True Story ~ My Aunt Lorraine

Happy Wednesday, everyone! I want to share a true, personal story of mine with you ~

A couple of nights ago, I had a dream visit with my Aunt Lorraine.  She is my father's youngest sister and was a huge part of my raising years!  As an adult, she became my best friend and confidant.  She's been in Spirit now for almost 10 years, passed at the age of only 51.  I've missed her here with me, daily. Since her passing, I've only seen her a handful of times. She usually comes to me when I'm reading for a client who has lung cancer, rheumatoid arthritis and/or Sjogren's syndrome (as she had).  

I visited with her only once before, in dream state.  I remember that visit very well.  We met at our family's lake property in Seneca Falls, NY.  She was on the outside of the screened-in porch and I was inside of it.  It wasn't too long after she passed so we basically talked about God and how wonderful she finally felt.  We smiled at each other and giggled.  Then, I asked her, What Heaven's like?  She smirked at me and waved goodbye, slowly and gently, and faded away.  
Little stinker, I thought!  

Here it is, years later ~ and we meet up again.

When I woke after this recent dream visit, I didn't remember the conversation we had - but I felt the peacefulness and grace left unto me.  Although, there was one thing still very vivid! You see, I asked her again, What is it LIKE??  And this time, she gave me a quick 'show' ~

She glanced her eyes up and to my right, causing me to look in that direction.  There was a huge butterfly - about the size of a large man's hand!  As it was floating towards us, ever-so-gently, it was colorless. 

Without words or explanation, my aunt and I thoughtfully combined our favorite colors together - and as this butterfly floated past - as it reached our center - it turned into all of the colors we picked together!  Vivid, bright, perfect colors!  That moment was THE total description of the word AWESOME - in all it's righteousness!

As soon as this happened, I completely *jaw dropped* and looked at her in AWE - and then of course, I woke up.  

It's such a personal story for me.  One of God's Love!  I mean, God loves us so much - we can color our own butterflies?!  A real paint-by-number?!  It's one depiction of my beautiful aunt's love - and one of my love for each of you.  So, I share.

Blessings on your day!
