I added Scott's Sr. pic tonight. (Sun.)  This was taken not too long after his 1st car accident.  Anyway, I had previously mentioned the cross on the barn wall by his left arm.  After 3 years I recently noticed it after asking him to give me a sign of some sort. Adam had never noticed it either.  I carry this photo in my wallet and it is on display in my living room. Today when I visited the cemetery I asked him again.  When I finally got home tonight I had a load of laundry to put in the dryer.  On top of the dryer was a drawing he had done in 7th grade.  It was a sketch of a females face. Maybe me, I don't know.  Anyway, I have no idea how that drawing got there or even where it was.  There is a file cabinet by my dryer and maybe I pulled something out a few days ago, although I don't remember doing that, and the drawing fell out then.  I have stuff on top of my dryer so I might not have noticed.  Or, maybe it was truly a sign from him.  It all makes me crazy.  I want so badly to know that he is more than just plain dead.  My faith has been so badly shaken.  But maybe.....

I believe that it WAS a sign from Scott. I looked at your new photo and thought what a beautiful boy he is. That body is gone now, but Scott is still alive, only in a different form. It is we, who are left behind, that find it hard to accept the signs that we are sent. Of that I am sure, although i grieve terribly, as do you. Feel me giving you a big hug, as I wish I could. You are a wonderful person. Nina also worked with autistic children, adults and their parents. She just loved them to pieces. Thank you for all your support. It has meant a great deal to me. I am trying to send support to you, as we both know what a dreadful time this is. Lots of love from Anne xxx

I think it was a sign from your son. I know what you are saying about the faith thing. I don\'t have much trust in it either, but I\'m trying hard to keep whatever I have left. Take Care, Love and Hugs.

I understand...it is normal to question whether something is a sign or not...is it coincidence or from our child? I choose to accept that it is from Alex...if I am wrong...what difference does it make...if it brings me comfort...if it gives me hope...it is good. I think that in time...we will truly believe again...we must be patient...we have been through so much...for heavens sake we have lost our precious children...hang in there my friend...Love and hugs...Karen

I have waited for 3 months for some kind of sign with no result. Other friends of mine tell me of all the things they see, butterflies, hummingbirds, pennies. I get nothing. I look but maybe not hard enough. I envy you. Jackie
