Comments on: The Healing Garden and the Hope of Spring: Return of the Hummers http://blythelight.wordpress.com/2008/04/26/healing-garden-spring-hope/ assorted creative pursuits, sprinkled with a lot of garlic Wed, 22 Apr 2009 20:16:39 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: blythelight http://blythelight.wordpress.com/2008/04/26/healing-garden-spring-hope/#comment-103 blythelight Mon, 05 May 2008 03:44:53 +0000 http://blythelight.wordpress.com/?p=46#comment-103 Thank you for such a heartfelt response. I know just what you mean when someone you love is caught between here and somewhere else only they can feel, as if maybe they are also feeling they are partly here and maybe partly in the place they need to go to next, and as if they, too, can feel the presence of loved ones who have gone on before, but they feel them quite close, because the distinction between this reality and the one they live in is not always distinguishable.....a warm hug to you, too, Shu.

The picture is amazing but your words are even more dear. Our folks find a way to stay with us somehow, even after they are leaving us or already gone. I think feeling them, talking to them, has got to be quite normal. I'm still calling out to my father 5 years later. He's not as close by all the time as he was earlier in that time -- maybe he is relaxing a bit as he realizes Chick and I can take care of Snowy (so far) or maybe he has her with him more often when she is dreaming. It is hard to have lost him and feel her leaving. She has more times now when she isn't for sure who we are, especially to her, but deep down she doesn't doubt the connection. Her think was always cardinals, although the hummingbirds were next best. And she gardened, too, although not for a long while now. I'm heading over to Barbolian Fields to see the other photos Thank you for sharing. big hug, Shu Oh, Blythe, that is so wonderful!!! The picture is amazing but your words are even more dear.

I think feeling them, talking to them, has got to be quite normal. I’m still calling out to my father 5 years later. He’s not as close by all the time as he was earlier in that time — maybe he is relaxing a bit as he realizes Chick and I can take care of Snowy (so far) or maybe he has her with him more often when she is dreaming.
