Showing Original Post only (View all)The strangest and most beautiful thing happened today at mom's funneral. [View all]
At the beginning of the service I was looking at the glass box that held the white marble urn that held my mom's ashes. I saw white smoke swirling and rising inside. I knew it was a reflection on the glass and kept turning to see the source. Very cold, lot's of snow the day before and knew it was a vent to the outdoors causing the mist/ smoke. I could not locate the source.
It continued to move and rise during the service. It was mesmerizing. It stopped half way through.
I am not a religious person, yet think it was actually my moms spirit letting me know she was free and that she loved me.
People have said there will be signs to see, they were right, it is true and I saw one.
Sleep in peace mommy.

Sheesh - I heard my dad's voice, announcing himself like his answering machine message did.

I think so too, and I'm not religious, either, but this was a spiritual experience
