"I had a Grandma dream last night !"
or
"Mom visited yesterday !"
Reaffirmed and forever convinced, I excitedly respond, "YaY ! What'd she say ?
Did she have a message ? Details, please !"
& they happily tell.
Funny though, when she first left, I was the one who'd remember best.
Incredibly vivid she was, with her hugs and love
& I would gleefully remind everyone who would listen that she was oh so very there for them too.
It's just some people recall, some do not but, an occasional nightly conversation they absolutely did and do receive.
But, now ?
Now, I'm the one who cannot bring to mind any single one of her latest, comfort-filled drop ins.
boo.
I think that's why Daughter's recent encounter with her Grandma tugs at my heartstrings
& I feel such a strong need to share.

I think it was Auntie D's house. There was a picture on her refrigerator. A family picture from a wedding or a party but, EVERYBODY was there
& waaaaaay in the back was someone I couldn't really see.
I thought it was you, Mom, cause you always want to be behind everyone and hide.
As I was trying to figure it out, Auntie D said, "I can tell you who it is because I know exactly where she was sitting !"
Auntie then began to peel away at the picture and the people until she revealed the mystery person.
It was Grandma !
I think she was reminding me that she is always there and always with us.

& woooo weeeee how I do appreciate those reminders !!
Love continues, of that I am convinced !
& I can only hope, when it's my turn to go, I will be just as generous with my signs as my mama has been with hers.
Thanks for the quietly peaceful comfort you continually offer, Mom.
Yes, you're there.
You are so, sooooooo there
& I am positively positive your person is there for you too, my friends.
Seek them
& you most definitely WILL find them.
Guaranteed.
