It doesn’t matter what you believe in, Universe, spirit, the stars and planet you were born under… all believe in you. Your mother has never left. This is a wonderfully uplifting story of hope and success! Congrats on all. YOU made it happen.

It was touching to read such a personal piece and to hear more about your mom - I truly believe in the world working in such kind and mysterious way 🩷 So, like u said, it feels like what u experience was indeed a gift

This truly touched my heart, John

Whether one leans into science or spirituality, love has an undeniable way of echoing back to us when we need it most. It definitely feels like your mum Jessie is sending her warmth, protection, and a little birthday magic your way

So glad you're experiencing these happy tears and finding peace

Wishing you a wonderful 17th anniversary and huge success with the book! 🦋

Good on you, John. I'm squarely in the non-spiritual camp myself, but sometimes the universe gives us a nudge that is hard to ignore. <3

That was something else but totally worth it and a fantastic story of hope! Amazing! 🥰

There are very many belief systems that account for the dreaming of activities with a loved one as meaning their presence (energy field, essence, etc.) is very much touching your own. What a lovely confirmation.

Oddly enough I was working on a butterfly illustration for my book today which is dedicated to a friend that passed. Whenever I see a butterfly in my garden I think of her.
