On the Saturday before the accident, Ian had come to visit. My husband, myself, and Ian were sitting on our patio visiting. My husband pointed out that there was a bluebird on the wire right in front of where we sat. Because it was early June, I asked shouldn't there be a pair of bluebirds? Is that a male or female bluebird? And most importantly, have either on of you ever seen a bluebird here? We always feed the birds but all agreed that we had never seen a bluebird. Ian got up, went in the house and came back out with our birdbook and began looking up bluebirds to try to answer my questions.
I should tell you that for years there have been a pair of bluebirds sitting on the TV in our kitchen and the whole time Ian was growing up he would sit probably too close to that TV and eat. I also had bluebirds on my kitchen window sill. I liked bluebirds.
I should also tell you that a couple years prior to Ian's death a good friend of his was killed in a work related accident. I did not know at the time but his family had a bluebird at their house the days following Josh's death.
The accident was early the following Saturday morning. On Sunday morning I said to my husband, I really need a sign, I need to know Ian is ok. Within a few minutes my husband came and got me to go outside with him. There on the wire sat two bluebirds.
That day and the next we saw the pair. I will always believe the first one we saw was Josh's bluebird and was here to accompany Ian. Seeing the two birds was perhaps nothing more than seeing two bluebirds. But to me it was the sign I needed to know that my son was safe. The cemetery where Ian is buried is VERY close to our home and the last time we say the pair of bluebirds fly away they flew right over the cemetery.
Call it what you want, but for me it is happenings such as this that give me peace.

How wonderful! I believe that there ARE signs from our children...we just have to be receptive to them. I "logical" mind tell us they are just bluebirds, our heart tells us it is from Ian. Just believe and smile while you believe. Love and hugs...Karen

I totally believe your story. The bluebirds were a spiritual sign from Ian telling you that he had made it to spirit and that he is okay.

I too, believe in signs. Before My PJ took his life, I used to scuff the top of his head and call him a turkey! The day my other 2 sons and I were at the cememtary, to take PJ to the crematorium, we were standing outside and I looked and saw 1 lone turkey, now usually you see several, he was totally alone! My oldest son walked over to it and it just stood there looking at my oldest, and that's not normal either, usually they take off, so yes I believe in signs, that was PJ letting us know he was ok. Take heart, they are still with us, just in a different way. Love and hugs, Bev

I read a book called "One Last Time" by John Edwards. He talks about that vary thing. You might like it. I really believe that also. My dad pasted away years ago. I still ask him for a sign when I need help..It isn't always what I want but it always works out one way or another. A few months back I had to have an MRI. I am severely closterphobic. Even with the open side and a valium. I was crying, scared and held my partners hand. They let me have earphones for music,,,,as they slid me in I started to feel panick..well there is a song "Lean On Me" that I always have sang or thought of him as if he were singing it. THAT VERY SONG CAME ON RIGHT THEN AND THERE. I just got a calm feeling all over and listened to it, even smiled. I so believe that when we need them, they will let us know their there. Always talk to your bluebird! Blessings.

I believe what Karen says...your heart is telling you about these signs....it is a nice thing to feel our children are soothing us with their spirits. God be with you as you deal with your loss. Love and peace for you today...Dale, Brandon's Mom

That would certainly give me peace if I was struggling with the loss of one of my children. A sign - yes. Believe it and let it comfort you. I will think of you the next time I see a bluebird. I'll say HI to IAN.

One of the last things Max did for me before he died was to hang a hummingbird feeder. I had always wanted one and had no idea whether we had hummers in our area. Two weeks later, Max had his accident. In that time, I had not seen one hummingbird. You see it coming! The day after Max died, I looked up at the feeder and there was the first hummingbird at our feeder. I KNOW it was a sign from Max that he was fine! Believe! It helps.

What a beautiful story and I believe strongly that if we are aware and in the present moment the signs are there. I am sure this has brought you and will continue to bring you peace. Thank you so much for sharing. Hugs, Joanie

Below is the answer to most problems. Here is my answer.

What an awe inspiring story! Our God is an amazing God, and he deals with each of us differently according to our needs. I needed that same sign that you did, that everything was "Ok." What I got was to actually hear my son's voice saying, "Hi mom, it's me, Mike. I just wanted to let you know that I love you, and that I'm in Heaven and I'm OK. I'm here with Jesus and he wants you to know that he loves you. " I would have thought it was just my subconscious making it all up, except if i'd have been conducting the conversation, I would have ended it after "and I'm Ok." The second sentence really blew me out of the water. Not because I didn't expect him to be with Jesus, but to get individual personal time with him (even though it probably only lasted for a few seconds I suppose) just seemed too much to expect. I've had a couple of other similar experiences of hearing his voice since then, and so has my daughter, but that was my most vivid one. I did have one interesting dream that I felt was an effort at communication between Mike and me. I dreamed that Mike sent me an email from Heaven. But somehow I was able to discuss this with him. I saw him sitting on a cloud, wearing his angle wings. The content of the email had something to do with him telling me I should not be so depressed about his death. For some reason I didn't discuss his death or my sadness about it with him. Rather , I asked him how he was able to send an email from Heaven? "Easy!" he said. "I just think the thought, and God pushes the send button." Somehow, that seemed like a very profound statement, and I woke up feeling at peace that somehow Mike still finds ways to communicate with me. I think our childrens' spirits are all around us...

I read what you wrote and I simply say AWWWW! I sometimes stop in my tracks when I hear Ian say "yeah mom" usually that is all I hear, but sometimes he says the simpiest thing which means so much!! Never quit listening.
