An afterlife connection

My husband passed exactly 2 years ago today. He had pancreatic cancer and from the day he was diagnosed our life changed and would never be the same. I won't go into the months of treatment and the toll it took on us both because that was just a few months in our 25 years together. And although I am very grateful for the time I had with him, the sadness and loss are still very raw.

When I saw your ad, just today, I was so amazed and pleased. I had an experience with a hummingbird a few months after his passing that, for me, I believe was an afterlife connection. I was watering by hand some outside plants that I had just planted when suddenly there was hummingbird sitting/hovering right on top of the stream of water that was coming from the hose I was holding. I was astounded as hummingbirds just aren't seen where I live. At least not by me.

That amazing tiny creature looked me right in the eyes and I teared up, not only from thinking about my husband, but also because this littlest of birds struck me as a huge miracle of creation. So the hummingbird and I looked at each other for probably on a few seconds (it seemed longer) and then it flew away. I moved the hose a bit to the right as I continued to water and all of a sudden it was back hovering once again on the water. Oh my gosh. Then in my peripheral vision to my left, I saw another hummingbird and then "my" hummingbird flew over to it and they were gone. It felt like the second hummingbird was saying to "mine" come on, it's time to go. I knew right then this was my husband.

Prior to his death he said he hoped he could get a message to me and I said he would and I would be paying attention. I have not seen another hummingbird since that once, but it has touched me deeply and I have hummingbird "things" everywhere. I read your story and you are so right about realizing what is really important in this life. Thank you for letting me share my story, especially today.
