Kim, as others have said so well, it is natural to wonder why her, why now. I lost both my parents within a year of each other when I was in my early twenties. Although I moved on, I always had the empty space for them. I, too, had a vision about about six years ago -- I was in a meditation exercise and I saw both my parents smiling at me. They said, "We are so proud of you!" Well, I just bawled. So, yes, they are always with us in Spirit, checking in on us. Peace. Don
