Hello Everyone,
I wanted to share an experience I had recently where I feel I have seen proof that there are angels, and our loved ones are still with us. I lost my first born at 37 weeks gestation, that was in 2000. I have since had 2 beautiful children. I lost my mother in February of this year.
On Sunday I took my children (ages 4 & 5) to a nice peaceful place. It's a bird sanctuary and it's a well kept secret in my neck of the woods. When we go it's never a busy place, maybe a few bird watchers and/or a few hikers. My children have come to love the stream that's deep in the woods, and we went because my son wanted to go to the "bird place."
Well, we got there in the early afternoon. Like I said it's kinda deep in the woods so there're mostly trees around us, but there was one ray of sunlight shining on the stream. My children took of their shoes and started hopping rocks, I decided to capture the moment with my camera phone, which I seldom use. Although I could see my daughter clear as day, when I looked through the lens there was a very strong glare. I decided to take the picture anyway, with the glare it looked like a fairy. I thought it seemed to resemble the presence of an angel, so I decided to send a copy to my step mother. Mind you, I was thinking the angel was my mother. When I got home I showed the pic to my hub, who also said there must have been "someone behind her."
Later, my step mom called me and asked if I had a zoom feature on my camera phone, which I do not. She then told me that when she zoomed into my daughter's face, there was a very clear image of a baby's face under hers. I shared that with my husband and I told him I had thought the angel was my mother, but it must have been Wesley. He told me that's who he meant by someone behind her; that Wesley's brother and sister were playing and having fun and he wanted to play with them.
Well tonight I saw my step mom and she showed me what she was talking about, it was unreal. There was a baby's face and it wasn't my daughter's or my younger son's, it had to be Wesley. I've always believed in angels, but this was absolutely amazing. That must have been why my son asked to go to the bird place out of the blue, we hadn't been there in at least a month.
I hope anyone reading this will find my story enjoyable. If not I'm sorry but I'd rather only hear positive feedback for this.
Thank you.

Thank you for sharing that.
you have made me smile for a moment, thanks
When my son was about 9yrs old I heard him talking to someone in his bedroom,when I asked him the next morning who he had been talking to he told me with no surprise at all on his face"his sister of course" he said she often came and talked to him at night.I asked him why she never went to see his other sister in her room,he replied"she doesn't want to frighten her mum because she never knew her".He was 22months old when she died.
Many times he has had near disaster accidents and many times he has told me someone else saved him,like when he was on his bikeand lost control and was heading for a wall, he felt someone take control of the bike handles and swerve it so he missed the wall .Many many times he has told me she has interfined when he was in danger.She was 4 and a half years old and he was 22 months old when she died.They where incredibly close and adored each other.I BELIEVE.I have never spoken of this before to any one but my son.
Once when my daughter was about 2 and a half she and I had gone shopping all around one morning. I'd bought her a number of little toys/trinkets she wanted until we were about to leave for home, she asked for another stuffed toy and I told her no. When we got to the bottom of the escalator I stepped off and turned around for her, she gave me an angry/defiant look and sat down, I dropped my pkgs and lunged for her as I watched her hand moving toward danger. I swear I grabbed her other arm to yank her up just as she was pinched by the floor. It wasn't enough to maime her but it was enough to scare her. I swear her brother must have grabbed her arm one split second b4 I did. I saw 2 teenage girls coming down behind us and they both had a mortified look on their faces, like they'd just seen a ghost.
The next was 2 years later when my other son was about 2 and a half (I never actually made that connection until now). We were in a swimming pool at a campground and I was standing in the pool near the steps, talking to my husband. When we were done with what we were talking about I turned around and there is my son standing completely submerged in the water. He had walked down the steps so casually that nobody around noticed. I grabbed him and pulled him up, and while he was a little creeped out by what had just happened, he really wasn't scared. He was completely amenable to playing in the water after that. I really think his brother was with him reassuring him he'd be ok.
