And if I go,
while you're still here…
Know that I live on,
Vibrating to a different measure
Behind a thin veil you
cannot see through.
You will not see me,
So you must have faith.
I wait for the time when
we can soar together again,
Both aware of each other.
Until then,
live your life to the fullest
And when you need me,
Just whisper my name in your heart,
…I will be there

I know when my mom passed she was seeing her step parents who raised her,around her bed as well..

....this was beautiful.....thank you my friend.....I'm sure he and mom had a hell of a reunion....we will bid him adieu on Friday, but that's simply the husk of the spirit that has flown.....

....that image will stay with me the rest of my days....Dad was so very lonely after Mom died, even with all of us around-it wasn't the same as having Ma in the house, but that sweet and gentle smile was singularly beautiful......I truly believe in spirit guides, and just a few days before dad crossed into the clearing, his niece was at the house, and he said "How can I see you AND Kathleen(Mom), but you can't see her??? And who are all these folks gathered around my bed?"....plus, to take it one step further, my dad was n inveterate animal and bird lover-that same day-a flock of mixed birds whirled into a tree in front of the house and sat quietly, as if in sympathy....sparrows, cardinals, nuthatches and titmice....normally they don't run together, but they came to say their goodbyes....then, to add one more eerie but poignant moment, a lone cardinal sat on the railing of the porch outside the picture window where dad's hospital bed was, and stood watch for quite a long time.....
This is quite beautiful, Scott. As I said before- get a journal and write these types of things down.

.....I just ask for positive vibes today and tomorrow....I loathe calling hours and a funeral.....it will be like losing him over and over again.......
May the day pass quickly - it's an important ritual (I think) especially for friends to express condolences - so sorry Scott - seven months apart is tough - may your Dad rest in peace :burn_joss_stick: He's with your Mom now
((((Scott))))

Just peek over your shoulder... we are there.
.....this I know.....indulge me for a moment if you would my family.....I hope that each and everyone of you know how much you mean to me, how my day is brightened and my burdens are less heavy when I get to come here and be the unencumbered boob that I am.....some of you are the dearest friends I ever had, despite there being a good many I've not had the honor to meet nose to nose.....that's what is miraculous about this place....acceptance and love spring up without a second thoughts....very few locations offer a haven of the heart as this Board, does and I guess what I'm rambling on about, is how keen this feeling was brought home at my time of loss...hell, I knew it-but right now it's a nearly palpable feeling.....all of you, do me a favor......reach out to those who are important to you and simply tell them you love them, a minor effort that will yield major benefits......none of us know when those we care about or ourselves, will begin the slow walk to the clearing at the end of the path.....
