Last night I was grabbed on the way home from the movies and I got lose from the guy who tried to rob me and I believe that my Mom was with me the whole time.
My Mother died several years back and I have a story to tell you if you want to listen.
When I was in 1st grade our class took a field trip to the zoo and I fell in love with the monkeys and gorillas. I wanted to take my Mom home a gift from my field trip so I bought her a salt and pepper shaker set that was crafted after the famous gorilla at the zoo. Over the years we had moved dozens of times and the pepper shaker went missing when I was in grade school and my Mom kept the salt shaker on her shadow box because it was the first present that I had ever bought her. I bought the set out of the lunch money that she gave me to use on the field trip and that touched her heart. She would take it down off of the shadow box and tell people that I had bought the set for her at the zoo and it was her most treasured possession so she would dust it off all of the time. The pepper shaker had been missing for at least 20 years and it was gone for good because we had moved so many times and we unpacked and packed each time we moved and she had looked for it over and over again. Several months after my Mom passed away I was dusting off her beloved shadow box and I noticed that I had a set of salt and pepper shakers and the salt shaker was no longer alone on the shadow box.
I believe that she is with me in spirit and she helps me through hard times. I think that the pepper shaker was a sign from her telling me that she was with me. The salt and pepper shaker set that I had bought her hasn't been sold at the zoo for at least 20 years.
I posted this story so that people who have lost a love one can see that our loved ones never leave our side and that they are with us even in spirit.
My husband's prize possession was his 1985 Mustang 5 litre GT. He bought it new and he looked after it so well that it still almost smelled new. He died of cancer in 2001. The Christmas before he died one of my neices gave him an exact model of that Mustang. And at his memorial service, it was on the altar along with a picture of him drinking his favourite single malt.
For a long time after the service whenever I would look at the car, the driver's door was open. I would close it and the next day it would be open again. Because he died in our house I knew he was still here and I found it really comforting.
I still can't think about him without crying. We were together a long time and I really miss him. But I think he's always around making sure I'm okay.
Many of times she has let me know that she is around. I haven't seen a ghost of her or anything like that but I know she will always be with me. I have a story about finding a place to live the same day that I was going to be homeless and I will post that sometime.
I broke up with my ex and I was being evicted by the sheriff because my ex went to court and got an eviction because someone new was going to move in. In my area they hang a large red tag on your door the day before an eviction is to take place. The day that I got the red tag I didn't have a place lined up to go because I couldn't find a place that would take my dog and cats. I kept driving up and down the streets in the suburbs and in the city looking for a place that would take someone with bad credit, an eviction on the books and pets. I looked for several months and I was getting ready to be put in the streets so I went out and rented a storage facility for my belongings and I started looking for a motel room but they didn't take pets either. I found a coupon on the street for a pancake house and I went to it. When I sat down for a cup of coffee at the pancake house a newspaper was on the seat next to me and I picked it up and it was on the page in the rental section. There was one rental in the entire paper and it was a small house with a fenced in yard that took pets. The ad stated that if you moved in immediately that you would get a free months rent. I didn't have a deposit and I called the man that was renting the house and he gave me the lease right on the spot. If I wouldn't have found that coupon laying on the street that day I would have been homeless. The bad part about the house was it didn't have a refrigerator or stove but I managed for one year to do without either one. My Mom is with me each and every day of my life.
I love your stories, and hope that you post more. I'm at work right now, but when I have some time, I'll tell you more about ghosts keeping me out of trouble too. Thankyou.
somebody will probably flame them before long; just never mind about it.
and welcome, you new people!
I have a great story about an aging Lakota Shaman that I got to know many years ago, but i will have to write it down some night when I'm not so tired....
