Presence

Dear Readers,

Family members or loved ones passing away is a very sensitive subject that most of us do not want to think or talk about. I was so young when my great grandfather, Gigi’s Papa, passed away that I do not really remember this. However, I do know that on the day of his funeral, a rainbow covered the sky. My family tells me that I said, “there’s Gigi’s Papa.”

To this day, when I see a rainbow in the sky, I feel his presence. Like he is watching over me and the family. When I went to visit a college (which I didn’t end up going to, but this worked out for the best), we saw a rainbow on the drive home. When my brother got married recently, my dad saw a rainbow in the sky that morning. When I was driving to the airport recently soon after starting this blog, I saw a sliver of rainbow in the sky.

In our family, rainbows have come to symbolize my great grandfather looking out for us. It feels comforting to see the beautiful colors stripe the sky and have a sense that someone is watching over me and my family.

I believe that in some shape or form, people/spirits look after us and we can feel energy sometimes. Do you ever feel like you can sense someone’s aura even when they are not there? You think of them, you hear them, you smell them, you see them, you feel them. This can be someone who has passed or is still out there, but just not physically with you.

I find it so comforting at times to feel someone’s presence even when they are not there. Maybe they are spiritually, you carry a piece of them with you in your heart, they are watching over you, or they are thinking about you. Maybe they will come back to you in some way. Somehow. Someday.

You might have a different sign, token, or symbol that reminds you of someone in your life besides a rainbow, but you see something and can feel this person with you.

If you ever feel lost or alone, know that someone out there is watching over or thinking about you. This could be someone who has passed, someone from the past, or someone from the present who you are not with currently. Someone out there cares about you. Find comfort in the presence you may feel of those who are in your heart or mind but not physically in front of you. They may be looking out for you.

Love,

Samantha
