Saftey pins and memories

I've been asked many times before by many people one question after they lose a loved one... very often it's asked in a different way depending on the person who is asking.. you have the non believers who think they are going half crazy, the people who are praying and clinging to any reality that they are not alone, the people who believe their is such thing as a gift from above and then the people just curious because they have heard stories and don't know if to believe the truth in it. Always the same thing though. 

'Can someone send me a gift from Heaven so I know they are ok?'

So none of this is by the textbook and remember whoever is reading this that this is 100% what I believe and that is all, but I don't know, there is a part of me inside that believes this with SO MUCH strength, power ,hope and faith that I know it' got to be true in some way.  In my eyes the answer to this question has and always will be a massive 'YES' with no room for doubt or anything that could change  my mind and heart and push me away from what I believe. 

Becky sent me a random message saying 'I keep finding safety pins everywhere and it's making me wonder if it's a sign from Gweedo like is he trying to tell me something?'. I want to get something straight here from the start and that is as much information as I will give out on a blog for anyone to read, i'm not going to explain the whole connection to safety pins and Gweedo as it's not significant at all to anyone who does not know him and his story. Respect for my friend will make me keep that one quiet. In all though it's an object that reminded her of Gweedo so so so strongly and so I fully believe it is his way of sending a message from above to her to say a number of things but must of all 'hey i'm ok, i'm good I am fine and i'm watching over you always'. Yet again there are many more things on a personal level that he could be saying, some I know but am not willing to write here and I can bet there are a million of other things I don't know either and that's ok.  It's just what i'm trying to get across by this one small event, by finding this one object randomly during your day. 

Depending on who your loved one is, they may not even be human, the item/scent/music could vary by huge and I mean huge amounts and each message could mean something so different for every person. I do however believe though that if you find yourself hearing a song more than normal...smelling something out of nowhere that is not anything to do with where you are at the time or finding a random object that reminds of a person that has passed. I believe that is a gift from them, to you, chosen to be found, heard, smelt by YOU. 

I feel deep within my heart that life does not start and end on this earth and that there are many faces in which we are shown only one. Some people well they may be blessed with the gift of seeing into other levels and relams the ones that our loved ones pass over to when they leave this earth and slip in an eternal life and state of peace. In general though, not many of us will get to do that. Those living in the world above ours (where I believe our loved ones that have passed go) can reach to us whenever they want, they can hear us, see us, feel us and want to comfort us like they always did in this life but there is one problem... being worlds apart it is not possible for them to touch us and hold us like they used to, so instead they find ways of showing us by leaving us little gifts or quick and short snaps of a memory briefly forgotten. To show you that you are not alone and by no means are they gone for good, they are still there, watching over you and comforting you, just because you can't feel them or see them all the time, just because they are not in solid state does not mean you are alone.

So for anyone who ever asks themselves the question I wrote above, you can think whatever you like, but this is my point of view. What I believe and I hope somewhere this message is bringing comfort to at least one person.

Make me a rainbow bright

I've been writing blogs in what seems like forever now but I really wanted to start a new one, like a fresh clean slate on something that for me is really important.

To me when someone passes away and leaves this earth that is not the end by any means, there is so much more to it than that, no way can our whole lives come down to that one fleeting moment and then it's all over forever. Recently I've been speaking to my friend Becky and she is the one person who inspired me to begin this blog and direct my thoughts about this kind of thing into one place instead of on a random blog getting mixed up with everything else, because at the end of the day when your reading about something that or some people can be so significant you do not want it broken up with random posts about stuff not even very important in the long run.

So here's to my new blog... 'Make me a rainbow bright'.... inspired by my beautiful friend Becky Marinich and her friendship with her beautiful best friend Brent 'Gweedo' Matthews.
