Do you notice????

[Janet]

Okay, we've been asked in another thread "if we could, of the people who have passed, would we want to see the most. SSSOOOO:

Have you notice if they do or send anything to let you know they are near?

I know without a doubt that my father sends butterflies around me. The land on me, hover around me and it makes my heart smile.

I dream about my husband. It's always when I'm stressed out or worried about something and in the dreams, he always calms me down and tells me he loves me and that I'll be OK. Each time, he tells me he has to go again and kisses me bye. When I wake up I can still feel his kiss.

janet and khardy 57- my hubby's baby brother died in a car accident right before my hubby got deployed for iraq. he had just turned 22. my mil says that he sends her pretty yellow butterflies in her yard every day no matter what time of the year because when he was little he used to love to sit in the back yard and watch the yellow butterflies with his mom...i believe that our loved ones will always send us signs of love even if they are in a place where we can't be with them.

I don't ever "see" things around me to remind me of my Grandmother. But...I see, feel, and hear things in my mind, if that makes any sense. My Mom always told me that my Grandma had a special gift of "knowing things" sorta say before they actually happened. At times, I do the same. So, I look at this as another thread in the "bond" that ties my Grandmother and I together.

It's special to me, not to mention almost completely impossible to explain.

The only "sign" I've ever seen with my own eyes was a purple bow which mysteriously laid in front of me on a table I was sitting at. The purple bow was worn by my Yorkie pup I had that recently passed. I was camping with a bunch of friends and we sat around the table playing cards one night. We stopped the game for like 5 minutes to say hello to some friends who walked up. I turned around back to the table to begin the card game again and there sat the purple bow. I thought my friends put it there and were playing a horrific joke on me yet they promised they weren't.

To this day I cannot explain how the purple bow ended up in front of me. A part of me will always be somewhat freaked out by it I guess. Later as time went on I stopped questioning it and just tried to have peace with it all.

I know exactly what you're referring to. You can't expain it to anyone who hasn't experienced it because you end up sounding like you're insane; yet to those of us who have had this kind of experience, it's magic to hear someone else tell about having it too.

The young man I told about in the 24 hr thread used to call me "mom". He had a wacky sense of humor and charm that always got people laughing. The day after he died I fell into an exhausted sleep on my couch and was startled awake by him bouncing on the couch like he had done so many times before to me... yelling "Mommy Mommy" like an excited toddler would.
Most would call it a dream, but I know I felt him bumping my legs. I went from a dead sleep to standing in a single jump. I and my kids have felt him around us occassionally since, but the week following his death was a steady stream of visits. He and my youngest were especially close, so she gets visits from him often. Since his death when she gets her picture taken there are orbs floating near her head in them. She's convinced it's Dustin watching over her.

Man, I can't believe I'm telling about this!

The only thing I can relate to my dad is time. No matter what I'm doing, at least once a week, I'm "drawn" to look at the clock. And each time, it shows 6:17....my dad passed away at 6:17 in the evening. I've had dreams in the past where I walk into a restaurant to meet my mom for dinner and she's already seated at the table - with my dad! And I'm reminded of him each and every time I see a frog, especially if it's sitting on the back porch by the door when I walk outside - like it wants to jump in my house! He HATED those things with a passion and has passed that "hate" along to me - I can't stand them! Give me spiders, snakes, even roaches but a frog - I will hurt you!
