As you read in the previous post about my running, my Mom passed away in December. I know she is here watching over us, protecting us and especially seeing all that her grandchildren are doing. At least I WANT to really believe this. I feel like I am always searching for something that will help me feel this even stronger. Well the other day I had a sign and I just felt it was from her. The feeling that came over me was actually pretty freaky.
It was Friday. Lily and I were about to get in the car to drive around with the kitty cats. We had a showing of our house scheduled and I had cleaned and scrubbed all morning. I got the last cat in the car and rushed in to get Lily. She stood up and said "Look Mommy a butterfly!" I looked out on my deck and there was a beautiful yellow and black monarch butterfly flying all around my flower box. I have NEVER seen one there before in the 10 years that we have been living here. I just got this feeling inside and I KNEW it was my Mom...I just felt it. I said to Lily "It's a sign, it's a sign from Grammy". It just kept flying around and around. It did not go away. Lily and I watched it for a while and I managed to get a picture with my tiny camera. (I was bummed I didn't have my good Nikon - it was in the car.) Anyway I was so glad I got the photo.
It was the most beautiful butterfly I have ever seen. Like I said before, a feeling just came over me. Of course I started crying. I thought -- this is the sign that this showing is going to be the one. I got very sad when I got home and realized that the people didn't even show up for the darn showing! I was so mad. BUT - I still believe that it was a sign. A sign that things are OK and that it is all going to work out for us. And especially that Mommy is safe and watching over us - everything is going to be OK for all of us.I did some reading on the internet about signs from heaven. Of course one of the big ones is butterflies.
So that is my story. I don't usually pay too much attention to stuff like this but there was something special about this butterfly....something REALLY special.

Really sweet and that's a beautiful picture even without the Nikon. Just so you know, that's a swallowtail butterfly, not a monarch. I only know because of "Cookie" remember him? I did a lot of research back then.
Cool sign though, I'll have to look at your link when I'm not so teary.
Oops! yes I see that. I meant to do my research before I posted and forgot! Thanks! Swallowtail butterfly!
That is really sweet. Several times I've seen robins that I swore were my grandmothers keeping watch over me. So, I know that feeling well. Also, we did have several no shows last year when we were trying to sell our house. Very, very maddening!
