Oh Debbie! I truly believe our loved ones are as close as our own breath! After I lost my husband in July 2004. I was in deep grief. I was letting our dogs out before going to bed and the northern lights came out more vibrant than I have ever seen them! I have a strong faith, as he did, and all I could say is Wow , the view up there must be spectacular! I then started to cry and just sad I miss U! Can U see me? Both dogs looked up at the sky and a light was going around and around in circles. I knew that I knew that Ai knew. I slept well and was in total peace that night and ever after. Reply
Cheryl, thank you for sharing your story, it was beautiful. What a joy it is when we know that we know that we know. Nothing can ever change it when we reach that joyful moment of truth in our hearts. Merry Christmas to you, from me. Love, Debbie Reply
Debbie, I believe with all my heart this is true. My husband passed in 2011 and he sends me so many signs mostly hearts. I see them everywhere and in a lot of ways. The other day there was a film preview on tv and when I looked up a 1955 ford car, blue and white drove across the screen. When we met, and dated this is the car he had. Is that a sigh from him? Absolutely without a doubt I believe it was him letting me know he’s still with me. Merry Christmas! Reply
Barbara, that is very inspiring, thank you for sharing. It was a blessing I’m sure. Merry Christmas to you, from me. Love, Debbie Reply
My Grandmaw was the same way and everyone in my family says I get my love for snow from her And the color pink. She lived in the backwoods of Caesar,, NC with my Grandpaw. They got snow on occasion but I can’t tell you how many snows came at Christmas. I remember the day she passed away. I will forever. The night of her visitation ,the line wrapped around that little country church. For a woman that rarely went anywhere,she sure had a lot of people who loved her. All those people coming in were telling us it had began to snow. I know without a doubt that ,that was her way of easing my pain from loosing her. Indeed she was with me. It lightly snowed through her burial and I couldn’t help but have a mixture of sorrow and gladness in my heart. As soon as the seremony was over, the snow stopped. Grandmaw, I knew it was you and I could see your blue eyes twinkling and the big smile on your face with a little snuff tucked in your lip. Every time it snows, I know you are here for a visit.🙏💕 Reply

Dearest Debbie What a beautiful story about your Mom’s delight in Christmas 🎄 and the falling snow… I truly believe that our loved ones let us know in so many ways that they are with us, through happy and sad times.. Many blessings always Annie ❤️ Victoria BC 🦀🐳🦀 Reply
Thank you, Annie. I of course agree, they find ways to communicate with us I believe that. Merry Christmas, from me to you. Love, Debbie Reply
Debbie my dad passed in Feb 1967 and right after he died it snowed! His grandson whom he loved with all his heart was about 4yrs old, asked his mom, my sister, if Jesus would let pawpaw come back and play with him in the snow! I do believe as you do. My dad had a clock that belonged to his mother and had not worked in years, The morning We found my dad dead, that clock chimed. Yes let us that believe these things have our moments that we will never forget, etched in our hearts!! God bless you anf keep you! Thank you for all the wonderful encouragement you share! Reply
Ann, that is an amazing story, thank you for sharing so heartfelt. Merry Christmas from me to you. Love, Debbie Reply
I’m with you on this. My dad rode a bicycle a lot of his adult life. A week after his death, I saw an elderly man go by that looked like my dad. I turned around to follow him but I never found him. Reply
Judy, thank you for sharing with us, I believe our loved ones or their Angels let us know they are ok, I just do. Merry Christmas from me to you. Love, Debbie Reply
My mother just passed away in a September. Christmas was always a challenge for her after my Grandpa passed away in 1969. He was the “biggest kid” at Christmas. She hated snow at the holidays because it prevented family from Traveling to be together. And the last two years she was sick at Christmas. Last year she was so sick she did not even want to be picked up from the rehab hospital to come to my house for dinner. I felt robbed and angry because with her health issues we were both pretty sure last year was her last Christmas with us. So this year is a mix of feeling she is at peace and with Daddy and her mom and dad and brothers…and sorrow because she is no longer here with us. Our oldest daughter is getting married December 30. So joy is truly coming in the morning as they say. Reply
Shauna, I totally understand what you are saying. Yes, Joy is coming for your family in so many ways. Ways you have yet to see, a new family member a son in law grands and more. Merry Christmas from me to you. Love, Debbie Reply
I grew up in the 40’s , the youngest of 3 daughters, with Mom always letting us girls know, that Western Bluebirds were her favorite bird, but then saying sadly, that they weren’t around anymore, because of all of the housing!! Consequently, I never got to see one! Mom loved birds and flowers and was a good Mother, and farm wife to my Dad, for over 60 years. She passed away just a few months before her 79th birthday, of cancer, 23 years ago this Christmas season! I MISS HER, and my Dad, STILL ~ On that next, cold, Feb. morn, (her birthday morning,) I was sitting at my kitchen table reading a devotional, sipping my coffee, feeling a bit sorry for myself because I had just lost my job, and I was missing my Mama! ….And, all of a sudden, a bright blue male Western Bluebird landed about 6′-8′ from me, on my deck railing! What a pleasant surprise, and gift! I knew that Mom was looking down from HEAVEN above, and sent me that message! I have had 1-3 nest boxes of Western Bluebirds each summer since! I feed them live meal worms, that I buy, nearly each day! A few years ago, we had a very cold streak, with snow and ice. It was miserable, so that winter when I would go out to feed, after calling them….a flock of OVER 25 would fly in, eat, and leave. I know Mom would enjoy seeing them, if she still lived next next door!!! <3 Reply
Carol, that was such a beautiful story. Thank you, for sharing it with us. Mom’s just have a way of letting their children know all is ok and will be ok. Merry Christmas from me to you. Love, Debbie Reply
Thank you, AND Back at you. Wishing you a Wonderful Christmas season….Filled with many great memories and HIS BEST BLESSINGS! <3 & Prayers ~ Reply
Debbie…Love this story. My mother always loved Christmas so much! And yes…I believe loved ones that have passed always visit from time to time. I was born on my mother’s Birthday 04/14 we won’t discuss what year…lol. But every time it’s 4:14 on a clock I can always feel my mom is with me or I’m thinking of her and look at the clock and it’s usually 4:14! Reply
Debbie, yes there are so many ways our loved ones communicate with us it is amazing. Thank you, for sharing with us. Merry Christmas from me to you. Love, Debbie Reply
