Welcome to Moke's Rainbow Residency

Memories of Moke

THE STORY OF A MAN NAMED MOKE; Moke was a gift from Heaven & we believe he was a fallen angel to help us understand what PURE LOVE is all about. At first we were blind about this pure love, but we now fully understand what God mean't by blessing us with our baby boy named Moke. Moke is pronounced MOE-KEY. My wife found him 11-03-10 in the road one Sunday on the way home, and thought it was a glove in the road. Then she realized it moved and was a baby kitten that transended to earth to enter our lives. She tried to get at it as it moved in the field and out of the road, but then he climbed a tree out of fear. My wife then drove a block home to get her tennis shoes as she needed to climb up the tree a bit. When she returned, Moke was waiting her arrival and she brought him home. We put up our Labrador's cage in the garage & I turned on the garage heater to bring him warmth until we could find out if he was free of disease or illness that could affect our other cat Hilo. He checked out fine and we gave him all of his shots and made him our child & welcomed him into our home. It was only a week before we introduced him to our British Red Fox Labrador [Kona] & our British Shorthair cat [Hilo]. They all got along immediately and this was another sign that Moke was here on earth for a purpose & reason that we could not comprehend at that time. He grew into a beautiful cat that we believe is a Russian Blue breed. His coat of Gun Metal Blue was beautiful to look at and feel. He had the most incredible amount of Love to offer us and always sat on my wife's lap when ever she would sit & watch TV or read a book. He was a Momma's Boy for sure. We nick named him "Moke Man" for some reason & we don't really know why. We bought him a Green color with diamond trim down the middle to match is Diamond Green eyes. His eyes were mesmerizing to say the least. He would look at you directly into your eyes and not look away, as if he were looking into our souls. We could feel his Love through his eyes & how he looked into our hearts. It's as if he were trying to heal our own broken hearts. He would sleep with my wife & take naps on her lap all the time. We also nick named him the "Blanket Man" as he always found great comfort in blankets. He would also crawl into my wifes jacket or sweater and turn around and look out, but would lay there close to her heart. Moke would always find us through out our 3 story home and hang out with us. He was not the biggst play cat by any means, but this is probably due to his purpose & mission in life that was ahead. His purpose was much bigger than we could ever imagine, just like Jesus was here for a very short time to do his work & return to heaven after leaving his message & impressions. We did not know that Moke would only be here for less than 13 months, but now we cherish each and every memory of him throughout his short little life. He bonded with my Labrador [Kona] and slept on the bed with her & would put his body up next to Kona for warmth and/or because of a stronger connection that we cannot fully understand. Kona would always give way to Moke & would be so gentle to him. Only God could have designed this entire plan as we now know. My wife had always wanted a British Short Hair cat that was bred professionally and she found a Vet in Arkansas that did just that and we soon had a new born named [Liko], pronounced Lee-Ko. Ths happened in February of 2011. Liko is also a blessing, because his mom was not supposed to have another litter professionally for another year or so, but mom sneaked out and found dad, and low and behold, here comes Liko. What was amazing, is that Liko was the only cat in that pregnancy. Wow! Liko was the play cat and would encourage Moke to play, but Moke was on a Mission, as his will on earth was predetermined & precise. Moke was a lover of God's sunshine & would always find a spot of sunshine in the home, even if it was on the stair case. He was so Stealth in color that you would have to always turn on the light before heading down or up the stairs. I began to bond with little Moke over the summer and he would sleep on my right hand drawer of my desk, as long as I pulled it out and ended up leaving towels there full time due to how much he loved being with me as I worked out of my home. He would also walk around my laptop and want to head but me for attention & love. I always caved in, as my work productivity was diminished greatly, but I did not care for some reason. The love that an animal gives and offers 24/7 is nothing to ignore or pass up. I accepted all of his love anytime, as I always gave him back my heart full of love. I had to split up my love equally to our 4 legged kids due to my ever loving Labrador & our new British Shorthair. Not easy to do, but I managed. I have never felt so loved in my life as an individual and never have I ever cared for anything in life as I have with these loved ones. I am truly learning the meaning of LOVE in many ways that I never thought were possible. I am hoping to transfer this love to my heart in a way that allows me to offer a pure form of love to all living creatures, including family, friends, & strangers. I have a collar tag that I now keep with me to remind me of Moke on a daily basis even though I would not need any reminder other than the imprint Moke made in my mind, body, spirit, and heart! This collar tag say's "Moke is My Name" & on the back is " If found, call my parents" with our phone numbers on it. I cannot believe that he is not with us any longer, but am now realizing that his purpose was fulfilled & he did his job on this earth. I now believe that he is truly in Rainbow Bridge awaiting our departure from this earth and our reunion together before we enter Heaven. I have found several items within RaindowBridge.com that brought huge awareness to me about the TRUTH about where our pets go after death. It is crystal clear to me that God has pre-determined that we all are going together to heaven, creatures & humans alike. To prove the TRUTH see the following document truths at the end of this testimony. Hopefully they will offer you answers to questions that you may have as I also had and now have answered. This gave me much peace & joy knowing the TRUTH. Not to make you sad or cry about what happened to Moke, but I will explain in a short story, as I know that you too may have lost a loved one and the causes are many and sometimes unexplainable, just like this event. Early this summer of 2011 we noticed that our Moke was throwing up every other day or sometimes every day. We thought it was somewhat normal, as many of my friends said their cats throw up every day too. I was blinded by this advice and did not think to take him into the doctor for xrays. He began to lose weight and then would gain, then lose and then gain. We thought it was his food and we tried other foods to see if this was the problem. He always had a great hunger after this all began. One day in October, I asked my wife to take Moke to the hospital for xrays. They did a ultra sound on Moke and found a Mass the size ofa golf ball and Moke was only 5 pounds anyway, so this was very serious. My wife called me to meet her at the hospital and I then took him to my favorite choice of surgeons at Mission Med Vet where my labrador had 2 successful surgeries on her back two knees. They also did an xray & another ultra sound on 10-12-11 & confirmed the mass was there in an area of the mesentary, which was the worst news possible. The mass could not be removed and they only could cut it open and drain it & flush it out. They sent out 6 biopsies & all were confirmed to be benign, exept the biopsy of the mass was not sent to the right facility and consequently we had no results of this mass. Now in hind sight, I realize that it was of no concern, because Moke's intestines were all tangled & attached to the omentum, which supports the intestines & holds them up. Moke was doomed from the beginning and we don't know why other than now realizing that his purpose here on earth was destined & to be fullfilled within a short time frame. Because of this condition, Moke was unable to gain weight and it became more difficult for him to eat, as the intestines pushed the food back into the stomach and eventually back up the throat. This was a serious condition that only God could heal & now Moke has a new body with NO illness or disease. Hurray for that! Moke was such a fighter to stay alive, that I was so confident that he would make it in the long run because of my increased HOPE & FAITH. I now know that he fought to stay alive because we were not ready to let him go, and God gave us that blessed opportunity to see him and love on him more before we truly said our goodbyes. We brought him home from the hospital 3 days after the surgery and he surprised all the surgeons & nursing staff. This gave me new HOPE. I had total FAITH that he would make it and come home, as I talked to him and rubbed him each night after surgery at the hospital ICR through an incubator. I really bonded with him & his little eyes could see me and eventually he tried to speak to me. This made me cry with happiness, as I could see that we as humans do have a connection with our animals above and beyond what science or others would say. I would not trade that experience for anything in the world. It was a moment of my increased FAITH & HOPE and my time to learn to LOVE at a whole new level. We fed him daily even by hand if necessary for 2 weeks and he did not throw up once. This gave me more HOPE. Then on November 1st, the began to throw up for 10 straight days & we took him to our normal vet and Dr. Martin gave us the opportunity to treat him with medicine and she also believed that we wanted to do everything possible to save his life. This worked for 10 more days until and he began to eat like a king, almost a full can a day. Then on 11-20-11 & Moke began to throw up violently & I thought he was asperating. We took him to Mission Med Vet to say our good byes that Sunday night as we believed that we did not want him to suffer, but left a message for Dr. Lineberger to look at him first before putting him to sleep. He called us and told us that he would keep him 2-3 days to monitor him & give us his best evalation. This also gave me more Hope! We spoke on 11-23-11, the day before Thanksgiving, and we were told that Mission Med Vet would be able to give my wife and I a break from this emotional roller coaster and keep him until Monday, 11-28-11. I then spoke to Dr. Lineberger and he said that Moke had gained some weight & was as lively as ever. Again, my HOPE was at an all time high. I then had a conference call with my wife and we decided to put him to sleep because this appeared to be a life long event that Moke might have to go through and we did not want him to suffer. I asked to see him that night before putting him to sleep and went to the ICU to spend time with him. They brought him in a private room for me and I talked to him, rubbed on him, and kissed him. He climbed all over me, the chairs, the counters and meowed loudly like he was hungary. I took some small pellets of AD food with me and gave him 25 of them approximately and he looked fine. A few minutes later, he began to throw up violently the same way as he did before, so that confirmed with me that he is still suffering & will continue to suffer. Even though he had a couple of minutes of suffering each day, I still wanted him to enjoy the other 1438 minutes a day. But my better judgement kicked in and I realized that he will not gain weight & he would eventually need daily attention that I could not provide him, so I made my final decision on the morning of November 29th, 2011 to give his life to God & allow him to go to the Rainbow Bridge. I was very sad and cried my eyes out in a closet, but knew that we made the right decision overall. I still think to myself that maybe I should have given him 3 months or 6 months of daily care, but I also have a life that needs me to provide an income and this was just too much for me in the long run. I did not mind a couple of months, but what if he did not improve, then I would be back to square one. I prayed daily several times a day and learned to have detailed conversatioins with God about Moke and what I should do. I will never forget how much he loved us and how we loved him. His eye to eye contact into our hearts & soul was absolutely amazing & breath taking. Dear Moke, thank you so much for your mission here on earth to love us and teach us to increase our LOVE, FAITH, HOPE, & how to pray more to God. This lesson is the most valuable lesson that I have learned in 52 years. Moke, thank you for fighting longer for me to love you more and to solidify the bond between us. We will always be indebted to you and always remember you throughout our lives. We will silently pray to you often and every time we see a Rainbow, we will know that you are looking upon us and wishing us well until we can meet again. We love you MOKE & are happy that you are pain free, have new body organs, and have God to watch you and protect you with all of the other creatures that He has brought back home. I promise you Moke that your teachings that you left with us will not go unnoticed and I promise you that I will begin a new life with a new outlook and I will tell your story often so others can learn to LOVE without conditions. May God hold you tightly during your travels & may you know that you have successfully imprinted into our hearts, minds, body, and hearts. Thank you MOKE...............xoxoxoxo PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING & may you find the TRUTH: "Bible Truth about Animals in Heaven" The soul perceives, thinks, feels, and makes decisions and choices. In man, the soul can also cause sin. God gave man the choice to choose sin or righteousness, to worship himself or God. The lesser animals were not given this choice. God put them under the protection and dominion of man. Genesis 9:8-16 "...Thus also said God to Noe (Noah), and to his sons with him, behold, I establish my covenant with you and with your seed after you; And with every living soul that is with you, as well in all birds as in cattle and beasts of the earth, that are come forth out of the ark, I will establish my covenant with you, and all flesh shall be no more destroyed with the waters of a flood. And God said: This is the sign of the covenant which I give between me and you, and to every living soul that is with you, for perpetual generations. And I will remember my covenant with you, and with every living soul that beareth flesh: and there shall no more be waters of a flood to destroy all flesh. And the bow shall be in the clouds, and I shall see it, and shall remember the everlasting covenant that was made between God and every living soul of all flesh which is upon the earth." Genesis : 9, 13-17 The same fate awaits man and animals alike. I have set My rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between Me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth." So God said to Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant I have established between Me and all life on the earth." (Ecclesiastes 3:18-21 TEV) "I decided that God is testing us, to show us that we are no better than animals. After all, the same fate awaits man and animals alike. One dies just like the other. They are the same kind of creature. A human being is no better off than an animal, because life has no meaning for either. They are both going to the same place -- the dust. They both came from it; they will both go back to it. How can anyone be sure that a man's spirit goes upward while an animal's spirit goes down into the ground?" Proverbs 12:10 "A righteous man cares for the needs of his animal." Psalms 50:10-11 "Every animal of the forest is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills. I know every bird in the mountains, and the creatures of the field are mine." Psalm 145:-9-10,13,15-21 AMP Though all creatures are subject to man's cruelty, God loves all His creation and has made plans for all His children and the lesser creatures to enjoy His eternal Kingdom. Job 12:7-10 "Ask the animals, and they will teach you." Romans 8:19 (KJV) The lesser creatures await Christ's return to redeem the sons of God so they, too, will be released from physical death to eternal life. Romans 8:21-22 KJV Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. Revelation 5:8-13 All creatures recognize Jesus as the Savior of the world and praise God right along with redeemed men. Revelation 5:13 "And EVERY creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and ALL that are in them, hear I saying, "Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, be unto Him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the lamb forever and ever." 11-04-11 Moke, I just finished crying again and found a star in the south that i named after you. I was crying and my sleeping Labrador [Kona] awoke to comfort me & immediately took me to the back yard and I began crying again & found your star. I cried until my feet became frozen & had to go inside. I know that you are there up in the sky & I will listen for your meow & for your soft paws to touch my arm or face while I sleep. I miss you so much already and need your comfort now more than ever. My baby boy, I can see your eyes look into my heart & soul. Enjoy your new body Moke Man & become the cat that you were in the beginning. Enjoy the meadows & know that you are in my heart forever until we meet again. I love you so much Moke......Love always, Brian xoxoxoxo
