How is everyone this week? The sun is shining which normally helps although not always. I am having a good week thankfully, keeping busy which helps me.
I too had a lovely sign this week. I had actually spoken to Gems and asked her for a sign. The next morning I was telling a friend how when we lost Gemma I saw a very bright white bird fly up from the trees (where they later found her). As I walked to my car a few minutes later a bright white dove landed right in front of me and stayed for just a few seconds.
Such precious glimpses from our beloved children do raise our spirits. Much love to you all

Hi Victoria. I met up with a dear friend this week who has been shielding with their daughter who is on immune suppressants and steroids for a complex chronic illness. She has shared my anxiety during the last 4 years of Lisa’s life and I too share hers for her daughter.
We were talking about Brooke and Lisa and Jemma. I then shared with her the signs that most of us here have experienced. The most recent for me was last Friday at the big Park in Inverness. Brooke was having a great time and as i wstched I said out loud ‘can you see her Lisa? Can you see her through my eyes?’ Seconds later I felt tingly and a warm flush spread through my body. It stayed for a few seconds and was gone. I probably posted this before but anyway here it is again if so.
With love, Kate x

P.s. I did mention it but the bit where I was telling Lisa how much Brooke looked like her. These things happen and are gone so quickly it’s sometimes hard to remember what exactly was happening.
It was lovely though.

So true, Kate. I am sure we are sent these little glimpses to give us comfort and I think they keep us going. xxx
Dear Victoria , Kate and friends,
I am not feeling the best at the moment as in two weeks time it will be two years since we lost Matt and am finding everything so difficult, it does help when the Sun shines and a little Robin appears and things like that make you feel our loved ones are with us I do feel blessed as we do get a lot of signs and I have a special book that I write them in so I don’t forget them, it has dragonflies on and they are very special to us all, when Matt was in Malawi he would message and send us pictures of a dragonfly that kept coming to see him and one of it sitting on his leg , this happened a week before he passed and over a a period of a week, I have the pictures of them that he sent and they are very large, we told him it was his grandpa coming to visit him who had recently passed, after we lost our lovely boy we had many encounters with dragonflies as a family which I will share with you at some time, last week we were in Croyde North Devon and Internet was not the best but I saw your lovely pictures of your beautiful grandchildren and also your lovely Gemma 
she looks so happy she is at peace now and is with you and her boys every second of every day . Kate its so lovely to hear what Brooke is up too it warms my heart and Lisa is with you and sending you signs all the time , I love to hear about all the signs our children send us as it keeps us all going and I feel sorry for people who don’t open their minds and hearts to signs, take care all lovely moms
Love Michelle xxxx

Thinking of you. It will be 2 years in July for us. It breaks my heart to think how excited she was about going on holiday on 18th May. I still remember our last normal time together on thev16th when she dropped her dog off and Brooke whilst she went to the hairdressers. I would have seen her the next day too as she was dropping off wedding flowers for me to take to a venue, but I was out. The dates that jump out at us are so hard to bear.
With love, Kate xx

Thank you Kate, Matt was also so excited to have been chosen to go with the Army to support training the rangers with the fight against poachers he absolutely loved wild life and he was sending us pictures and updating us on everything he was doing, we are doing that now thinking of this time two years ago leading upto his passing it seems like last week since we had the knock at our door how I yearn for the days when he was still with us and wished he had never gone to Malawi but he wanted to and he like Lisa was fulfilling his dreams
Hello dear friends , I am so pleased you are getting signs. I am sure they are telling us they are all around us I am feeling really sad again , had some sad news this morning my nephew rang and told me his mum , my lovely sister in law had passed away. She had been ill awhile but when I spoke to her a couple of weeks ago .she was so full of life . That is the 2nd sister in law in 2 months .I just cannot believe she is gone.I will miss her so much .I am sure God takes the best first With love Maddie xx

Oh gosh Maddie, I am not surprised you feel so low. Its bad enough coping with grief for our own child but then grieving with your niece’s and nephews.
I can’t begin to even feel what you are feeling.
Good that you shared your pain with us though.
Lots of love to you.
Kate xxxx
Dearest Maddie,
I am so sorry you have suffered another loss. It is hard enough dealing with losing your beloved Dawn but so much harder then having to deal with others grief.
I hope you have some bright moments this week and hopefully see you next week!
Much love xxxx
Hi all,
Just wanted to share something which some if you may have read but I found this really sums up our grief and how we feel, Google ‘why we will never get over it’ (abedformyheart)
Dear Maddie sending you love and strength to help your niece’s and nephews through their grief
Love to all

Kate,
She looks so lovely and as you mentioned Jamie makes sure she neat and tidy. Beautiful picture. We are still waiting on the First Minister as we are 7 adults so hoping on17th May she says more about the dates from 21st June.

Michelle, that is one perfect description of how it feels. Sums up how we feel when someone asks how you are doing and before you have a chance to say ’ not great really ’ they have changed the subject.
Take care, thankyou for sharing this too.
With love, Kate xx
