I honestly believe that this group has helped also. How have things been going for you? I know you had some problems at work, I hope that they are getting better for you. Hugs and prayers.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2002 Report Share Posted August 27, 2002 Hi Keri, It’s a pleasure. I’m much better thanks, back on the Happy Wagon and chugging along nicely. I’m having a little flare so a bit sore and tired. It feels like I’m trying to run through deep warm mud with a really heavy wet blanket on me LOL! Nothing tragic though I just need to slow down for a few days and it should clear up. I do believe your experience, I might have had one of my own recently, I’ll tell you the story. My grandmother died a few months ago. I was really upset, it was very sudden and we were very close. I kept praying for a sign she was OK wherever she was. I’d just finished reading the story of Kubler Ross’s life (she wrote a book called On Death & Dying) very interesting woman. In her book she speaks of how the Jews in the concentration camps used to draw butterflies in their barracks, it puzzled her at first but she finally understood the butterflies represented the freedom they believed they would find after dying. There is a picture of a beautiful black and yellow butterfly(sorry can’t remember the scientific name) on the cover. When I read the book I thought of the movie Patch (beautiful true story if you haven’t watched it do - but buy some tissues) in it his girlfriend says that if she died she’d want to come back as a butterfly. Well she does die and he has this amazing experience where he’s lost all hope then a butterfly lands on him and transforms his life again. So all this is on my mind days before she dies. The night I heard about it my husband and I went to spend the evening in this little hunting lodge so I could have some peace and a good cry. There on the fireplace is this huge brown butterfly, I’d never seen one like it there and have been very often. Anyway I so wanted to believe this was my sign but you know how skeptical we can be, so although I loved the idea I told myself I was just imagining things, now if it had been black and yellow... that might be something else but brown? But I’d never seen a black and yellow butterfly in Mauritius. The morning after that I wake up at home and there on the porch window is this big beautiful black and yellow butterfly! Some people might tell me it’s a coincidence but I felt better after that. I think it was my sign that she’s ok. I’ve never seen another one but always smile when I see any butterfly now. The only other person I’ve told was my husband as I didn’t think anyone else would understand, but I think you and everyone else here might. Hugs and prayers, Heidi _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 28, 2002 Report Share Posted August 28, 2002 HI Heidi, Hey I beleive 100% it was your grandma telling you that she was okay. Try asking her for another sign. Something maybe a little out of the ordinary. A different color butterfly or someone with something in particular on. That way you'll know that butterfly was for real. It may take a few times of asking but if you really truly want another sign and are ready for one she'll let you know she's listening. Anyway, I am finding that it is best to take it easy when you start getting a flare. From watching I have learned alot. His car had a flat tire on monday. It took us (him) 3 days to get ONE LUG NUT off. His brother in law finally had to cut it off. But he is so sore from trying for 3 days to change one tire. Now, I'm expecting him to take about 4-5 days to finally feel good enough to go for a walk again. It's not easy I'm sure. Good Luck and Good Rest! Keri > > Hi Keri, > It's a pleasure.
