Nice to know there is a place to go where a person can read such uplifting mterial.

My husband, Bill, passed away in April 2002. For his memorial I wanted "Sweet William" flowers and the lady at the funeral home got some for me but they were not the kind I remembered. Every Spring Bill and I would go to garden centers looking for the flowers we would plant in the garden and we usually bought "Sweet William" flowers. My husband told me his grandmother used to plant them for him when he was small and so it was particularly endearing to me to find them for him. Well, any way the flowers for the memorial were not the ones I remembered and I was confused. One day I walked out onto the patio in our backyard and happened to look in a flowerbed that I KNOW we had never planted anything in year after year, it only had shrubs in it. But what I saw was unbelieveable; the biggest brightest most colorful flowers I had ever seen had popped up, purple, white, pink. I looked them up and found they were not dianthus (sweet william) but were called phlox and do you know that phlox is also called sweet william, but wild sweet william....they are wild, bright and beautiful, just like my Bill (is!). I cannot explain to you the joy, love and beauty I feel when I look at these flowers and know that they are defintely a sign from God and Bill. I know they were listening and sent me this comforting sign. Claudia Holub, Port Jefferson, New York

I lost my 18 year old daughter March 23, 2002 I miss her so much and can't believe this happened. I'm not sure how I'm going to get through this, the pain is so bad. I am reading your book and I have had some signs from her. Your book and this site are both comforting.

I have received many signs. Some people think,"OH, she is just nuts" and "She is just looking for a comfort for her greif." I have been given butterflies, rainbows, a shooting star and dimes. These are just a few I have received. Some are given to me by way of dreams. Sometimes it is in what I write, I write essays and quotes, poems, lots of poems. I had no idea, the butterfly was a symbolic afterlife symbol. I have writen a story with a poem about a girl whose life was short as like a butterfly! It is a true story, one of which is close to my heart in many ways. Believing these signs or messages from the loved one departed, is an emotional experience. It is just a knowing, and personal. I found this website. Here is a quote I wrote, "there are no coincidences!"

I have enjoyed reading your site: I visited after my recent ADC confirmation with an old friend who recently died. I have always had dreams, visions, (become reality), I have always been blessed or cursed with however, one chooses to see it.....with these incites......I see as a blessing......thanks for your site.....I will continue to view it from time to time.. Just knowing that you aren't the only one who has experienced this and that you aren't crazy is a BIG help.
