I’m sure your mother is with you and your family, you just need to be willing to acknowledge the little signs (at least this is what I think). Thank you for taking the time to read and relate to my story.

It’s amazing how parenting our own children can bring us closer to our parents, whether they are here to share the journey with us or whether they come back to life in our memories like in this moving post. Thank you for sharing your insights. I hope you can find a way to share them with your little boy as he grows older to help him feel that sense of love and connection to his grandfather. And for sure keep a hard copy of this post for him!
p.s. I love the “ordinary miraculous” post by Dear Sugar Cheryl Strayed about something her mom bought her years before she died and before her granddaughter was born: http://therumpus.net/2011/08/dear-sugar-80-the-ordinary-miraculous/
