The other night, after a normal, mentally exhausting day of work, I came home early and went right to bed. It was the last night of summer, a beautiful night, and all of our windows were open. As I relaxed in bed I could hear the neighborhood children running around, playing outside. Their laughs and squeels of happiness were like daggers to my heart as I couldn't help but think that my children would never run around. They would never be carefree, happy children, enjoying a summer night with friends. There are so many things they will never get to experience, and it hurts so much to know that.
But I'm glad I deicided not to close the window that night because the following night (this time it was actually bed time when I went to bed!) I was drifting off to sleep and suddenly woke up, with such an overwhelming feeling that my children were near. Well, technically they were since I sleep right next to their ashes, but this was different. It took me a few moments, but I realized their windchimes were playing such a sweet, soothing song. A sign? Probably not. It's more likely it was just a windy night. But I'd like to think they were playing their mommy a little song so she could go to sleep.
Thank you, Caitlyn, for getting me such a special gift. I love you babe!
Dear MaryFrancis,
ReplyDeleteRemember the chat we had on the phone about a month ago about different signs. Well I believe it was a sign, so keep listening to those wind chimes. They will bring you a little bit of peace.
Definitely a sign sweetheart that they were right there with you! Very beautiful gift that windchime <3 Tara
ReplyDeleteIf you even thought you felt them then they were there...I have to believe it, so you do, too. As hard as it is to feel them, it's better than not feeling them at all. I try to remind myself of that when it happens to me...
ReplyDeleteI believe it's a sign. They were playing mommy a sweet little good night lullaby. Remember that your three precious babies are always with you. I'm glad you loved my gift! Love you sis!
ReplyDeleteOh that is beautiful. I believe in signs and they were definitely playing you a song.
