Oh ye of little faith Magpie

There are always coincidences as well as things hard to explain

The mind does play tricks when you are tired or just woken up, sometimes you see or hear what you deep down want to hear/see.

Personally and no one will make me change my mind on this. I believe there must be another higher plane and sometimes when we need comfort or help they join us.

I know i will see my loved ones and pets again. I know i will also have answers to questions i cant find here. I also believe they try to help if you if they can, sometimes in a very different way to what you expect.

It's a nice thought Tabitha, but for certain no one knows anything before they're born and I don't believe we know anything after we die. It is true that the mind plays tricks on us and we see and hear what we want to see and hear, particularly in times of emotional trauma, like fleetingly seeing or hearing a much loved departed pet, thinking you see someone in the distance or shadows, coincidences that we persuade ourselves are real. For me it's all illusions that can, if we're honest be easily explained. I had a much loved uncle only a few years older than me, and just before he died he promised me that if there was an afterlife he would let me know. Well that was 21 years ago, and there's not been even a whisper! So I'm convinced there is nothing there and that It's all in the mind. I do however, believe in fate, and I know that compared to some, I have been lucky in life, my mother, after the death of my father before I was born, married a wonderful man, which gave me a very happy childhood, I was lucky with my own marriage which is now 51 years old and still full of love, two brilliant children and three lovely grandchildren who brighten our old age!
