Celebration of Blessings

It was 1 year ago today that my mother transitioned in the most extraordinary way.
She passed away in giving love, spirituality, dramatics and A LOT of class!
To the people that knew her that was not too surprising.

What are surprising are the gifts that she gave us since she transitioned.
My career as a Communicator seems to have taken off since then. I feel as though when she left that she put a jet rocket pack on my back and pressed the start button! She was and still is my biggest fan.

She gave me such marvelous family and friends that I have in my life, that since she left, made the bond between us only grow stronger and stronger everyday with love, and laughs and a connection of the extraordinary event that we shared. The bond between he people who were in those rooms that night is stronger than anything I have ever felt before in my life. She gave me new friends through the transitioning people brought together for the orchestration of her passing into the non-physical or whom I meet through the jet pack she put on my back. These wonderful friends either only knew my mother for a few hours or not at all, but all said the same thing. “I feel like I knew her!”

The only thing she took, were any apprehensions that I had about “death”

She gave me Sammy,
the wonderful cat that I found for her only 8 months before she left this world,
In broken down doghouse of a house that no one lived in.
I CANNOT tell you what it meant to me to have this being in my life last year after she transitioned. I had no idea how helpful it was to have another being to come home to at the end of the day into an otherwise empty house. Only the knowing that I would be coming home and Sammy would be there to greet me, was a gift for me, especially in the early days and months, when I was still a little thrown that she was not in the physical anymore.

As I am writing this post and I don’t know why I am, or what the theme of this post should be, I see Sammy on the porch sitting and looking at the rain. He is patient and serene, he just IS. He lives his life the way mom mother did, appreciating it, playing with it, living on the joy of it and he shows me how to do that all day every day.

She transitioned 6 days after she was diagnosed, 6 days.
She passed at in her home that she loved in upstate NY with friends and family surrounding her. Many of who just “happen” to stop by that night not knowing (as we all did not) that it was THE night. She passed away in a cone of white light a flickering of lights and a flash of lightning. The signs, signals, and gifts of people, places and things keep showing up in all of our lives and we keep talking about it with each other.

I know that she is with us and I think I am writing this not only for me and Sammy but for the others that were touched that night for Sheila and Ellie and Carol, for Marge, and Mary Ann and Jessica and Sheree and Sierra, for Robert my brother in spirit, for Jessica and Cindy and Matt for Elsa (the hospice nurse that knew her for only 2 hours but loved her immediately), for Florence (our friend that saw the flash of lightning over the house on a clear summer night without a cloud in the sky at the time she passed), For Connie that I knew right away that mom hand a hand in our friendship, and Stephan my husband who she was the last person to speak to in the physical world.

Today I am celebrating a passing of an extraordinary woman with the extraordinary people and animals; she helped to put into my life.

I think I have the title to the post “Celebration of Blessings”, I think she would like that.
