The other night after leaving work I pulled up to the one intersection on my way home, the same intersection that multiple times last year, I crossed paths with my little brother here. As I pulled up, I was feeling more emotional – it hits in waves, one day I can be totally fine all day and others not.
We have to accept the little nudges from God when he shows them to us. As I was waiting for the light to turn from red to green so I could go through, the same van that my brother used to drive for the refrigeration company… drove through the lights.
Cue instant great big alligator size tears falling from my eyes.
It was in that moment before the van drove by that I was thinking of him and thinking of calling our one Grama, after seeing the van, with a very shaky voice I didn’t hesitate to call her.
Our loved ones, as much as we miss them in this physical space and time, are always with us and as much as it can be devastating to never see them physically again, I am so incredibly grateful for signs like this.
Kind of like when I walked in our bedroom the one night and in the middle of the bed was a dime. Just a single dime.
Grief and love are such unique feelings – never be afraid to be you and embrace however you need to feel. Look for those glimmers in life and shine bright!
