I do! Well, actually you can call them whatever you like, but I do believe. And I believe we receive what we need at that point in time when we really need it.
I am about to share more on a public internet forum than I ever have... probably because I am on my second glass of wine.
On the 1 year anniversary of my son's death, I was a mess. There is no other way to say it - I was truly an emotional wreck. I barely remember most of it, but what I DO remember is this... my youngest had a baseball game on a field that was a walkable distance from the house. I leashed up the dog and we took off... walked down the street, around the corner and started crossing to the other side. Right in the middle of the road, I found a little silver heart-shaped charm-thingie etched with two hearts joined by a ribbon. I believe this was a gift of comfort from my son - our two hearts forever entwined together. It was exactly what I needed, exactly when I needed it.
Yesterday I finally completed reading Crossing Over by John Edward. One of the things he always says is that when he is given the symbol of pink roses, it means "I love you".
Today is the 5th anniversary of my son's death. We have a tradition of taking flowers to 5 different locations where 5 different groups planted trees in his honor. One of the locations is a religious shrine that hosts an annual culture camp that my son attended for many years. Upon arrival, I had to use the restroom (of course! lol) and I went inside. There in the hallway were two "yard sale" type tables filled with various religious items available for a "donation" - crosses, pins, medals of various saints, prayer books, angel paraphenalia of every kind, etc. And there, right in the middle of the 2nd table, was a little sterling silver charm of a rose in bloom... the only non-religious item in the bunch! And my gift today from my son. Call me silly or grasping at straws or whatever, but I know it's true, because - as I said in the beginning - I do believe in miracles. This was exactly what I needed at exactly the time I needed it.
Thank you for letting me share and I ask... do you believe in miracles?
