Back in October before Bill was diagnosed with cancer he bought me a bottle of my favourite S T Lauder perfume for my Birthday.
Today I felt the urge to go up the loft to try and find a handbag that my sister wanted to borrow for our brothers wedding on Saturday it had been packed away in a box when we moved house in November, anyway I found the the handbag and underneath was the unopened perfume that Bill had bought me back in October, it made me cry but it also gave me a strong feeling that he was watching over me as my other bottle had just ran out and I was going into town tomorrow to buy a new one.
I feel like I have been given this gift for a second time, maybe it is Bill,s way of telling me that he will be by my side on Saturday I hope so.
It certainly made me feel happy today ( a rare occurence ) It feels good to share something nice with my DS friends for a change.
Hugs to Everyone hope you can all have a happy day sometime soon

The day My Dear Wayne's obituary was coming out, I was waiting in the drug store for the papers. There were 2 peacock windchimes. Buy on get one, he knew what a savvy shopper I was. I bought them
Today I went to the store and browsed the flower house. I saw some time back a large peacock yard art. It was $80. To much for me, but today it was half price, I bought it. I had a horrible week and felt the need to buy myself a gift to make me smile. I knew he was behind it.
I look closely for him and he does show up. I wonder if he misses me as much as I miss him.
Peace to you

I know that my Darrell is here with me. I get all kinds of signs from him, from the flowers that never bloomed until after he died, to the comfort he provides when I'm feeling totally at the mercy of this loss and grief thing. All I have to do is close my eyes, stay very still and breathe deeply, and I can feel his arms around me. Within minutes, my tears stop and the boulder on my chest is lifted.
I think your finding that perfume was not a coincidence. Bill is reaching out to you, through the veil that separates us from them. Oh, how he loves you! (And how considerate he is to have saved you a trip to the store. :) )
Hugs,
Terry

May it bring a smile of remembrance to your face every time you use it!
Makes you wonder what will happen when you run out-again (?) G-
I think it will use it sparingly for a while
