Soapz Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I am so sorry that I wasn't able to get away from this work/school stuff going on here, but i am glad that Holly was able to be there for you, Kathie. On another note: Lawanda would only be 12 mins from my house....so maybe hurry this whole relocation thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L Swearengin Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 We've been going down there every time he gets a couple days off. I'm not sure when he will finally pull the trigger and retire, but hopefully soon......I don't have any more space for my houses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Day Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Kathie, I am so very sorry to hear this sad news. I hope that your happy memories will help you during the difficult times. Sending much love, Traci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted May 16, 2017 Author Share Posted May 16, 2017 I hesitated to post this, but you are all so dear to me that in the end I decided I need to share it with you. One of the neighbors stopped by on Sunday to wish me a happy mother's day. The next door neighbor came over with a nice plant and some delicious homemade crawfish bisque. I was missing Lloyd, but the day was passed pleasantly enough with phone calls with family, reading on the porch. When I was getting ready for bed, I checked my phone one last time and had a message from Lloyd, a photo of a beautiful rose. I was stunned, and at first couldn't figure out where it came from. It was a neither a regular email nor a text message. After a little sleuthing, I finally figured out it it came through my Google+ account, which I once signed up for but never use, and from which I can't remember ever getting a message. I'm guessing Lloyd signed up for Google+ and added me as a friend. But tell me this -- why did the message come through 3-1/2 months after he passed, and on Mother's Day of all days? And a picture of a rose? L was big on giving me flowers. Needless to say, the coincidence opened the floodgates. My eyes mist up even thinking about it. And considering L was such a Luddite when it came to the internet . . . it boggles the mind. I have felt him close since he passed and talk to him frequently, but aside from the sock that went missing shortly after he passed and has yet to reappear (a running joke between us) or the sweet potato that sprouted on the kitchen counter and is growing vigorously (I can't think how many he tried to start unsuccessfully) -- Well, this rose was the most dramatic sign that he's hanging around, if in fact he is. I like to think so. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodentraiser Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Kathie, I used to do some ghost hunting. In the process of that, I've researched the afterlife and after hearing story upon story about things that happen to people after their loved ones passed away, I have no doubt whatsoever Lloyd is simply watching out for you. If you are talking to him, I'm sure as anything that he is listening to you. And probably thinking of other things he can do for you, too. People pass on, love doesn't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Kelly, your second post only posted twice; your first one posted five times. And Kathie, that sounds exactly like something Lloyd would do. Next time you talk to him, give him our regards. I firmly believe our loved ones continue to look out for us after they pass. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
