MY ANGELS SCATTERING DAY AT THE BEACH
My nephew Justin, brought 3 Dove's to my son Ryan's scattering day, of his ashes, at the beach, and about 50 family members & friends shared this experience with me, the funeral director walked out into the ocean, up to his waste in the middle of April,(On the eastcoast, in New Hampshire)very cold water, we all watched him let Ryan's ashes go, the last thing we did, was to let the Dove's go home to their destiny, but first before we let them go, if we wanted, we were allowed to hold them and pat them, I decided to pick one up, and hold it, and I talked to the Dove, I looked in the Dove's beautiful brown eyes, just as though they were Ryan's brown eyes, the Dove was so peaceful in my hands, the Dove was tilting his head, looking at me with Ryan's beautiful brown eyes, as though he wanted to communicate with me, Now, it was time to throw them up into the air, so we threw them up, and 2 of them flew up in the sky, except my Dove, my Dove jumped on the ground, and stood their looking at me, I said to the Dove, "Ryan" I know that is you, and you don't want to go home, you want to stay with me, I said look everyone, this Dove is Ryan, and he won't go, he wants to stay with us, Ryan the Dove, wants to hang out with us, I said thats my boy, I knew you wanted to stay with your Mom & your Friends, everybody laughed, we looked up into the sky, and the 2 Dove's were circling around, way up in the sky waiting for Ryan the Dove to fly home with them, I said to, Ryan the Dove, you can't stay, you need to go home with the other 2 Dove's, they are waiting for you, GO RYAN GO, FLY RYAN FLY, And off he flew, in 2 seconds he was with the other 2 Dove's, All 3 Dove's headed south, as fast as they could fly, to their destiny.... Love, Kelly (Ryan's Mom)

Kelly, that is so amazing and such a comforting story. Thanks for sharing these journals. I know that it was more than coincidence that the old picture was taken at the same spot as the scattering. Ryan is letting you know that he is ok and he loves you. Not only is it amazing, it is awesome. Love, Kim
a beautiful story I could almost feel all the love.Love to you,Vicki
Bless you. Ryan loves his mom and always will. Only we moms can see the eyes of our children in something as innocent and peaceful as a dove. God is watching and comforting you. In Christ\'s love, Dale, Brandon\'s Mom

First I have to admit to my inability to cope with the loss of my daughter, \"Danni\". After attempting to take my own life, \"another story,\" I was in a pssychiatric ward for many weeks! On Danni\'s birthday,they gave me two white doves to let go. The one \"I\" tried to \"Lift Off\" flew in a circle above us, as if reluctant to leave. Then it came back and sat on my shoulder! I cried so hard! I wanted to keep the dove so badly! I think all the patients that were there were pretty emotional. The dove finally flew, but didn\'t leave for days and we all put out scraps of bread for it. I spent \"47\" days there and the dove was there when I left. I wanted to bring her home, but so many were attached to her that I felt it would be wrong to take her away. She had found a home, a really good home! I hope she lived a long healthy \"bird\'s life\" there in that courtyard. I know the bird brought much joy to the patients that came behind me! By the way, we named her \"Hope!\" My Danni\'s name was \"Hope Danielle\"!!!
Oh what a beautiful expierence for all of you. I am glad Ryan is free now. I am sorry for your loss,Love Peggy
Every day I wake up and say, another day without you Becky....... I don\'t think I am ready to set my daughters ashes free ,Its her 18th soon and I was going to let black and white balloons go... her favorite colours....I wear her clothes a lot ( she wore goth clothes... It suits my demeanor ......I am glad I got to spend 17 1/2 years with her even if she said she hated me the day she died .......
