HNT Soulmates



Last night we went to the cemetary. Cheyenne needed some time alone with Lona so I drove her there, then I drove to the end of the street and talked to O on my cell whilst Chey sat by the graveside and talked to Lona. We lit candles and placed them all around so that she would have some light.

We were there until 2AM.

Most of the graves in the cemetary, including Lona's, have solar lights around the headstones. As I sat in the car and waited I couldn't help but notice that all of the lights scattered across the cemetary were the same white-blue color as the stars in the sky above. It looked as if the sky was merely a reflection of the lights on the ground.



There are also windchimes on shepherds hooks near the headstones, two windchimes by Lona's grave. They produce a beautiful sound all around as the cool night breeze sweeps across the grounds. We went to the cemetary last Sunday to put out windchimes and as we worked a small tornado developed in the trees near her grave. We stood and watched as it swirled the trees around and lifted the leaves from the ground and up into the sky. We all felt sure that it was Lona sending us a message of her approval, her windchimes whipped around in the wind as if she were playing with them.

The next morning when I dropped Cheyenne off at school the same thing happened again. As Chey went to enter the front doors a small up-draft began near her and lifted the leaves off of the ground. They encircled her and landed in her hair. It was the most amazing thing I've ever seen. She turned to me and said 'I think Lona's here. I think she just gave me a hug.'

I believe that too, my sweet girl.
I believe she is all around you and enveloping you in her love every minute of the day. She'll always be a part of you.

My condolences. I can't imagine loosing a child, much less at such a young age.

I'm embarrassed to say that I haven't been by lately, and have missed out on this whole episode. My condolences to her parents, your daughter and you.

it is amazing how the ones we are so reluctant to let go of, are just as reluctant to let go of us. I think it is safe to say that Chey has her own guardian angel.

I can't get over how much your daughter looks like you. Hope you're both doing better.

There are times that the forces of nature conspire, inspire and touch us in such ways that we know that we are connected to those that have moved beyond this plane. *HUGS* to you and Chey.
