This is my Mom. She would have been 74 today. She died suddenly when I was 18. She's been gone for 26 years now.
Our relationship was extremely turbulent, and I am grateful that we were repairing it during the last 2 years of her life.
I find the pennies and coins she puts in my path - sometimes in the most hilarious places like a pantiliner I pulled out from my purse this morning.
It's not about longing or wishing anymore. It's about the relationship I have with her now.
It's still there, but different.
This is a picture of her marrying her third and last husband. It's the last picture I have of her smiling. It sits on a special shelf in our hallway with my wife's and I's combined ancestors.
Sometimes the ancestors "drop by" and say hi. Other times it's in pennies and numbers. And in rare cases it's broken cups.
How are you connecting to your ancestors?
What is your relationship like with loved ones who are gone? If you need help reconnecting in everyday life, book a spiritual guidance session and let's talk.
