You Gotta Meet Me Half Way
I recently was talking with a golf buddy of my late husband who commented on how I’m not reaching out for help, like when the hurricane came through, or to the women of our social group to get together, including his wife. He wanted to be helpful and said ,”You know, you’ve gotta meet us…

My Granddaughter’s Wedding
Oh, my, what a roller coaster of emotions this past weekend wedding was for me. My late husband, in spite of so many health conditions, tried so hard to stay alive to attend our granddaughter’s wedding. He promised her as a newborn that he would dance with me at her wedding, but passed away a…

JUST CHANGING FORM ON OUR ETERNAL JOURNEY
I am grateful for the almost 54 years my late husband and I had together before he transitioned, but simultaneously just so sad. I even feel selfish as I admit I wanted more…it wasn’t enough. How could 19,775 days not be enough? When it’s so good, I guess, especially at the end. We always loved…

My husband and I did the healthy years and the end-of-life years together, so “in sickness and health” certainly takes…

Just Jack
One Thursday morning before the fourth of July weekend, I went out to get the mail. I saw a huge, white feather sticking up in the grass like a dart right in front of the mailbox. You really couldn’t miss it! And even though I had found feathers occasionally in the yard in the past,…

Signs from the Other Side
Recently I’ve been wondering what my late husband’s soul, his energy vibration or frequency can do now in his non-physical state. Unfortunately, my skeptical mind wants an explanation for what seems to be happening in my home that I feel might be signs from him. I want to be “beyond-any-doubt” certain it’s him reaching out…
