I Believe...Always Have.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi ladiesl, something happened today and I wanted to share it with you.

My dad passed away in 1974, quite a long time ago. I have always thought that he has sent me butterflies. When I'm down and I need him, or when I'm thinking of him, either real, pictures, ornaments something, always something with butterflies appear. I think I've mentioned it before.

My dad was one who sat in the yard and could always find a four-leaf clover. Never took him no time at all once he looked to the ground and then he'd pick one out of a bunch of clover.

Tonight, I took the doggies out and while sitting in a lawn chair, I noticed a bunch of clover that I didn't recall being there. I started talking to my little Joey, I said "Joey, my daddy could always find four-leaf clovers." I then moved my fingers through the clover and out popped a four-leaf clover. Oh did the tears fall.

I walked in the house to show my husband, because I had never found one ever in my life. He asked me if I remembered how my dad could always find them. I told him about me telling Joey..about my dad and how the four-leaf clover just popped out. His mouth just dropped open. He said Dad must be near.

I am so missing my dad tonight. I just wanted to share this with you all.

Oh Janet,
What a sweet heart warming story! I know you miss your dad, but he is right there with you - I just know it and so do you! I do remember your telling about your dad and butterflies! What a wonderful connection you have with him!

Janet I got the goose bumps reading your thread. Yes I also remember you talking about the butterflies and your dad. I agree he came to visit, and what a wonderful feeling was that... Smile for your dad is your guardian angel.

It truly was an amazing experience. It also brought back so many memories during the evening too. Gave me lots to think about and it just made me feel so good.

How wonderful! A visit from your Dad must have been lovely. I always feel like I can talk to my Dad and he'll hear me. Like he's always in the background watching out for me, just like when he was alive.

I used to feel I got visits from him quite often, but then they kind of tapered off. This experience was just the best....out of no where and I just knew my dad was near.
