Earlier this week I was in my kitchen/dinning room working on the new island I just put in. It was a beautiful evening and I had the windows up. I was searching through the house looking for a screwdriver (my 7 year old has discovered tools this summer and even though he has his own tool set mine seem to disappear!) I was standing in the dinning room when something caught my eye. It was like a small bug flying through the house, but after it flew by I saw it for a moment in the kitchen and it was almost a turquoise color (one of my favorite colors) I thought 'hmm thats weird' and turned to walk into the livingroom when something came flying centimeters in front of my eyes. It didn't look like a bug, it didn't feel like a bug. Call me crazy but as soon as that I happened I had this overwhelming sense that Brad was there with me. I just froze, it was the most incredible feeling and I wanted to absorb as much of it as I could. unfortunately that incredible moment was interrupted by my son's father calling on his way to drop him off after football practice. But even then I could still feel Brad, just not as strong. Later that night I realized that when all of this happened I was standing in the spot where the paramedics were working on him. I still do not know for sure if he was gone before I got home or if he passed while they were working on him. This experience makes me think he passed when they were working on him. Anyways I just wanted to share my story, as crazy as it may sound. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

My mom passed away on June 18th. I was her cargiver and only child. Although she was 89 years young and it was "expected" I don't know how to BREATHE without her. I stay busy throughout the day but I can only do that so long until I burn out! I'm all alone now and don't know what I'm going to do!! I can only fake it for so long. I'm TIRED of losing my people!!!!

I also have had signs from my sweetie. I've felt him patting my legs when I was in bed just before going to sleep. At first I was scared and bolted upright in bed! But then I was okay with it. Also one morning, I swung my legs over to his side of the bed and felt a real "hot spot" just where he would have been sitting before lying down. I kept my feet there for the longest time (probably about 2 minutes) just absorbing his energy until it faded.
Kitchen lights flickered off and on that whole summer and then just suddenly stopped. A butterfly that sat so still and serene on his garden chair, when I was sobbing uncontrollably. I just looked up all of a sudden and saw this orange butterfly. I knew it was David telling me he was O.K.
Somehow they seem to find ways to reach us - even from the beyond.
