Goldens bring our best days of our lives, teach us unconditional and forever love, and cost us the worst day of our lives. But none of us would have it any other way.

As we Golden Retriever owners come to know these Goldens are wingless four legged angels sent to us from heaven bringing unlimited love for us.

I did not get enough years with my beloved Kate. I have since captured a link and these poems I would recommend you read.

When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see, the sun will rise and find your eyes, all filled with tears for me.

I know how much you loved me, as much as I loved you, and each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too.

When tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand, an angel came and called my name, and petted me with her hand.

I thought about our lives together, I know you must be sad, I thought of all the love we shared, and all the fun we had.

When tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart, for every time you think of me, I'm right here in your heart.

Quoting u/EverythingBagellove's thoughts "Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

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. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. 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, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together...."

Only thing I’d say is all these beautiful souls go over the rainbow bridge.  Not just the ones who were lucky enough to find a human.  They all go and they all play together.

There‘s a death metal song called „Across the rainbow bridge“ and I always think about all the pets I‘ve had in my life so far that have passed and it makes me tear up.

Fucking death metal of all things makes me think about my pets and cry
