This is beautiful - it reminds me of a book I read called 'The Truth in The Light' which about a doctors investigation into near death experiences. One story was a guy, who when his heart stopped, he had a vision that he went somewhere and all the dogs of his life came running to greet him!
I hope my kitty 'Mouse' (my avatar) is waiting there for me...as long as she's found lots of friends to be with until we meet again!
