I took a cup of dry food and I opened the door.AS i opened the door...I heard another meow! Sitting on the chair was a little kitten....and I could tell that it wasnt from any of my cats.The kitten was all white and it has blue eyes.It was meowing
so I decided to feed it..i put the food down and this kitten eat 3 bowls .She was really hungry.Then after she eat...she licked my face and hand.Then she jumped out and into the street.She ran across the street because something frigtened her.It is saturday.I asked about the kitten..THERE HAVE BEEN NO KITTENS ON THETHIS BLOCK FOR ONE YEAR.......WHAT DOES IT MEAN/AM I GOING CRAZY///WHOSE CAT WAS IT///NOONE KN OWS...MY NEIGHBORS HAVE PIT BULLS AND GERMAN SHEPARDS BUT CO CATS...AND i DONT KNOW WHAT TO SAY OR DO...NOONE BELIEVES ME ABOUT THIS KITTEN.i SAW IT...IT IS REAL.DO YOU THINK BRAD HAS SENT ME A SIGN LIKE HE PROMISED/

" I believe that, yes, that little white kitten is a gift from Brad. These gifts are fleeting, but powerful reminders that our loved ones are still with us giving us comfort. I have experienced similar gifts as well. Good for you and that lucky little kitten :) !!
Best,
Judy "

" Yes I believe you have recieved a sign . Sometimes I thinkthese kinds of signs come to us in our waking hours , sometimes they come in dreams. I have had some strange experiences with the alarm clock going off in my sons room the same time every am 0610 several days after he died it kept going off like that even though we kept turning off the alarm.I dont know what it means though Maybe somedaywe wil get the answers "

" what a sweet sign. I think he is telling you he made it wherever he is going.

I have had strange signs too. It does not matter if others believe you - you know they are true, that is all that matters "

" Absolutly, I believe this was a sign from Brad. I think he's letting you know he's ok. It was 8 days after PJ commited suicide and I had gone to town to mail some packages, when I got home there was a message on my answering machine. I couldn't believe what I heard and had to listen to it like 20 times and at top volume, and it said "hey mom", that's how PJ used to answer me when I would call him! So believe, they are with us and do find ways of letting us know. I'm so happy for you and keep looking, you'll find them.
Love, Bev "

" Yes, definitely believe that it is a sign from Brad to let you know he is still with you & watching over you. My husband died in July of 2007. We always had hummingbird feeders but didn't see any in the summer, saw them in the fall. The next day after he died, I got up that morning and while putting coffee on, I happened to glance at the feeders, and there was a hummingbird. I have had other little signs that he is still stopping by to check on me. Seems they all involve birds. He was a big bird lover. So, I will tell you to believe and don't let anyone tell you any different!!
If you ever need to talk, send me a message.

" Wish I could feel so sure as you do - about my Mom. I've had two experiences of "scent" in her bedroom (now mine). The second time (a few weeks ago) was her dusting powder, which is still in the room but never used. I smelled it twice - once during the night when I called out, "is that you Mama?" - the second time lasted awhile. I kept trying to justify the how's and why's of it all. But knowing Mama, I'm not sure if she wouldn't give me something more solid to know if she were there.

I hope this gave you peace. That little kitten was more than grateful for your kindness - and unafraid to acknowledge it. "

" No matter what people tell you, believe your instinct. Mine was during the hurricane of 2004,I was all alone in a flooded house. I had to put all familynalbums in a top shelf in the garage. There was no way I could do it by myself. Tool heavy stuff and I have problem with my left arm. Surprisingly, I did it like someone helping me put them all up on the top shelf. I suddenly remembered my son who used to help me a lot with heavy housework.I was sure he was with me. "
