My oldest son was born in 87 and passed away in 04 just short of his 17th birthday. My father passed away in 1984 during my wedding. My second son was brought home to die just after hisNovember11 wrote:My son was born on 11/11/89 and passed away on 6/6/90. From the day he died, I began seeing 11 minutes after the hour on the clock at least 4 times a day. I just knew this was his way of letting me know he was with me and that he knew that I was thinking about him. As you can imagine, these were very difficult years for me and I was thinking about him all the time. As the years have gone on, I notice it less, but there are many times even today when I am thinking about him, or something emotional or significant is happening and I look at the clock and it is 11:11, 1:11, or some other iteration of the number 11 plainly in sight. I thought this was my own personal connection to my own little angel, until I saw a bumper sticker on a car today about this website and it blew my mind. I looked it up as soon as I got home. Funny thing is I am having a very hard time in my life right now with significant losses occurring and ahead of me in the near future, so to find this site now is interesting. I am cautious not to get too carried away with all of this. My pragmatic self keeps me guarded. If nothing else, this gives me a chance to write and perhaps somehow find a catharsis in all of it. At best, since you are all likely kindred spirits, there is little likelihood there will be any eye-rolling or finger-twirling near the temple.

Roxie, it's amazing how you have such a zest for life and an amazing sense of humor with all that you have been through. Sandy is right, we all learn from each other here and we're all on different paths...but, hopefully, the same destination. LOVE!
Love, Clare
Me too Clare, I feel at home in nature, be that on a mountain, river,beach or even just out sitting in the back garden at the fish pond. I cannot say that Iluvinlife wrote:Roxie, I feel closest to God when I'm out in nature. Some people need "church" to pray or meditate. I do my best praying when I'm at the beach. Also, being that my brother is very sick with cancer, it helps me to believe that we are spirits in a temporary body, and that our spirit/soul is eternal.
Love, Clare

Rox, I've been thinking... it may get easier this separation with your daughter as she adjusts to campus life and you know she is okay...making good decisions etc.... It is another roadmark in life I think...a change for you and home life but once accepted and understood may feel more natural as time passes. Sometimes I would love to go back to those days when My boys were young and we were all experiencing life together. Yet, it is past and if I stayed there in my heart, I would feel sadness forever with the changes that occur. In many ways it can be rewarding watching our loved ones navigate the challenges of adult life .... always keeping in the back of the mind that down the road something new and wonderous may be on the horizon ......Yes! I'm talking about! "GRANDKIDS!!!
well,...maybe some day anyway.
