林安:
好難過得知這個消息,一直以來我就是妳家三喵的粉絲.
其中我最愛的是阿點點,最愛他的帥(傻)氣和小肚肚上的那層油.
雖然我從沒機會見阿點點一面,但每次看到你生動的描述時,
我也總覺得他們就像是我的貓朋友一樣.
剛看到淚流滿面,真是十分傷感,去年的七月份,我心愛的小貓-天天
也因為腹膜炎離開了我,當我握著他的手,感覺到肉球逐漸冰冷時,我放聲大哭.
不過我必須要說的是,如果讓我再選擇一次,我也願意承受親眼看著他離開的痛苦,
起碼我知道我那時的陪伴,應該能給我們家的小貓一點點的溫暖.
最後附上那首很美的詩,獻給所有失去過心愛寵物的版友們.
也祝福點點和天天能從此幸福,無病無痛.
【Rainbow Bridge/彩虹橋原文】
This is a bridge connecting heaven and earth.
有一座橋連接天堂與人間
It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of it's many colors.
它有著繽紛的色彩,因此被稱做「彩虹橋」。
Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge there is a land of meadows,
hills and valleys with lush green grass.
就在彩虹橋這端有個地方,有著綿延的草原,以及綠草如茵的丘陵和山谷。
When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this place.
每當被人深愛的寵物死後,就會來到這個地方。
There is always food and water and warm spring weather.
這裡總有著不匱乏的食物、水和溫暖的春天。
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.
隨著時間慢慢流逝,當我們只能在夢中回憶他們的同時,
贏弱病老的動物再度年輕,受傷或殘疾的,也變得完整和強壯。
They play all day with each other. 他們整天陪伴著彼此遊戲玩耍。
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing:
they miss someone very special to them, who had left them behind.
他們過著快樂而滿足的生活,只有一件事除外:他們思念著某個對他們來說非常特別的人。
They all run and play together,
but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance.
他們總是在一起奔跑玩耍,但是會有一天,他們的其中一個會忽然停下遊戲
The bright eyes are intent; the eager body quivers.
Suddenly he begins to break away from the group,
flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
明亮的眼睛專注地望向遠方,身體熱切地顫抖著,
然後突然從玩伴群中跑開,飛奔過綠草地,越跑越快,越跑越快。
You have been seen, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again.
那是因為他看見你了,當你和你特別的朋友相遇,你們緊緊抱在一起,
沉浸在重逢的喜悅中,再也不會分開。
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,
快樂的吻像雨點般落在你的臉上
你的手再次撫摸著他可愛的小腦袋
你再度深深的注視著他忠實的雙眼
so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
他在你的生活中消失了這麼久,卻從未在你的心中缺席
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together, never again to be separated.
然後,你們會一起跨越彩虹橋,永遠不再分開
