NDR: Do you believe in this stuff?

[sailorgray]

A good friend of mine passed away very unexpectedly last month. One thing she and I had in common was our participation in Team in Training (you train for events like marathons and raise money for the LLS). I actually did it first and then encouraged her to do it, which she very sincerely thanked me for doing a few years later and gave me as TNT souvenir as a thank you.

One of the fundraising things we could do for TNT was sell those purple rubber bracelets. I have been thinking about her a lot these past few days b/c I finally learned how she died and have been researching it. This morning I came downstairs and there in the hallway in the middle of the floor was one of those bracelets. I have not seen one in years. Mine have been gone for about 5 years. I have moved twice since even having them. My H said it wasn't there when he went to bed and he has no idea where it came from either. It is VERY odd and random that it would just be there. I totally believe this was my friend's way of saying she was thinking of me, too. I may sound like a looney, but oh well. I am very happy and touched that my friend thought to "visit" me when I know so many people are mourning her death.

I definitely believe in stuff like that happening. I'm sorry for the loss of your friend.

I also wanted to say "Go TEAM!" from one TNTer to another.

:Y:

The other thing (and this may be stretching it) was that my friend was very family oriented and could not wait to start a family of her own. She was to marry this summer. She had nieces and nephews that she was crazy about and she was so excited when I became a mom. Well, in the middle of the night, my 2 year old woke up. Now this is normal, but instead of his normal yelling and crying until we get him, he very peacefully wast just saying "Mommy Mommy..." I went to his room and he was standing by the door and as soon as he saw me, he quietly ran back to bed and fell asleep. Before even seeing the bracelet, I told my H that the whole thing was kinda weird b/c it was so quiet and peaceful. I don't know. I just wonder....

I do and I totally got chills. Sorry for your loss.

[april37]

Yes, and I just got goosebumps from reading this.

I totally believe this was your friend. Loved ones have a way of letting us know they are okay once they pass on, in my experience at least. I'm sorry for your loss.

[orangeblossom]

Absolutely, I've had many experiences like that. Sorry to hear about your friend.

Just this past Mother's Day, I was feeling down about missing my mother, and this line ladybug appeared on my windshield as I was pulling away from my house. My mother loved ladybugs. There were no other ones around and I hadn't seen any prior to or after that experience. I know it was her.

[mayflowers22]

Definitely.

YES YES YES I do believe in this stuff. I wrote a post back in May about the amazing pictures being captured by our security camera - we blieve it is our son, who died in a fire on 3/1/12. The camera captures images when there is movement of changes in pixels. We FIRMLY BELIEVE that the images of light we have seen are my son.

My orignal post went up on May 28th I believe - I am going to try and post a link to it.

I do too. We've had weird stuff happen in my parents house too . I'm really sorry you lost your friend.

[sailorgray]

Thanks everyone! I love this post.

DT - I thought about you and your son when I started thinking it was my friend. It's a good feeling.

[kellygordon]

Yes. Got the chills.
