I too know the relationship goes on, as I still feel close to my Dad and he passed away 7 years ago. We just have a different relationship now. And, while I haven't had the experience like yours with the beetle, a member of my family certainly did. These are awe inspiring moments...what a gift! All the Best, Kara Ivan,

When my mother died, my daughter Julia was particularly upset that she didn't get the chance to say "good-bye". At the funeral, Julia placed her teddy bear on my mother's casket amidst the roses and lilies. A yellow buttterfly flew down from the sky and landed on the teddy bear, resting there for several minutes. It was a blessing and a benediction from my mother. Almost a year later, I was leaving for a trip, carrying my blanket and pillow to the car. Earlier that day, a friend had asked if I ever felt my mother's presence or recieved a message from her. I said that no, I guessed she had moved on. As i put my blanket and pillow into the car, a small object fell out of the blanket. It was a golden circle with my mother's initials on it. I had never seen it before. Ivan, we know so little of the other worlds, of the depth and breadth of love. we do know a little of the power of love. You can see from the messages here what the power of your love does. Thank you. I look forward every day to your poems and postings--your love has sustained me many a time. I hope that I have returned a little of that. Love, Louise Thank you, Ivan, for telling us about your mother’s passing and relating the story about the beetle.

As a hospice chaplain, I often heard of the one who had recently passed, sending a sign or showing up in a dream to let their loved ones know they were all right. That assurance given, then they can go on. How do we know the signs of their presence? To paraphrase the Fox in the Little Prince, "What is real cannot be seen with the eyes. It must be seen with the heart." You have been present to all of us from your heart. Your gift of poetry carries that so well. Now my we be present to you from our hearts. And may you find the grace and see the signs of the continued presence of your mother and the Divine Love. Blessings, Michael Ivan,

I understandthat your mother was brave lady and her passing away has been a deep and profound loss to you. I've no doubt she continues to live in you, and will always be there by your side guiding you and blessing you. May her soul rest in Peace and may God ever bless you.
