was not a single figure - it was many, many figures. She stopped, wondering where she could hide, there were so many and all manner of beings - dogs, cats, birds, monkeys, ferrets, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, and so many others she had never seen. They quickly overtook her - every one of them seeming so excited to see her - and she felt terrified. She had never had to be with anyone but her Chris what did they want, what would they expect? "please," she thought, "just go away." and tears began to form.

She noticed, as if an answer to her plea, they all fell silent. Slowly a path formed through them. She had no idea what manner of being this one was though he looked like he might be a dog, but he was huge and with his thick silver fur he was lovely. Somehow she knew this one she could trust and she moved to his protection. "It's ok little one - they mean to be friendly - just a bit over excited that you are here and a bit to friendly" and he gave the others a look that told them to give the newcomer some space and allow her time to adjust.

“Please, where is my Chris?” Trixie asked the Silver One, “Why am I here alone?” The Silver One nuzzled Trixie gently, “It is not Chris’ time yet – when it is time you will know, you will meet here” “But where is ‘here’ and when will we meet? What am I to do until them?”, asked Trixie.

The Silver One eased Trixie out to find all eyes on her - all looking concerned - all glowing with love. “You are not alone - we are all here for you - we are family. Chris will join you, but not just yet. For now you will live here with us at Rainbow Bridge and when your Chris comes you will go together to heaven and be always together. For right now the rest will teach you how to visit and leave signs, and they will show you all around Rainbow Bridge. Shall I introduce you?” and as the Silver One led the way Trixie nodded and let the love and calm wash over her.
