Do You Think I am Daft?!

I'm daft too, I have a robin that comes to me too, my neighbour's mother died and a day or two after a cat walked into her kitchen and took up residence, she was convinced it was her mother, so there are a lot of daft ones out there

My grandchildren think every blackbird in the garden is grandad. We played Paul McCartney's Blackbird at his funeral, because he used to play and sing it a lot.
If you're daft, then a lot of us are, too.

That feeling of being "at one" or connected to someone who is no longer there says so much about the closeness you shared.
?? Hold those memories close.

On the subject of butterflies at funerals, DD's FIL and MIL's favourite song was the Butterfly Waltz. At his funeral a butterfly appeared in the church. It was a great comfort to the family. Logically it is possibly the type of place that they overwinter, but who cares?

Not daft at all.
Last week my youngest DD asked if we could take my baby Grandson to 'see '. Nan and Grandad. They have been gone 23 and 6 years respectively but she just needed to introduce him to her Grandparents.

No not daft. It's the "Mum" "Dad" etc would have loved this moment. I think of my late father. His football team Leicester City won the league last year. I went up to where his ashes were scattered and told him.
It was very near to what would have been his 100th birthday. (He died in 2002.)

Yes, it was DH Marmight.
I have 'moments' too. x

I was at the funeral of a young man who died by another's hand about 20 years ago. The old church was packed for the service, throughout which a large colourful butterfly sat on the bare wall by the pulpit. His family and all who saw it believed it to be the soul of the deceased. It gave great comfort and no-one can prove it wasn't so.

He lives on in your heart and in your memories and if seeing a robin causes you to think of him, then yes, he was with you.

Of course it was him. Lovely for you!

Meant to add , no I don't think its daft at all. We all have our own way of dealing with missing someone.

If it gives you comfort then go right ahead believing.
