11 in a different way

My mother (deceased now two years) taught me about the significance of 11 and how often it shows up. (yes, she died in 2011). When she was dying, she called a friend for help and he rushed her to the hospital. I immediately flew across country and was with her until her death (time unknown). I called the friend who had helped her and relayed the news of her passing. The next day he told me he noticed something odd. He said ""When your mom called I looked at the clock and it was 1:11, when you called to tell me she passed I looked again and it was 1:11". (He had no idea about my mom's association with 11)
My mom taught me though that I would see numbers that added up to 11 often too, particularly fives and ones. So 551, 155, 515 also call out to me. 11 is always the supreme number though. On that note, Mom died on 2/27 (she would add those numbers up and say "11" in the year 2011".
Her birthday was 2/9...11 again. Her birth and death both encompassed 11.
Since she passed the 11's have overwhelmed me. I've also had amazing things happen in my life and crazy incidents of "luck" since she passed on.
I want so badly to talk to her about it all! The other day I was talking to her out loud and poured out my heart regarding my estrangement from my youngest child who has rejected all my attempts to reconnect and reconcile. A few hours later that same child who has been estranged from me for 7 years sent me a text saying "I love you".
Miracles are everywhere...I mean everywhere! I am not quite sure how to respond to all this except with daily awe and gratitude. I saw writings about the importance of meditation and I plan to incorporate that too.
Does anyone have any other thoughts or guidance?

Welcome Cassandra!
Your post touched my heart from beginning to end with the closeness between you and your mom that transcends death and the reunion you experienced with your estranged son. The..."I love you." ...oh my tears flowed when I read those words...as I experienced an estrangement a few years ago with my eldest son. It seemed for two years I was never free from the pain of it and you dear lady went through this for 7 years....Bless you.

The only advice I would give you is to always keep in mind that this is your journey and because of that it will be unique and not exactly the same as anybody else's. That, in a way, is part of the excitement and joy...revelling in your tailored discoveries, coming through meditation and contemplation or whatever means your Teachers and Divine Guides provide. You will meet many here with differing views or I guess you could call them beliefs, and all passionate about what they have discovered...what they feel is their truth. But as I watch so many light-filled people pass through these doors I have begun to see that each of them have a part of Truth... and it doesn't come from the words that they say...it comes from the Love in their hearts. It is something that is beyond beliefs and spiritual experiences. Even these wonderful number prompts are still simply a lovely tool from beings a little older and much wiser than us who have been around the block a few times. We're all still growing, though, including these Angels and Midwayers who work so lovingly and diligently to help us find our way "Home." Thank goodness the Source of all that is has a big ole bright light burning for each of us. :)

Please look around the site and if you have any questions please voice them. In the meantime, thank you for sharing a little bit of your life with us. It has been a pleasure. I look forward to seeing you around the board. :hithere
Love,
Sandy

Thank you so much for the warm welcome Sandy! I loved how you talked about the "big ole bright light shining for each of us". That is how I feel it too. I feel it like subtle (and not so subtle) illuminations that guide us. It reminds me of a time that I went for a walk with others through a dark path in the woods at night to go to a lake up in the Berkshire mountains. Earlier that day, someone had put little lights along the path so that we would safely find our way to the lake and back again. I remember that it was still a scary walk because so much was unseen with those tiny lights but they led us to fireworks and watermelon at the lake and then back again.
Often when I pray for others I ask that their little lights grow a bit brighter.
This is a wonderful board ...how awesome that there was a light leading me here!
