I'm here. I'm there. I'm everywhere
Did I ever tell you the story about the owl?
When my dad was getting ready to transition to the other side on July 16, 2019, he was at his home, surrounded by his family. I kissed my hubby and kids and asked them to say their final goodbyes to their grandpa. Then they left us so I could be with my father during his last hours.
My husband needed to make a few stops before going home that evening, which provided a good opportunity for him to chat with the kids about their grandpa. They shared stories between tears and smiled a bit at the things my dad used to say and do; how he would talk about hunting and fishing for more time than we cared to listen, and how he loved to cook for everyone. We had many family get-togethers with more food than we could ever eat. Those were the BEST of times!! (Ooooh, I just had Deja Vu. More on that at another time).
When Brad and the kids (Ooohhh wow, now I have a major ringing in my ear. It’s a sign. My dad is chatting with me. Hi dad!!) were finally done with their stops, a few hours had passed. They decided to pass by my parents house so they could peek at the house one more time before going home. As they were driving, they noticed it was very still outside and there wasn’t a car or person in sight. Right before they reached my parents street a huge, Great horned owl swooped across their path and floated up to finally land on the roof of the church my father attended his entire life. This church is literally steps from my parents’ home. Brad and the kids were astounded, and they all told me later that they KNEW it was a sign from grandpa. They knew he had passed away and had sent this sign to let them know he was okay.
They turned into the church parking lot to capture a picture and marvel at the sight of this beautiful owl. Brad said it was so interesting how the owl sat there for the longest time and stared at them, as if to say goodbye and ‘go ahead and get some pictures of me to share with the family.’ Below is a picture Brad took. It’s a little blurry, as he had to zoom in, but you can see the magnificence of this owl. How’s THAT for a sign?!
As I type, I have tears forming. No matter how much time passes and no matter how much healing you’ve achieved, you still just never know when the memories, the sadness, the longing, the missing feelings flood back in and the tears flow. It’s okay. It’s okay to feel this way. But don’t stay in the grief. Don’t stay in the sadness.
This entire blog was written with words from my dad. He’s been with me all day today, pushing and guiding me to write and tell this story. I honestly thought I already had. Maybe? Maybe not? Either way, it’s a great reminder that our loved ones physical bodies may be gone, but their Spirit, their Soul, lives on forever. FOREVER. They want us to be happy. They want us to talk about them. They want us to talk TO them. They don’t want to be forgotten. They don’t want us to be sad. They don’t want us to remember their last days. They want us to remember their BEST days; the memories, the stories, the little things they did that you loved so much…and maybe even chat about the things they did that annoyed you. Ha ha ha. Just laugh again. Be happy again. That’s all our loved ones want for us.
Shortly after my dad passed away, I was guided (he was pushing me again to write) to do some journaling, which turned into some automatic writing/channeling. Lo and behold, my dad popped in to chat with me. I wrote so, so fast. I wrote a lot, but the one phrase I remember the most; the one phrase I hear ringing in my ear often; the one phrase I share with my clients most often, are the words my dad repeated to me that day. Over and over and over.
He said, “I’m here. I’m there. I’m EVERYWHERE.”
I’m here. I’m there. I’m everywhere.
Isn’t that powerful?!
Take some time and think about this phrase. What does it mean to you?
I would imagine your head is spinning a bit as you think about this phrase. I’m sure you’re thinking, but “how?” I have two words for you: Believe. Trust.
Our human minds have a tough time comprehending this concept. But I believe it to be true. I trust it to be true. I know it to be true!
Please know that your loved ones are always with you. Always! They let their presence be known by showing you signs (animals, coins, songs, smells, numbers, etc.). I encourage you to take some time to remember your loved one(s). Look for the signs they share with you. Trust that their Energy, their Spirit, their Soul truly is here, there and everywhere.
😇 ♥️
