Subject: Missing you.

A strange thing happened to me today that I wanted to share with you ladies. I am a grown woman in my 50's. My mother passed away two years ago and we were very close. I have missed her terribly. Today, I was feeding my 1 year old granddaughter and wishing mom could have known her. Got to thinking about the river of life and how I should stop pining for what was and think and enjoy what is and will be. One is gone but a new one is here and yes we can be close and another bond will grow hopefully. I felt so much better after coming to that conclusion. Then I happened and this is absolutely true, I looked down at my shirt and there over my heart was a real miniature dragonfly. It was green with translucent beautiful wings about the size of my thumbnail. I gently picked it up an it must have been dead.
I don't know how it got there. I put it on a shelf and when my DD got home to pick up the baby I told her and carefully picked up the dragonfly to show her and it was alive! Of course I let it go outside but what a sign of a miracle.

[> Oh, this is a beautiful story! Thank you for telling us! I also have these moments about my mother. I feel closest to her when I'm in a department store, as she was a shop-till-you-drop person. That's when I feel mom's spirit nearby, as I did today in Macy's. Your story reminds me of the scene in "Love Is A Many Splendoured Thing" where Jennifer Jones is sitting on the hilltop, after William Holden dies, and the butterfly lights briefly on her shoulder. She visualizes him walking up the hill to her. In the next moment he has vanished. ((((Lady Elizabeth.)))) -- Lemora, 23:26:28 06/12/12 Tue

[> [> I just remembered: "The Orphaned Adult: Understanding And Coping With Grief And Change After The Death Of Our Parents" by Alexander Levy has some powerful stories about animal visitations when someone has died. -- Lemora, 22:21:55 06/17/12 Sun

[> I am deeply convinced, those things happen on purpose. God - or whatever you like to believe in - gives us these moments to stop and think; telling us that there is hope and all is/will be well. Everything that happens in our lives - even or rather especially the bad things - will turn out to be part of something even greater/even better. I strongly believe in that and it kept me from being desperate more than once in my live. -- Oatcake, 01:03:52 06/13/12 Wed

[> I had a similar thing happen to me. My Mom died suddenly one year ago. When we were cleaning out her house a dragonfly was buzzing around the discarded items and wouldnt leave. I said something to my sister like "Mom is here and not happy that we are throwing out her things." Flash a number of months later, I am in the ocean in Aruba, thinking how much my Mom would have loved the warm water here, and out of no where a dragonfly buzzes by me. I looked up to sky and smiled. I never really noticed dragonflies before...but i see them all the time now...and they comfort me. -- CarolSR, 06:28:26 06/13/12 Wed

[> [> When I was cleaning out my parents' house, I kept wondering about "signs," as mom would've been deeply distressed about it all. I half expected her ghost to take everything out of the driveway, awaiting the Salvation Army truck, and put it all back in the house while I was asleep. But, I definitely feel her spirit has moved on. She was at peace, and done with life here on earth. Two psychic friends were very firm that her presence was nowhere around the house, or on the earthly plane. -- Lemora, 07:56:02 06/13/12 Wed

[> [> CarolSR, I forgot to say "thank you" for telling us about the dragon flies. These are very beautiful reminders. Hearing stories like this reminds me to be on the lookout for any signs from departed loved ones. (About a year ago, I was driving on an unfamiliar street. All of a sudden, I found myself in front of the building that used to be an art gallery and loft owned by a dear friend who died a week after my father did, in 2010. I said, "Hello Janette," and drove on.) -- Lemora, 08:01:52 06/13/12 Wed

[> An older couple I know had two grandchildren - the eldest, a boy who had cerebral palsy and he died at age 6. His younger sister posed a few months after her brother's death with her grandparents (i.e. the older couple I know) in a photo taken outside in their garden. After the photo was taken and they looked at it on the computer, they could see a white butterfly in the shot with them and their grand-daughter and they are CONVINCED that it was their grandson Ethan who didn't want to be left out! -- Leigh, 23:09:57 06/14/12 Thu

[> a while back someone posted a link to a website that explained symbolism of different animals and insects....it stated that sme Native American tribes viewed dragonflies as souls of the dead.... -- Colly, 19:31:03 06/15/12 Fri
