So lovely,it made the tears come into my eyes for our first Christmas without Dad. We wondered what he would be doing for Xmas now we know. God Bless Sonia Uk

Hi All, The last few weeks,I am sure we have been having signs from my Dad. Our bedroom light has been coming on at differant times,during the day,but more so during the night,we wake up,and swear that we turned it off,before going to sleep. Strange,but quite comforting,in many ways. We have just had our Christmas tree put up in the shopping centre,where you can buy a light in memory of your loved one,who has passed away.Its a lovely way to see your Dad light twinkling with all the others,on the tree. You can't help but smile when you walk through each time. Take care all. Love Sonia UK.

My prayers sre with you like so many others tonight.Take are Love Sonia UK

How you doing? I am so pleased that your trip to UK,gave you and the family,such a special time together,its nice to talk of your loved one,laughing,smiling,even some tears. Time kind of heals things,but its just lovely to think of good times had. Its a beautiful time here in the UK,all the leaves falling from the tree's,their,colours carpeting,the earth. I love this time of year.My dog Ash,likes his early morning walks. My Son and his girlfriend are coming to New York,on Dec 18th,for a few days,it will no doubt be very cold out there at that time of year.They want to go ice skating in the park.I am sure they will have a super time,with all the Christmas festives. Take care Love Sonia UK XXX

Oh what a so special weekend,all our family BEING together. Took our Dads ashes to the place where he wanted them scatterd. The sun shone for us, we found a wooden bench, by the waters edge.All sat down and took it in turns to let the ashes slip through our fingers. Thinking and saying silly things to him, as he landed on the green grass, with tree's over head. We did'nt mind putting him there,as it was so lovely.Little duckling and fish swimming around in the lake. Tied some ballons to the trees over head,he is now where he wanted to be. But I know and he is with us,as I often ask him for a sign,and this morning he gave me yet another one,as I was walking our dog.I thank my Dad for giving them to me,everything is ok with him. I send you a smile,and lots of love across the miles. Take care all. Sonia UK XXXXXX

Hi All, This weekend, our family are taking a trip,up to where my Dad played as a boy. He wanted his ashes to be spread around a reservior,very near to one of our National forest,in the county of Leicestershire UK. Its a lovely perfect place.It has taken time to sort this trip out.Making sure Mum and us,his three children can all go together. As Dad passed away in March,the time, and feelings are so right now. The weather forecast is going to be good for this bank holiday weekend,so smiles, maybe some tears,as we do this last thing for our dear Dad. Take care all. Love Sonia UK XX

You were such a team,your Mum is so proud of you Kelly.Try to be strong,and you will get through, what ever lies ahead,as your Mum know's you will, for her sake. She is only in the next room,always there to guide you and you will know she is, you see. Take care. Love Sonia UK xxxx

Teri,My thoughts are with you. So many people here on this site understand what you have gone through and what lies ahead. But you will take comfort from all that you did for your husband,and all he did for. Take care Sonia UK XXX

I sometimes think it's so wrong to smile or feel happy when thinking of a loved one. But I can't seem to help the way I feel. I am glad that you find peace and joy when you think of your loved ones.They have not left us, only gone into the next room,it's a lovely thought. You can only feel like this in your own way and in your own time. We are lucky we can do this. Enjoy the rest of your holiday. Take care, Love Sonia UK xxxxxx

Thoughts and prayers from over the miles to you and your family.Sonia UK XXXXXXXXXXX

I have just finished putting together a special book about some of my memories of my Dad. I enjoyed putting pictures of myself as a baby with my Dad holding me. Pictures of him when he was a boy. Things from his life,prayers,lots that make me laugh. Its a book I will treasure. I have it tied with a white ribbon,hanging on a wall below his wedding picture of him and my Mum. All around it are pictures of our family, it is something that I take pleasure in seeing each day as I come down the stairs. We talk about him as if he is still with us,without him I wouldnot have my life.Thankyou Dad for being with me always. Hope you having a nice July 4th. Love Sonia UK XXXXXX

I was so sorry to read your mail,about your Granmother passing away. It's just not fair. I often hear myself asking why did this have to happen in such away. There has to be a answer somwhere,but I can't always seem to find what I want to hear. My thoughts are with you, like so many others on this site. Take care,and you and the boys lean on each other for awhile. Lots of Love Sonia,Trevand a special woof from Ash xxxxxxx

Hi Katie, You have always been there for me,and many others,with your comfort and support.It's your turn,for some hugs from the very special friends you have here. You have to feel like this,sometimes. Its our bodies way of letting go,of all the pent up emotions.We all need a good cry or even a scream. You can go on for so long keeping a brave face,for everyone else's sake. There comes a time,when something says what about little old me. A big hug is winging its way across the miles to you. Do something that is nice for you today.Take care. Love Sonia UK XXXXXXX

So sorry for your loss. Take comfort in your family and friends,lean on each other. Remember yout Dad has only slipped into the next room,somewhere very near. God Bless Sonia UK XX

I wanted to share with you, my families very special afternoon. We were invited to go to one of our local churches, for a service to be with others who have lost their loved ones to cancer. The local hospice holds two remembrace services,a year for families to attend if they want to. The church was full,all ages.For myself I found it hard,as I could not sing the hymns,as my eyes kept filling with tears. Looking around me there were others,wiping their eyes. They read a story for the little ones about a poor blackbird that had died, the other animals buried it and weht on their way, as they passed a tree, they heard the beautiful song, from the blackbird. My sign from my Dad has been a singing robin, very close to me, and I feel in my heart its my Dad telling me he is ok, and he is fine. They read out the verse, FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND, which is lovely. After the service, we all wrote a label and tied it to a ballon. All together we went outside, and let them fly into the sky, shouting what ever to our loved ones.Love you Dad. On my Label I wrote, Our Dad, keep singing little robin I love you. I will close now, as I can feel the tears coming into my eyes. God Bless you all. Love Sonia UK XXXXX
