This is a scrapbook page I created for Matthew with my new Clairvoyant Kit, which is now available in the store.
Journaling Reads:
Matthew,
Your Grandma Rosemarie
passed away on January
25, 2001. It was a very
long cold winter for me.
My grief was so strong
and I felt like I was walking around
in a horrible fog for months. I remember
that next Spring, although my grief was
far from over, I was given a sign that
everything would be ok. In the back yard, there was a wild rose bud... just one pink rose on it... and some how, when I saw it, I knew that it was sent to me
by my Mom to let me know she was ok, and that I would be ok. I had not seen that rose before or since the one appeared. That is why I know... Spring is about life... renewing itself, and when we die, I do not believe that it is over, that that is the end. I won’t pretend to know what
happens, but I believe that we
go on. I believe our spirits live forever, and that some day, in a different form, we are all together again. I believe that we get signs from our loved ones who have passed on all the time, that they live on... we just have to be open to them and trust the feelings we get. A song might play on the radio that says something you need to hear, a friend might call you out of the blue, a wild rose might show up in your back yard. But there is one thing that I believe with all my heart and soul, and that is that love lasts forever, and I will always love you... Just as I know my Mom loves us still.

Deb, I don't know what to say. You've got me teary-eyed with your sweet journaling. I've been missing my mom and dad lately, and this really helps. Thank you.

Happy Holidays
