When my mother-in-law passed unexpectedly, the pastor said we would see glimpses of her ... someone that resembled her, similar hairstyle, or mannerisms and he was right. I try not to look at those times with sadness but rather a reminder that she is still there!

I know it's both sad and a pleasure. But I think it's wonderful to get them "back" for that moment. <3

Oh Kandace!

I had the same experience. I swear I saw my father sitting in a restaurant. I couldn't help but cry. I could barely stop. I've read we all have doppelgangers, but....what cruel hoax to see our deceased loved one again-then have them disappear. It was heart breaking. My heart goes out to you.

<3!!! It is so hard but also so wonderful - the relief and the shock! I have to tell you, after I read your comment, I went up to Breezehill - used to be my mom's fav nursery!! - and stood there in the greenhouse, looking for her favorite fuchsias. As I filled with grief to be there without her, the man at the counter was checking another woman out and as she left, he called, "Thank you for coming in, Judy!" MY MOTHER'S NAME!! It was a sign!! And if you hadn't commented, I wouldn't have gone up there! I hope you "see" your father again but in a way that makes you smile some day soon.
