Rusty's Rainbow

Two years ago Rich lost a very dear pet. Rusty was a friendly and loyal golden retriever who lived his whole life to chase tennis balls. The day Rich found out that Rusty had died, he was driving to an appointment and the skies were dark and rain filled. When he finally arrived to his destination after hearing the sad news, he looked into the sky and noticed not one, but TWO beautiful rainbows sitting side by side. A double rainbow!

Rich knew that it was Rusty telling him that he was okay. From that day forward, when Rich or I see a rainbow, we know Rusty is saying hello and telling us he is okay. It is our way of honoring him and remembering him in our hearts. This past weekend, we were honored to see a rainbow in our neighborhood hanging high over the mountains. We smiled and said "hello, Rusty."
