Real Life Rainbow Bridge Stories

I recently lost my precious Maine Coon cat Bo. He was only 4 years old but had developed a nasty cancer in his nose. We tried every treatment available but we just couldn't save him. I held his beautiful big paws as he was put to sleep and it broke my heart.

I missed him with an ache so debilitating that I just could not cope. Despite my Christian faith I found myself agonising over where he was. Had he gone to heaven or was he just gone forever? I could not contemplate the latter. I came across the Rainbow Bridge story and it gave me great comfort to imagine him there waiting for me.

On a particularly bad day I was walking with my baby in the pram. It was a beautiful day and I fought back tears as I remembered how Bo had so loved to walk with me in the sunshine (he was more like a dog than a cat). To my left was a ditch at the side of the path with water flowing underneath. To my amazement, there above the water was a cat sat balanced on a log that was like a bridge across the ditch. I walked this path every day and had never seen a cat there, let a lone in such a precarious position. A sense of peace flooded over me and I wondered whether this was a sign.

When I got home I prayed to God and thanked him for this sign. I asked him to show me more to take away any doubt. I believe my prayer was answered. The following day I saw a rainbow in the sky. The day after I saw another rainbow in the sky. Significantly, the second one marked exactly a week to the minute since Bo passed away. That evening my baby developed a strange rash that kept appearing and disappearing in different places on her body. As I got her dressed for bed it appeared on her arm in the perfect shape of a rainbow. This is the absolute truth and I will try to attach photos to prove it.

Just yesterday I saw two more rainbows within a few hours of one another. The second one this time marking 5 weeks to the minute since he passed away.

My doubt has been taken away. The good Lord has shown me that he has indeed prepared a place for our precious animal companions. My Bo is waiting for me and I will be reunited with him when the time comes. I really hope this story finds somebody who really needs to hear this hope.
