Hi all,
Just thought I would share a little story with you, as sometimes our furbabies let us know that they're okay and waiting for us at the bridge. This happened in November 2003
It was 3 days after Candy had passed away, and Thanksgiving was over, and everybody was trying to get back to their busy lives. Guilt still plauged me, and so did all of the "what ifs". I was also doubting that there was a next life or that she wouldn't want to go because I hadn't said goodbye. She went very fast, and we didnt' know what to do.
It had been raining since she passed away (ironic I suppose). I was comming home from work one day, it was maybe about 4:00 pm and the clouds started to go away.
Normally I have my tape in the player in the car (my car is old and doesn't have a CD player) but today for some reason I had the radio on. I was driving down the road and I pulled into my neighborhood and a new song came on the radio. The words made me tear up and cry, and I had to pull over because I couldn't see the road through the tears. (I'll post the lyrics at the end) When the song was done, I looked up and realized that not only had it stopped raining and it was starting to be sunny, but an amazing rainbow flew across the sky- from horizon to horizon. I had never seen something so beautiful. It was in that moment that I felt that Candy had said goodbye to me and told me that she was okay and not in any more pain. That is when I truly felt relieved. I still cried, but in my heart I knew she was safe.
Anybody else have similar stories??
When I look to the Sky by Train
When it rains it pours and opens doors
And floods the floors we thought would always keep us safe and dry
And in the midst of sailing ships we sink our lips into the ones we love
That have to say goodbye
And as I float along this ocean I can feel you like a notion that won#%92t seem to let me go
Cause when I look to the sky something tells me you#%92re here with me
And you make everything alright
And when I feel like I#%92m lost something tells me you#%92re here with me
And I can always find my way when you are here
And every word I didn#%92t say that caught up in some busy day
And every dance on the kitchen floor we didn#%92t dance before
And every sunset that we#%92ll miss I#%92ll wrap them all up in a kiss
And pick you up in all of this when I sail away
Whether I am up or down or in or out or just plane overhead
Instead it just feels like it is impossible to fly
But with you I can spread my wings to see me over everything that life may send me
When I am hoping it won#%92t pass me by
And when I feel like there is no one that will ever know me there you are to show me.
