TALES FROM THE BOBBI LAMA

I asked my late husband for a sign of Love this morning when I was really missing him. It’s been two years, but those times still swell up and engulf me in deep grief. Very often when I ask him for a sign to know he’s still around me in spirit, something will happen that has meaning between us, or it will be so unexplainable that I know it’s him. Today was a little different. I asked for any sign of Love and they just poured in all day, and some in ways I wasn’t expecting.

I started receiving calls from people for unusual reasons. One woman just sensed a need to call me because of an unusual sign she received. She cared about me and hoped I was okay. Another friend texted me to wish us a happy anniversary, She is someone with whom I connect very lovingly but not often. The funny thing was that today wasn’t my anniversary and she had no idea what made her think it was. She just wanted to send her love. Then my sister called, my daughter called, my other daughter texted to invite me over, several close friends called, and so on…all day. I was truly high on happy.

I went for a walk and saw two blackbirds on a fence right where I walked. They were nestling with each other like a loving couple not even noticing me as I came within a few feet. I came home and turned on the computer to check my Facebook page, and I scrolled through a series of sites that streamed in with so many videos of loving kindness. And after that, I felt compelled to go look in a cabinet of glass vases to find a tea set that I wanted to use with the little girl next door for a tea party we’re planning. I kept pulling out the vases to find that tea set stored all the way in the back of that cabinet. As I kept taking out the vases, I began to realize just how many flowers I had received from him over all our years together, and all sent with Love. It was a beautiful reminder.

And now, as I look over the day, I realized he sent me Love by way of signs, messages, images and reminders of all the Love in my life… including his. I have no idea how he does that, or how much he should get credit for. However, what I do know is that I had all the signs of Love I could possibly ask for today, and I am so very grateful.
