What a lovely story, Brent. I'm an atheist but I always light a candle in every damn Catholic church I enter (I spend a lot of time in Italy) on behalf of a dear friend who passed a while ago at the age of 49. It's my moment to remember what a wonderful friend and person she was and to thank her for having been in my life. Thank you for sharing.
So many stores to share! Here's a short one: a few days ago, after an out-loud monologue to my soul-sister (who passed a few years back), I look up and see an entire hillside covered with back-lit poppies. I know some will say it's simply coincidence, but that feeling - your footprints in the sand - well, it doesn't really need more of an explanation, right?

This was really beautiful, Brent.

I’m glad you had your talk and felt so relieved. I agree that that’s most important and very real.
I’m hoping and wishing it was Laura. I’m comfortable with mystery. So glad you had that experience.
I love this, Brent. How beautiful. What a great pact. And your feelings about it, that's what really counts.
❤️❤️❤️
A lovely recollection of a lovely friend.
I think it was her! And even if it wasn't, what a great story. I love how it comforted you.
I am so happy that you had such a cathartic experience. What a beautiful thing.
I find it so comforting to talk to loved ones who have passed. There is so much love there.
Yes, I consciously activate some things in my head. But other things I don't (and that stuff freaks me out).
