A Strange But Uplifting Experience

I was not going to do an entry today but something  changed my mind and I wanted to share it with you.

Firstly, I had a long conversation with Jackie last evening. She and Ron want to thank you from the bottom of their hearts for all the wonderful messages that you left for them under the Rosemary tribute. She says it is helping them a great deal and she will read and re-read it often in the days ahead.  Rosemary's funeral will be on the 25th August.

We talked of many things, how the road had changed over the years, how difficult the weather has been for the gardens, our various health problems.  We even mentioned the lack of butterflies this year.  Normally we get a good many of them, Blues, Common White and Red Admirals mostly but this year I only saw one and that looked like a moth.  We even put a special butterfly house up with attractant in it, still not a single visitor.

At the end of the conversation, Jackie told me to ask Rosemary for help with any of my problems.  She said that as Rosemary was an angel now she was sure Rosemary would watch over me as well as her.

Normally, my prayers and requests are directed towards the Lord and nobody else so I thought it was a bit of a strange thing to say.  However, last night my back was absolutely awful, I had been crying with the pain of it.  When I eventually retired to bed for the night I suddenly remembered what Jackie had said and I thought, well I have nothing to lose.

So I asked Rosemary to watch over her parents and also asked if she could watch over me.  Nothing elaborate, just a few words.  Normally during the night I have to get up with the back pain and walk around for a while.  Well, I slept right through and today, although I cannot say truthfully the pain has gone, it has been much less than it was.

So, this morning I thanked Rosemary and said I was sure that she had taken a hand in it somewhere.  Then a thought came into my head.  I said to Rosemary, if it really was you that helped me with the pain then can you give me some littlesign.  A butterfly popped into my head, so I requested that if it was her, then I would like to see a butterfly as there have been none around this year.

Several hours passed by and I was lying on my bed reading a book, almost on the point of dozing off when I looked out of the window.  An orange blur flashed by, I was certain it was a butterfly by its movement but I could not be absolutely sure, it happened so fast and it was certainly no species I would be able to identify.  I felt a sudden thrill but then thought about it.  Had I been mistaken, could it have been an orange petal blown into the air by the wind?  I just did not know.

So, although it might sound silly I told Rosemary that if that was her trying to give me a sign then I was uncertain because it was far too quick and she should have sent me a white one instead  so there could be no mistake.

I left the room and returned ten minutes later to continue my book.  A sudden breeze ruffled my curtain and caught my attention.  Looking up I saw a large white butterfly hovering outside my window and then it came and settled on the edge of my open window.  A sudden rush of great joy ran through me, I simply cannot explain it.  I said thank you my dear and God bless you.  The butterfly made a circle outside my window and then was gone, not flown away but just.......gone. It simply just disappeared.

I went to my front door and scanned the garden and other gardens in the street - no butterflies.  I went into the back garden and scanned every inch of it - no butterflies.  Nothing.

There are those of you who will think this is pure co-incidence but remember, I have had many strange experiences in my life that I have written about in my journal.  I close my mind to nothing.  There is much man cannot understand, cannot comprehend, a power that is greater  than us, a power we just cannot imagine with our human minds.  Love does not die, I have always believed that and always will.

I shall be ringing Jackie later on to tell her what happened. I know she will have no doubts what and who it was.

I think I have a new guardian angel.

P.S. Glad you all enjoyed the video I posted yesterday.
