Believe or Not?
I'm not sure if I believe in signs or not, but last night the strangest thing happened. To start with this past week has been getting more and more difficult for me. Not really sure why, but then nothing has made alot of sense to me for the past year from my husbands illness to this grief journey.
So last night I was just sitting in my livingroom and crying. I looked out the window and saw one of the biggest hawks I've ever seen sitting in the tree in my front yard. Now I've seen hawks around here before but never so close and never on such a low branch. After a little bit I noticed I had stopped crying but I was still watching him. Soon he flow from that limb to the rail on the front porch, I still just sat and watched. All of a sudden I thought how my husband would of gotten such a kick out of seeing this hawk,( see he loved watching the birds out the front window so much his chair sits right next to the bay window). Just then the hawk started flying in and out of the white post on the front porch, then he would land for a second or two then start flying again. He did this for almost 30 minutes, I never moved and the really strange thing is my dogs never moved or barked at this bird once. They bark and try to climb in the window when ever anything gets near are yard or porch.
If I believed in signs I could think of this a my husbands way of distracting me....visiting me....or at least occupying me long enough to stop my tears (which it did). If I don't believe in signs then this was just some dumb bird doing things that are very out of character for it's species.
So for my own comfort and simply because it warms my heart I've decided to stop over thinking it,
just except that wonderful things can happen to help us on our journey!
Thank you honey for still being my knight in shining armor,
for still being able to make me feel better when no one else can.
Love you always

Lisa i've had a few occurances like that too and i never believed in this stuff before. Now i know it's true because there is no way they were all coincidences. I believe my husband is around somehow, and it gives me comfort

Thank you all for sharing your signs with all of us. I love hearing them, they make me feel less foolish when I talk to KC or ask him for things. @ north We also had a beautiful granddaughter 2 months after KC passed. That is my precious Molly that will be having her heart surgery around the beginging of March. I ask KC everyday to watch over Molly and my Dad sense he started chemo 4 weeks ago. If I didn't beleive they are here and can hear us I don't think I would have anything left, somedays just knowing that he hears me is the only thing that keeps me going. I have to beleive.....I just have to.

i think babies have a closer tie to the spirit world. I was holding my 10 month old nephew and i said, can you tell LH hi for us and that we are thinking of him.. I don't know why i asked, just holding a new life in your hands gives you a few of eternities I guess. But others heard me say that and as soon as I asked him he screeched and laughed and then smiled at me.. For those around me that witnessed all were convinced that LH answered through him and said hi back... it was pretty intense and wonderful experience

I haven't shared this story with very many people. Our newest grandson was born after my husband died..he knew we were going to be grandparents again. On the day of his birth my son phoned me at work at exactly 11 am. Meanwhile my daughter who is a teacher and works with an autistic child was at this child's home. The mother of this child had been having computer issues and was running a program that was going through files. At exactly 11 am she called my daughter over and said you have to see this. This woman did not know my husband at all. On the computer screen was a picture of my husband with our friends son. This little boy was my husbands buddy. The picture was stuck. My daughter said they couldn't get it off the screen. Coincidently?? the little boy in the picture with my husband was also celebrating his birthday that day. Our new grandson and him share the same birthday. To this day we have no explanation why this picture would even be on this womans computer but I will always believe that my husband was letting us all know he was watching and knew our latest grandchild had been born. So yes Lisa I believe your husband was sending you a sign. The picture is that new grandchild who just turned 10 months old.

Lisa, I never believed in signs until 2 days before my husbands death. I was in a parking lot talking on the phone when a crow came and landed on my side mirror and just looked at me. I knew then that he was going to die very soon. In Sept. this year my daughter went into rehab for depression on my husbands birthday. A butterfly landed on her shirt that 1st day and stayed around her for 3 days. I have to believe that was her Dad.
There have been other strange things in the past 2 years and I have to believe that it is Keith checking in.
