I am convinced that Jewel came for a visit on the one-year anniversary of her passing. I believe she stepped into Carmine's body to let us know that she is still around - not that I doubted she was.
On the morning of her anniversary, Carmine went and laid in the pink bed by the couch. Even though he never uses it anymore, I have chosen to keep it there just in case he wants to start using it again. He hadn't been in the pink bed for months.
Later, at dinnertime, Carmine ate where he usually does by my office chair. I always watch over him at dinnertime because Lita likes to finish her dinner and then try and steal Carmine's, too. When Carmine walked away from his bowl, I went to check how much he had eaten.
When I bent over to get his bowl, I noticed something in there.....he had taken a pair of my socks and buried his food!! In the 10 years Carmine has owned me, he has never once buried his food. I just about fell over when I saw that! I said, "Hello Jewel! Nice of you to visit."
It's been a few weeks since Jewel has visited me. I am hoping she'll come to visit again soon. She always makes my day when she appears. :)
What a wonderful post -- and visit. :-)
ReplyDeleteI actually highly doubt the continuation of the self or ego after death, but I had a couple of hair-raising (literally) experiences some months after Annie died, and one shortly after the first anniversary of her passing. So...who knows? I have no explanation other than it WAS Annie's spirit. :-)
Peace.

When our Coco left to go over the Bridge Timmy and Toby had laid with him for 2 days. I had thought he would pass the week before but Timmy, Toby knew better. The next night when I went to bed and turned out the light I felt a cat walk across me but when I reached out to give a pet no one was there. I put on the light and knew then it was Coco. Timmy came in as I was looking dazed and gave me his attention so I knew all was well.
