I have to share this with all of my friends. I just got a wonderful early Christmas present. When I checked my email Tuesday night I was shocked to find an email from my son. Clinton got an email account when he got broadband internet connection but he never used it. He basically hated email and wouldn't use it, read it or answer it. Amy (his wife) is the only one who even knows his password but she has her own account and has never bothered his. Anyway, I see on my received emails his user name as sending me something. I clicked on it expecting to see some sort of spam with just a slight difference in his name. I'm sure you guys have seen these where they are talking about viagra, rolex watches or some other stupid thing. Well, it had an attatchment that was blocked because of the security settings on my computer and I just couldn't bring myself to delete it. I didn't want to crash my computer so decided to wait until the next morning and ask our computer technician at work about it. He came to my office, looked it over and decided that if I wanted to open it I could. We downloaded the attatchment and opened it and there was a picture of my son standing by a lake near his house looking like he didn't have a care in the world!!!! We all just sat there with our mouths hanging open and tears forming in our eyes. My son, who never used his email in life, who has been gone for 6 months now somehow managed to send me a picture of himself that my daughter in law took of him about 10 days before he died! My life has been in such a turmoil for the past month or so and I believe that he was trying to let me know that with all I had going on and all I was worried about, that he is fine, he is still with me and he doesn't want me to worry about him. I told my daughter in law about it and she and I both cried and marveled that it happened to be a picture of him, looking so relaxed and standing beside the peaceful water. She also said that she hadn't been on his email site forever. She called me this morning to tell me that they had set his email up to keep track of everything he ever sent and that she checked last night and NOTHING had been sent from his email!I love you and miss you so very much Clinton. Sometimes I think that I just cannot go another day without seeing or hearing from you. As always you have shown me with this email just what a wonderful relationship we have and that the bond of love that binds our hearts together will never be broken. Death can separate us physically but not in spirit. Thanks! I love you...Mom

That is so beautiful. I had chills when I read it. I do so believe that our children send messages to us if we are open to them. Today I was walking from our bedroom to the kitchen, and when I passed the living room, I could smell Greg\'s cigarette smoke. I backed up, and there was no mistaking it. No one has ever smoked in this house, but when my husband goes in the lr to talk to Greg, he told him he could smoke in there now. They are with us in spirit. Bless you and Clinton. Rita
Too fantastic, our angels can do anything from heaven. Save it elsewhere so it isn\'t gone if the computer crashes. My love and prayers to you. Way to go Clinton, tell Matthew how you did it!! Lynette ~ Matthews mom
