Heaven

Hi,

I want to add that like Lainy, I believe.  Part of me questions why good people have to suffer so much, and why would a God put people and their families through so much pain BUT believing there is a Heaven is helping me.

Before Dad passed away he too was having conversations with loved ones that had passed.  2 hours before he passed away he sat upright desperate to get to the corner of the room.  After that he said "I'm coming" previously he had been saying "I'm not ready yet".  From the Wednesday before he passed on the Saturday, Mom and I had been experiencing periods of coldness, like we were being wrapped in a blanket of coldness.  This got stronger from the Friday and we really do believe that it was the presence of relatives that had passed away.

On the morning of Dads funeral I smelt his aftershave whilst washing up in the kitchen, it was so strong, almost as though he was standing next to me.

A few days after Dads funeral, I saw an orb on the upstairs landing outside my sons bedroom, I like to think this was my Dad watching out for my son who has been having a difficult time lately.

I like to think Dad is now with relatives and friends who have passed away, catching up on old times and looking over us until we are all together again.

Perhaps orb was the wrong word to use but it was like a ball of light, hovering on the ground outside my sons bedroom door.  The landing was in darkness, as I didn't want to wake my husband and son by putting  the lights on.  All doors were shut so nothing could have reflected to cause this light.  For a second I froze on the spot and felt my heart racing, after a few second it went.  My son had been having a really hard time with Dads death and I like to think it was Dad paying him a visit.

Lainy, it really took my breathe away when I saw it.  I haven't had anything like it since but will definatley look out for objects in our future photos.

My Mom often used to see 1 star in the sky, which she said was my Grandad, and she said to my Dad, when you reach your next journey let me know you are there by shining in the sky.  A few nights ago when Mom was looking out the window 2 stars were shining bright next to each other.  She hasn't seen it since.

Also on 3 occasions when Mom hasn't locked up properly she has heard a noise which has made her go downstairs, hence discovering a door is unlocked. I'm convinced this is also my Dad telling her to lock up properly. as he was always worried she wouldn't when he was in hospital!  Luckily it's not the main door she is forgetting to lock but still a door enough to worry Dad.

My husband keeps finding 5 pences in the strangest of places (pity it is not

My daughter had a unique experience today that she says was her dad. She has a picture of her dad and me on her desk. Every time she walked in the room, the pictures were knocked over. She called her brother in the room and said, "Watch, I can hit this desk as hard as I can and the picture won't fall over." She hit the desk and nothing. But several times the picture was down. Then somehow the picture became just of her dad. She thinks Dad was playing with her and saying hi. He was such a tease.

My mother-in-law passed away on March 15, 2011 and my younger daughter was at home with her husband and her 16 month old son. About 20 minutes after Grandma passed, little Noah was staring over by the refrigerator. His dad said, "Buddy, what you are looking at? You are freakin' me out." We believe that Grandma stopped on her way out to look in on her favorite granddaughter and her great-grandson.

Keep on believing and watching for the miraculous.

Congratulations! What an encouragement. Yes, we carry our loved ones in our hearts and those memories bring us comfort and strength.
